Axis of Spin:
"of the respective masses, using one or the other as a
Criterion. Which means that if I have two balls the same
size and I halve the distance between them, that will fourfold
the attraction of one for the other. And then I gave you
the converse of that, the radiation one of Einstein, which
is also second powering. Both of these deal in energies
which are so large that the discrete two for any layer
in terms of atoms would be lost. But when we come to make the
true model, I found out that in the closest packing of spheres
there were the two always there. So we could describe it,
but you really couldn’t discover it experimentally because
it’s too negligible a figure. But there it is and it allows
for the axis of spin.
"So I said, all right, so I’m going to redo all those formulas.
For every vertex in any polyhedron I am going to take two out
of that polyhedron and assign them the function of the axis
of spin. Two vertexes always are poles. This means that I will
subtract from the left-hand side Euler’s formula. For
instance the tetrahedron is four vertexes plus four faces -
six edges plus two. I take out two vertexes on the left-hand
side which I give the function of being poles. That leaves me"
