Abstrakt: Bellow theorem says that any polyhedron with rigid faces cannot change its volume even if it is flexible. The problem on continuous flattenig of polyhedra with non-rigid faces proposed by Demaine et al. was solved for all convex polyhedra by using the notion of moving creases to change some of the faces. This problem was extended to a problem on continuous flattening of the 2-dimensional skeleton of higher dimensional polytopes. This problem was solved for all regular polytopes except three types, the 24-cell, the 120-cell, and the 600-cell. This article addresses the 24-cell and gives a continuous flattening motion for its 2-skeleton, which is related to the Jitterbug by Buckminster Fuller. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
