Electrons are perfectly spherical

—The nucleus exerts equal force on each electron. The electrons arrange in a sphere so that they all remain equidistant from the nucleus. My interest in spherical houses jumped from the aesthetic to the practical when I learned about its structural stability.  

This I understand comes from the fact that a sphere distributes any stress it receives evenly throughout the whole surface. The recent Haitian earthquake brought me back to the functional aspect of the process.  I knew how to build a sphere with ferro cement. 3D printers are also doing it.  

But I wanted a process that someone with little resources could use to build a house for their family that was safe from Earthquakes. 

The question for google was: how to divide up a sphere into equal units? An Astrophysicist had a site in which that question was answered. He used it as a grid to observe the universe. However, we seemed to speak different languages and I could not take out anything of value from his mathematical equations. Now that I knew it was possible I decided to ask the help of a brilliant computer modeler, who could understand the math. I had written the email, but had not sent it off, when on a Toronto Streetcar, the whole solution came up. It was so simple.
