Platonic Solids Made from Neodymium Magnets Satisfying - Plato Timaeus Elements
A platonic solid is a polyhedron (3D shape with flat faces) where:
1) Every face is a regular polygon of the same size and shape.
2) The same number of polygons meet at each vertex (corner).
Example: on a cube, each face is a square, and three squares meet at each corner.
The five platonic solids are:
Tetrahedron
3 triangles meet at each vertex
4 Faces
4 Vertices
6 Edges
Cube
3 squares meet at each vertex
6 Faces
8 Vertices
12 Edges
Octahedron
4 triangles meet at each vertex
8 Faces
6 Vertices
12 Edges
Dodecahedron
3 pentagons meet at each vertex
12 Faces
20 Vertices
30 Edges
Icosahedron
5 triangles meet at each vertex
20 Faces
12 Vertices
30 Edges

The Philadelphia robot Factory is dedicated to exploring the strange behavior of magnetism in its many forms.
Magnetism is 10^40 (10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) times stronger than gravity. This is why a small magnet will cling to a refrigerator even with the Earth’s gravity (1 g) pulling it straight down.
Unlike gravity which only attracts, magnets have two poles. No matter what shape a magnet is, its north pole will repel all other north poles, and attract all south poles. Both poles will attract ferrous metal such as steel.
The strongest magnets are made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron. They are usually plated in nickel and referred to as neodymium magnets. Neodymium magnets are eighteen times stronger than common ferrite refrigerator magnets allowing intricately designed magnetic sculptures to be built.

“If gravity had been sometimes attractive and sometimes repulsive, like electrodynamics, we would never notice it at all because it is about 10^40 times weaker. It is only because gravity always has the same sign that the gravitational force between the particles of two macroscopic bodies like ourselves and the Earth add up to give a force we can feel.”
