Summary
editDescriptionPhilosopher's star - magic star and magic square Lo Shu.jpg |
English: It's possible to build a magical 5-pointed star using 9 consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression and repeating only the central term (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,7,8,9). This construction is closely related to the magic square of order 3 (Lo Shu - Luo Shu or Saturn magic square), and has been named "Philosopher's Star", as it was inspired by alchemic emblems like the "Senior Adolphus".

Esta construcción está íntimamente relacionada con el cuadrado mágico de orden 3 (Lo Shu - Luo Shu o cuadrado mágico de Saturno), y ha sido denominada "Estrella Filosofal", ya que su descubrimiento se ha inspirado en emblemas alquímicos como el "Senior Adolphus".
