Waterman Polyhedron
In geometry, the Waterman polyhedra are a family of polyhedra discovered around 1990 by the mathematician Steve Waterman. A Waterman polyhedron is created by packing spheres according to the cubic close(st) packing (CCP), also known as the face-centered cubic (fcc) packing, then sweeping away the spheres that are farther from the center than a defined radius, then creating the convex hull of the sphere centers. Image:Waterman_Packed_Spheres_0024.1.png, Cubic Close(st) Packed spheres with radius Image:Waterman_0024.1.png, Corresponding Waterman polyhedron W24 Origin 1 Waterman polyhedra form a vast family of polyhedra. Some of them have a number of nice properties such as multiple symmetries, or interesting and regular shapes. Others are just a collection of faces formed from irregular convex polygons. The most popular Waterman polyhedra are those with centers at the point (0,0,0) and built out of hundreds of polygons. Such polyhedra resemble spheres. In fact, the more f ...
