After retiring as a teacher at age 60, Frank Chester was still so curious about life that he decided to go back to college. There, he heard about the famous Platonic solids for the first time in his life.
He was so inspired by what he learned that he spent months trying to find a special form. What he discovered was nature's blueprint for the human heart.
Over the last 20+ years, he has researched the seven-sided form he named Chesterhedron. To this day, he discovers how this form appears in nature. You may have heard about the idea that 'our' planet Earth is a living being. For some, that sounds metaphorical; for others, it is their spiritual conviction.
We love science, especially when science and spirituality come together to paint a bigger picture than either of those worldviews individually can.
Here are Frank's philosophical insights into the connection between the human heart and Earth, based on the geometry of the heart he studied for 20 years.
Some experts think what he found might earn him a Nobel prize someday.

Frank's work inspired an illustrious person so much that he built a 20-foot-high representation of the form Frank discovered at the Burningman festival.
