Similar to the two-dimensional case of the Chladni plate, the Platonic Solids are simply representations of waveforms in three dimensions. Each tip or vertex of the Platonic Solids touches the surface of a sphere in an area where the vibrations have canceled out to form a node. Thus, what we are seeing is a three-dimensional geometric image of vibration / pulsation within a sphere.

In three dimensional spaces, there are ONLY FIVE natural frequency modes for spherical EM standing wave, resulting in the formation of the five Platonic solids shown below. Each platonic would be perceived as the formation of a stable form of matter, anything in between will tend to be unstable, and will degrade to its nearest stable form, giving off its extra elements as EM energy, with radioactive elements being such an example."Each shape can be attached to a multiple number of the same shape or other platonic shape to generate a bigger platonic solid or even a non platonic one, as happens during generation of crystals. In a way, one may regard a crystal lattice structure as a picture of the mechanism within the atom itself. So as you see, this theory works well at quantum level as well as at molecular level, which makes it unique."
