Complex Problem - Conceptualization, UFO..No?

.

Once again, my preliminary research emphasizes that because of religious inclinations of the day, Plato's work was pushed aside and Aristotle's was embraced. But in fact, it turns out that Plato's 'mystical' direction has proven more correct:

"It is noteworthy that Plato's theory has a very modern flavor, with mathematically defined, transmutable atoms. The theory misses its target, since Plato didn't have a clue about the modern chemical elements, and atoms do not have such geometrical structures. Nevertheless, he was not so far off the mark, and we only have to shift our aim slightly, to the crystaline packings of atoms, to find the appropriate modern applications of Plato's geometry. Aristotle, by contrast, has a completely archaic theory which looks back to the theories about opposites of Anaximander, Heraclitus, and the Pythagoreans. It is of no use whatsoever today.

We should ask why Plato's theory is so progressive, why Aristotle's is so archaic, and why Plato is usually given so little credit for his theory. The answer to all these is the same: Plato comes up with this kind of theory because of his Pythagorean faith that mathematics would reveal the structure of the world. Aristotle had no such faith, regarding mathematics only as a calculating device (the common opinion in the Middle Ages). In turn, Plato is usually overlooked by down-to-earth philosophers and historians of science because his Pythagorean number mysticism seems to them of a piece with the rest of his philosophy, which they regard as, in general, an unscientific mysticism unworthy of consideration.

Yet modern science, which is distinctively mathematical (sometimes excessively so), was set on its way by just those scientists, like Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler, who shared Plato's mystical faith in mathematics. That is the most conspicuous in Kepler, whose flights of fancy, which included a science fiction book about life on the Moon (the Somnium or "Dream"), are found together with the most serious, hard mathematical breakthrough in the formulation of modern astronomy short of Isaac Newton's own theory of universal gravitation: Kepler's Three Laws of planetary motion. Philosophers of science overlook this circumstance, as they do the Platonic Realism of most practicing mathematicians. Since many Modern philosophers would rather avoid the metaphysical challenge that would result, they tend to agree with Aristotle that mathematics is a human invention that coincidentally happens to apply to Nature. With their attitude, indeed, science never would have come out of the Middle Ages."

I am slighly visually dyslexic, but wonder, if this figure were rotated at the proper angle, would there be the two opposing triangles? This is from Plato's work. Plato is our guy...I will try to do more research tomorrow.

I'm not sure what happened with the small image above...but if you drag across it, it appears. I don't know how to fix it. Sorry
