What is mindlbowing to me is that all this work on geometry was initially done when there was absolutely no concept of atomic particles, and very little real representation in "visible" nature. Then hundreds of years later we started to look at macromolecules and found their assembly states often are perfect, or near-perfect representations of platonic solids, such as icosahedral viruses, octohedral and tetrahedral iron storage proteins, etc.
