Included in the analyses is the development of conditions under which a three-dimensional star can be constructed merely by appropriately folding a plane sheet of paper. A very intriguing aspect of the overall geometric features is that the golden ratio or golden section appears at certain points in the relationships. Many other geometric aspects are explored. Principles of physics are used in analyzing the passage of light through solid star bodies composed of materials such as glass, diamond, etc. Many amazing features are revealed regarding the calculated paths of light beams traversing solid star-shaped bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e: I retired after 38 years with Honeywell Federal Manufacturing and Technology, in Kansas City, MO, and a little later returned to Honeywell for 4 additional years on a consultant type basis. Most all the work was proprietary but I was able to publish a few papers in the open literature. In the cover letter accompanying the manuscript I attached some notes about this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 10, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629245804765,"sku":"9781543425512","price":64.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/loicN6q8VO9781543425512.webp?v=1789793499","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/star-figures-plane-and-three-dimensional-with-physical-applications-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
