My 2012 prophecy is of the type made of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, love, steve-fly.

"The structure of C60 is a [|truncated (T = 3) icosahedron], which resembles an [|association football ball] of the type made of **twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons**, with a carbon atom at the vertices of each polygon and a bond along each polygon edge. []



"In [|geometry], the **triangular tiling** is one of the three regular [|tilings] of the [|Euclidean plane]. Because the internal angle of the equilateral triangle is 60 degrees, six triangles at a point occupy a full 360 degrees. The triangular tiling has [|Schläfli symbol] of {3,6}. []

The structure of a buckminsterfullerene is a [|truncated icosahedron] made of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons, with a carbon atom at the vertices of each polygon and a bond along each polygon edge. The [|van der Waals diameter] of a C60 molecule is about 1.01 [|nanometer] (nm). The nucleus to nucleus diameter of a C60 molecule is about 0.71 nm. The C60 molecule has two bond lengths. The 6:6 ring bonds (between two hexagons) can be considered "[|double bonds]" and are shorter than the 6:5 bonds (between a hexagon and a pentagon).



In [|geometry], the **truncated [|icosahedron]** is an [|Archimedean solid], one of thirteen convex [|isogonal] nonprismatic solids whose [|faces] are two or more types of [|regular polygon]. It has 12 regular [|pentagonal] faces, 20 regular [|hexagonal] faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges. []



A **hexagram** (Greek) or **sexagram** (Latin) is a six-pointed geometric [|star figure], {6/2} or 2{3}, the compound of two [|equilateral] [|triangles]. The intersection is a regular [|hexagon].

English author, philosopher and [|occultist] [|Aleister Crowley's]adaptation of the unicursal hexagram placed a five-petaled rose (symbolizing the Divine), in the center, the symbol as a whole making eleven (five petals of the rose plus six points of the hexagram), thought by some as the number of divine union.--[]



A **pentagram** (sometimes known as a **pentalpha** or **pentangle** or, more formally, as a **[|star pentagon]**) is the shape of a [|five-pointed star] drawn with five straight strokes. []





The circle around a pentagram (transforming it in to a pentacle) is a symbol of "unity, **wholeness**, infinity, the goddess, and protection. To earth-centered religions throughout history as well as to many contemporary pagans, it represents the feminine spirit or force, the cosmos or a spiritualism Mother Earth, and a sacred space."[//[|citation needed]//] The five-pointed star is representative of the four primal elements (earth, air, fire and water,) and traditionally a fifth, called spirit. The circle binds them together to create life. When pointing up, the pentagram can represent spirituality's dominance over the material (pentagram) bound inside the laws of the cosmos (circle). []

In 2010, fullerenes (C60) have been discovered in a cloud of cosmic dust surrounding a distant star 6500 light years away. Using NASA's [|Spitzer] infrared telescope the scientists spotted the molecules' unmistakable infrared signature. Sir Harry Kroto, who shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of buckyballs commented: "This most exciting breakthrough provides convincing evidence that the buckyball has, as I long suspected, existed since time immemorial in the dark recesses of our galaxy."

Since the discovery of fullerenes in 1985, structural variations on fullerenes have evolved well beyond the individual clusters themselves. Examples include:[|[][|15][|]] > []
 * **buckyball clusters**: smallest member is C20 (unsaturated version of [|dodecahedrane]) and the most common is C60 ;
 * **nanotubes**: hollow tubes of very small dimensions, having single or multiple walls; potential applications in electronics industry;
 * **megatubes**: larger in diameter than nanotubes and prepared with walls of different thickness; potentially used for the transport of a variety of molecules of different sizes;[|[][|16][|]]
 * **polymers**: chain, two-dimensional and three-dimensional polymers are formed under high pressure high temperature conditions
 * **nano"onions"**: spherical particles based on multiple carbon layers surrounding a buckyball core; proposed for lubricants;[|[][|17][|]]
 * **linked "ball-and-chain" dimers**: two buckyballs linked by a carbon chain;[|[][|18][|]]
 * **fullerene rings**.[|[][|19][|]]

Buckminsterfullerene is the smallest fullerene molecule in which no two pentagons share an edge (which can be destabilizing, as in [|pentalene]). It is also the most common in terms of natural occurrence, as it can often be found in [|soot]. The structure of C60 is a [|truncated (T = 3) icosahedron], which resembles an [|association football ball] of the type made of **twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons**, with a carbon atom at the vertices of each polygon and a bond along each polygon edge.
