"… Frequency to the second power times ten plus two: is the number of balls in any given layer. This simple formula governing the rate at which balls are agglomerated around other balls or shells in closest packing is an elegant manifest of the reliably incisive transactions, formings and transformings of universe. I made that discovery and published it in 1944. This is the mathematics which the molecular biologists have confirmed and developed by virtue of which we can predict the number of nodes in the external protein shells of all the viruses, within which shells are housed the DNA-RNA programmed design controls of all the biological species and individuals within those species. Although the polio virus is quite different from the common cold virus, and both are different from other viruses, all of them employ frequency to the second power times ten plus two in producing those most powerful structural enclosures of all the biological regeneration of life. It is the power of these geodesic-sphere shells that makes so lethal those viruses unfriendly to man. ‘they are almost indestructible.’
