Sphere: Synergetics Formula for the Volume of a Sphere:
“Here are a lot of illustrations for 'Synergetics. This one where we have 12 spheres closest packed around one, I did freehand. It shows all the geometries that occur from 12 spheres around one, and how they all appear as rational values. We show in the book (Sec. 982.60 (Gray) that the value of the sphere itself turns out to be the number five, a whole rational number five, without any pi, where the volume of the tetrahedron is one.”
(This is RBF comment on Illustration at 982.62 (Gray).
