Some Shapes


A few weeks ago I started this addicting project. I got a compass, straightedge, and a pencil and started creating these. I felt bummed out when I was all finished because I wanted to do even more. Maybe I will learn to do some more sometime.

By now you might be thinking "I really want to do these but I dont know how to". If you look in 
"A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe" by Michael S. Schneider, then you will see the instructions for creating perfect shapes (but the heptagon is approximate).

You can vote in your comments for which shape I'll demonstrate (only one vote please).





WARNING! IF YOU PURCHASE THIS BOOK YOU WILL SOON SEE SHAPES AND PATTERNS ALL AROUND YOU



P.S. It is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

something's bothering me!

Zero dimensional is just any given point any where.
One dimensional is a line that goes on for infinity. Or I'll just say infinity for short.
Two dimensional is a geometric shape that has no thickness but is a  shape, such as, semicircles.
Three dimensional  is an object that "takes up space". Everything in the Universe is 3D
Four dimensional is simply, time.
So, what's bothering me?
Clue: It has to do with the above words.
Answer: I can't imagine how something's thickness can be zero.
I could'nt get it out of my mind so I just blogged it.
