Following on from yesterday's post tying in the Olympic torch visit to Windsor Castle to see the Queen with Donald Trump's Scottish golf course opening, it appears that the British Israel connotations were further established with the news that Stonehenge was illuminated "into a glowing fairytale environment" "as the sun set last night". The 3-night project, named Fire Garden, was organised by French arts group, Compagnie Carabosse who, according to the BBC report , have "incorporated the points of the compass, the shadows on the stones and the sense of many souls departing."
Today, it is my understanding that the Olympic torch relay itself will join the magical fire-festivities on an off-route excursion similar to day 33-34 of the relay - Prince William's 30th birthday - where it somehow retraced it's route to return to Scotland as noted in my post Fruit for thought.

Note that back in 2009, Compagnie Carabosse organised a Hogmany "light night" in Edinburgh which went "wrong", sparks showering the Royal Mile, forcing the spectators to flee. (Bright Sparks).

It's funny how this 'three' figure comes in, incessantly.
3x24=72(0)
Three is the no. of points in the triangle; in 2-D.
To interconnect all atoms, the triangle is the the geometric figure (in 2-D) which attains this with the least amount of work/energy involved. Taken into 3-D we then get the tetrahedron - 720 degrees is the sum of the angles in a tetrahedron.

Thanks Anon2. When growing up I was "obsessed" with the number 3 and multiples thereof. (OCD ?). I also spent a lot of time at school just doodling sort of multiple-triangle structures on the back of my jotters. Never really tied up the triangles with the threes till now - but am still baffled.
cheers
Nsm,
Assume four round atom spheres of unit radius. Then assume the centres of those four atoms placed at one of the corners of a square (lying in a 2-D plane).
Then, again, assume a diamond shape (i.e. an off-set square in effect) with one of each of the atom spheres at the 'corners' of the diamond.
Now, go back to your school days (Pythagoras' theorem) and calculate the distances between all the spheres.....(Hint: the shortest distances will be found for the diamond shape).
Thus the energy conservation is inherent in this geometry....triangles and diamonds (are a girls best friend !!)
Thereafter you can advance to a cube (a 3-D square in effect) and the tetrahedron becomes apparent - Synergetics.
