<video><title>Secrets of Sacred Geometry: The Pentagon</title><description>Join host Sebastian Schepis as he takes you on a journey through the world of Sacred Geometry, exploring the nature of form and examining the unfolding of shape. Lets travel from the Plenum to Multiplicity, enjoying the sights.</description><transcript><transcript><line from="00:00:00,000" to="00:00:07,280">the Pentagon. The Pentagon is a five-sided polygon that holds deep mathematical and mystical</line><line from="00:00:07,280" to="00:00:14,720">significance. With its 72 degrees internal angles, the regular Pentagon achieves perfect equilibrium,</line><line from="00:00:14,720" to="00:00:21,280">maximizing enclosure while minimizing tension along its edges. The number five is responsible for</line><line from="00:00:21,280" to="00:00:27,200">the incredible variety of form that can be found in the universe. Five enables the creation of</line><line from="00:00:27,200" to="00:00:33,520">non-repeating tiling systems, also known as pen-rose tiling. This feature is used by nature</line><line from="00:00:33,520" to="00:00:39,440">to create an infinitude of patterns. The number five has cosmic resonance across cultures.</line><line from="00:00:39,440" to="00:00:45,840">There are five elements, five senses, and five platonic solids. In Fibonacci sequence,</line><line from="00:00:45,840" to="00:00:51,280">five is the number which first combines the feminine two and masculine three. Pentagon's</line><line from="00:00:51,280" to="00:00:57,280">and five-fold symmetries abound in the natural world. Flower petals often exhibit pentagonal</line><line from="00:00:57,280" to="00:01:03,680">patterning, as in roses, carnations, lilies, and morning glories. Starfish radiate with five-fold</line><line from="00:01:03,680" to="00:01:10,080">symmetry from their central axis. Even at the molecular level, five-fold symmetries dominate.</line><line from="00:01:10,080" to="00:01:16,400">The Nagyagaite crystal has five intersecting pentagonal channels, running through its atomic lattice.</line><line from="00:01:16,560" to="00:01:22,160">Five carbon ring compounds known as cyclopentanes form the basis for many biological molecules.</line><line from="00:01:22,160" to="00:01:26,960">The pentagram, with its intersecting line segments dividing a pentagon,</line><line from="00:01:26,960" to="00:01:30,800">has been used extensively in occult symbols and iconography.</line><line from="00:01:31,600" to="00:01:37,120">Pentagrams represent the four elements governed by spirit, the human body with five major</line><line from="00:01:37,120" to="00:01:44,080">extremities, and channels of magnetic transmission. Five sided shapes hold unique potential</line><line from="00:01:44,080" to="00:01:51,360">for patterning space. By combining pentagons and hexagons, architect Buckminster Fuller invented</line><line from="00:01:51,360" to="00:01:57,520">the geodesic dome, an incredibly strong and lightweight structure utilizing the triangulation</line><line from="00:01:57,520" to="00:02:03,840">of pentagonal units. The metaphysics of five underlies the intergrality of this geometrical</line><line from="00:02:03,840" to="00:02:07,040">innovation. With its implicit balance,</line><line from="00:02:07,120" to="00:02:13,760">orgenicity and cosmological echoes, the pentagon reveals deep resonances between geometry,</line><line from="00:02:13,760" to="00:02:20,000">nature, and the human experience. It's unique structural properties spring from the same geometrical</line><line from="00:02:20,000" to="00:02:24,400">intuitions with shaped flowers, molecules, and seashells.</line></transcript></transcript></video>
