    viruses are not exactly like houses, they are like ...(make a poll)
    why angstroem, when we have nanometers
    why is there no structure inside the virus to stabilize the shell ? (walls,rooms in houses)
    why only icosahedrons, are dodecahedrons,... impossible in principle or were they once
    eliminated in the great intervirotic war
    how are these t=1,2,...facet-icosahedrons called in math ? I remember webpages where you can
    rotate all these shapes with the mouse , or virus-models from plastic or videos rotating them
    do viruses attach to each other to form polyicosahedra
    need an organized list of all known viruses (how many in total) with their properties and pictures
    when you say:"see here" , there is no pointer in the video
    hyperlinks to click while you talk would be nice
