B. R. Fuller begins his lecture by referring to his service in US Navy and the difference of space perception in the sea and on land. He also refers to his childhood in Massachusetts and the limited opportunities on education children had in contrast with those offered today, after technological development and changes following World War I.
He goes on talking about his love of mathematics, especially geometry, and he elaborates his theory about the existence of straight lines in nature. With the use of examples, he attempts to show the audience that in nature there exist no straight lines.
In the end of the lecture he speaks of the smallest units of matter and how these interact. |
