Talk:Star of David theorem

[Untitled]
So, for us non-math-experts: could someone please add a section describing the practical use of this theorem? Thanks in advance! 97.104.252.47 (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * (I'm trying to decide if I qualify as a "non-math-expert":Carleton (the Minnnesota one) said I would have had to stay for a fourth year, to major in both math and physics: you couldn't consolidate (majorify?) two fields properly in the same year, so officially I'm a "physics expert", and a "non-math-expert".) This theorem wasn't in my curriculum or independent study, so i guess mebbe that when Andrew Grove advised me that he couldn't make out the "good engineer" he sensed "in there somewhere", he was onto something. But that's not what I'm getting at.  I'm pushing 5 decades of consolidating my math education, and I'm just getting around to awareness of this math wonder! More to the point, our colleague has deftly highlighted the failure of the article to motivate the material. A lot of worthwhile math is more about the inevitability of math than how to use it. There's a good chance that this one is a case of the kind of bizarre generalizations of the dumb-as-dirt concept of symmetry: our universe, and especially the matter/energy that we are made of and aware of, are fairy castles of symmetry relations, and the spirals that sunflower seeds form are examples of the only magic that exist outside our self-indulgent fantasies, religions, and other order-worship-ful games. --JerzyA (talk) 18:26, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
