Abstract
The Periodic Table of the Polyhedral Universe is a tabular arrangement of all known and hypothetical polyhedra*, which comply with the celebrated Euler’s formula of V-E+F=2(1−g), where V;E;F and g stand for vertices, edges, faces and genus of the 2-manifold, respectively, with K=2(1−g) as the Euler characteristic of 2-manifold surfaces in 3-D space.
