I was talking to my physics lecturer on the subject of platonic forms after a talk on how atomic arrangements make specific unit cells in crystal growth. He believes that objectively these atomic arrangements have no shapes, if we consider stuff like wavefunction we can't really apply a concievable shape so we simply go for what we think they may look like. It doesn't take away the reality of the equation.

I also found a site on zero ontology. The text is full of philosophical jargon but it throws up interesting ideas about zero, non-spatial/temporal existences etc. This site overviews it better perhaps.
