The geometry of DNA: a structural revision
- critical reason & geometry applied to the Crick and Watson proposal -
The solution to the problem’s of ‘solid geometry’ wasn’t to be found until the ‘discovery’ or, should one say ‘invention’ of mathematical linear perspective during the Renaissance.
There is no doubt to my mind that had the ancient Greeks understood mathematical perspective or renaissance artists done more work in solid geometry this pentagonal proposition would either have been included or added to Euclid’s books, or at the very least woulds have been in the aether around 1953 when Crick and Watson and their tribe were trying to solve the DNA Structure.
