Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Rhombic Dodecahedron with Matt Parker!

Ғылым және технология

Buy Matt Parker's Humble Pi: amzn.to/367UmBV
In this special One Day Build filmed earlier this year, mathematician Matt Parker visits the cave to build a rhombic dodecahedron with Adam! Be prepared for lots of fun geometry discussion as Adam and Matt try to make abstract math concepts tangible with a physical build. They also take this construction a few steps further by lining the inside of the polyhedron with mirrors and LED strips for an infinty mirrored effect!

    it's rrrrrrrreally interesting to see them work out the LED mapping. Not specifically for the outcome, but for the group dynamic and communication. Adam being brutally honest that he has stopped listening (well, his "brain has stopped taking on new information"), Matt trying to think it through on the fly under pressure (Adam started stimming by tapping his foot but caught himself), Adam identifying their difference in approach (satisfyer vs maximizer) and calling out their time shortage, Matt knowing when he has to resort to ripping fresh pieces of tape instead of trying to help with the complicated building, etc. You can see that these folks have worked in groups, know what to do and say to keep things moving without causing grievance, know their own strengths and weaknesses and play to them.

    I genuinely thought that was a well known joke (may still be), and spent a few moments trying to understand the punchline, however, after googling, it doesn't seem to be. I understand it now, and feel like an idiot... perhaps using the word 'wire' rather than 'change' might have saved my stupidity, but that's purely semantics... did make me chuckle when I finally realised :)

    I recently got a fidget toy called a Shashibo that demonstrates perfectly that the rhombic dodecahedron is the inversion of a cube. It's a cube made up of twelve half-rhombic pyramids (Rhombic pyramid cut in half lengthwise along the rhombic face) and then attached to each other by stickers (across the faces) and magnets. The result is a cube that can fold into a bunch of shapes, but one of them is the Rhombic dodecahedron. I... might have had a info-dumping session with my spouse when I realized that. She now knows I have a favorite polyhedron. Ya know, nerd stuff.

Little did we know, when we were told to make two of them, one was going to a Christmas tree at the art museum nearby just prior to our field trip to that museum. I was so excited to see my blue cube sitting on the "Gee, I'm a tree" exhibit in the lobby.

    I run my own wood working business and I have used a dodecahedron shape before to make a hanging light. Each face had scroll sawn Celtic knot elements on them. It was hollow to allow for a light to go inside. You guys have opened my mind to the possibility to utilize other solids (including this one) in the creation of even more varied light boxes. Love my man Mr. Adam Savage, always an inspiration.

Basically, I needed a shape for which the smallest box that could enclose it didn’t share a face with the mystery shape. When my coworker and I figured that it was a tetrahedron it was so satisfying. We immediately mocked it up by folding post it notes.

    I'm going to go against popular opinion here, but I feel that teachers who do not give students real life examples to relate the information to, are not worth paying as much as teachers who help the students discover the relevancy of the information through experimentation and self discovery. Not all teachers should be paid well. HillMath90, please do as you are thinking. My math teachers (private schools) has masters and doctorate degrees in math. They were not able to help me truly understand the subject. I ended up having the self educate using real world examples on my own time, outside of school, in order to understand math.
