Muons are the particle of the future.

Next, maybe they c an look around inside ScanPyramids' Big Void with WiFi.

Which platonic solid has the least surface area for a given volume?

Looking for 'sphere' but perhaps that is not a platonic solid and ChatGPT might start calculating Pi.  Does it phone home if it doesn't know the answer?

postulate a possible connection between quantum mechanics and gravity

Quantum mechanics and gravity are currently two of the most successful theories in physics, but they are not yet fully reconciled. One approach to connecting them is through quantum field theory in curved spacetime, which attempts to describe the interactions of quantum fields with the gravitational field described by general relativity. Another approach is through the idea of quantum gravity, which attempts to develop a theory of gravity that is consistent with the principles of quantum mechanics. Currently, there is no widely accepted theory of quantum gravity, but several theories have been proposed, including string theory and loop quantum gravity. Further experimental and theoretical work is needed to determine the connection between quantum mechanics and gravity.

Closer to a sphere than a tetrahedron, certainly.

It was funny, there was an article talking about moving more power to the 'edge' instead of keeping it in the clouds, such as for things like facial recognition.  Doing it locally.  It always seemed like most processing should be local, except for maybe the Niagara Falls of data processing, or surfing the web.
