"Epsilon" with its undulating symmetry is the fifth porcelain buckyball of the Presentation Series. It was presented to E.J. Applewhite on June 20, 1997. Applewhite, known best for his longtime collaboration with Buckminster Fuller on his magnum opus, Synergetics and Synergetics 2, is an author and "professional layman" living in Washington D.C. Applewhite retired in 1970 from 25 years as Deputy Inspector General for the C.I.A. His last 27 years have been devoted to writing, scientific inquiry and exploration. His collaboration with Fuller on the two main volumes of his synergetic geometry was documented in his engaging book, Cosmic Fishing, followed by four massive volumes of the Synergetics Dictionary. Other books and articles by Applewhite include a delightful insider's tour of America's Capital City in Washington Itself and a thought-provoking journey into the scientific definition of life and death in Paradise Mislaid - Birth, Death, and the Human Predicament of Being Biological. He is now spearheading a project to produce the first hyperlinked digital version of Synergetics and Synergetics 2. Return to Presentation Series Introduction Page
