"Domes are the Strongest, lightest and most efficient means of enclosing space yet known to man." Richard Buckminster Fuller.
Not only is the dome aerodynamic, but it has a dynamic center of gravity that stands strong against wind. Gravitational forces are not linear, but spherical. The Earth's center is the origin of the gravitational forces of the Earth. This dynamic is present in all of nature and is also present in the dome. It is physics, tried and tested, "Nature's own Geometry". Many progressive architects replicate nature's designs to insure structural integrity. R. Buckminster Fuller, a man ahead of his time, published the math for his geodesic dome in the early 1950's. He was immediately contacted by a German scientist who proclaimed it is the exact math found in the cell wall. Current scientists have named nano particles "Bucky Balls". Russian scientists have photos from space showing the earth as an icosahedron.
