What an amazing article. It is fairly easy to understand. It seems they are finally recognizing the need to look at reality differently than just merely space/time/gravity.

this is probably as close one can get between Science and Spirituality,
after this we will finally surpass this duality.
the Fiery Spiritual Atom which is the quantum vortex which draws matter to form the body sheath of a human being (and all beings for that matter), and is located in the center of the chest, the Diamond Heart, probably looks like this

A Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics

Physicists have discovered a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of reality.

“This is completely new and very much simpler than anything that has been done before,” said Andrew Hodges, a mathematical physicist at Oxford University who has been following the work.

The revelation that particle interactions, the most basic events in nature, may be consequences of geometry significantly advances a decades-long effort to reformulate quantum field theory, the body of laws describing elementary particles and their interactions. Interactions that were previously calculated with mathematical formulas thousands of terms long can now be described by computing the volume of the corresponding jewel-like “amplituhedron,” which yields an equivalent one-term expression.

“The degree of efficiency is mind-boggling,” said Jacob Bourjaily, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University and one of the researchers who developed the new idea. “You can easily do, on paper, computations that were infeasible even with a computer before.”

Ah this thing

It resonates (get it?) strikingly well with pythagorean views on sacred geometry, and plato's idea that the smallest indivisible object must be a kind of triangle.
 
There is a guy who did a PhD in Physics but now surfs in Hawaii who is also looking at a pure geometric-based approach.

This does not seem to be one of the 5 Platonic solids.

If in a general sense you mean that Plato believed that mathematical abstractions exist in reality and are not just an idealized concept in our heads, then this can be part of the discussion, yes.

People seem to be desperate to believe that "old is gold." It is not so.
 
Does the OP think the geometric depiction is supposed to represent an actual object??!! It is of course merely a way to try to represent a series of equations that are interrelated, a fiction similar to the old "cube inside a cube" years ago that was used to try to give an image to the concept of four dimensions.

Went through the article and the presentation. I'll start looking at the paper. He presents things starting from a basic level, so I can understand it up to a point, though I wish I could remember more of my math. I sent the links to my son who should be able to give a more informed viewpoint.
Looks like a very sweet way of modeling things and perhaps a way to extend experimental data to a more general scale.
 
OP, once again, you don't really know what you posted. This is not a physical object in any sense nor does spirituality have anything to do with it. It is merely a different way to represent large equations with shapes instead of numbers, variables, and operators.
 
Yup, nothing to do with spirituality but that will not prevent someone from claiming so. Crystals have been linked with claims of supernatural powers forever. "Pure" crystals with more of these powers, as if their optical properties have anything to do with being able to heal tumors with their "healing energies."
