these are the four perfect solids. all of their sides are made of identical polygons. pythagoras was a bit of a mystic. he was really into these. he was super psyched on these things. hes the guy that gets credit for a^2+b^3=c^2, but it was probly one of his folowers who figured it out or something. some accounts make this all sound like a math cult. the old pythagorean math cult. this is only 4 of these perfect solids. they thought they were so important, like they were intrinsic to the geometry of the universe and the planets perfectly circular orbits. they strongly linked these solids to the "4 elements"- earth water fire wind.
theres another one though. its the dodecahedron. the fifth element. for some reason they mistrusted this shape, so they tried to keep it a secret like it was evil. it was scary and bad to them. i went ahead and boldly blasted this shape right here in the eternity universe blog. look at if if you want. it doesnt have an effect on me but, dude maybe they were right about this thing. im not trying to sound braver than pythagoras, but it doesnt scare me.
