Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the potential publication of an article focused on truncated octahedron formulas. Participants explore the feasibility and content scope of such an article, considering both general interest and academic contexts.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Meta-discussion
Main Points Raised
- One participant suggests that there is a lack of comprehensive content on truncated octahedron formulas and questions the usefulness of publishing an article on the subject.
- Another participant points to existing Wikipedia articles on related geometric shapes, indicating that some resources are available.
- A participant expresses interest in creating a more complete study that includes demonstrations applicable to any truncated octahedron, rather than focusing on specific measurements.
- There is a suggestion to consider writing for Physics Forums Insights as a platform for publication.
- Questions are raised regarding the motivations for publishing, the intended audience, and the prior research done to ensure the novelty and correctness of the proposed content.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants have not reached a consensus on the necessity or approach for publishing the article, and multiple viewpoints regarding the content and audience remain present.
Contextual Notes
Participants have not clarified specific assumptions regarding the definitions of truncated octahedra or the criteria for what constitutes a "complete study." There is also no resolution on the appropriateness of the suggested publication platforms.
