If you are having a bad day, here's a triangle with all 90 degree angles to help distract you

We love the 270° triangle. So perfect, so even. The right equilateral triangle.

A circle inscribed in a square covers 79% of the square.

A ball inscribed in a cube fills 52% of the cube.

A 4-ball inscribed in a hypercube fills 31% of the hypercube.

A 5-ball inscribed in a 5-cube fills 16% of the 5-cube.

⋮

A 9-ball inscribed in a 9-cube fills it up less than 1% of the way, yet there’s no room to fit a second ball of the same size without intersecting the first.

⋮

In dimensions 23 and up, you can fit a little cube in the corner of the diagram, such that the cube has a larger volume than the ball!

That's especially disconcerting because the 23-cube has 8,388,608 corners. Even if you inscribe the little red cubes in all eight million corners, your big cube will still be 99.5% empty space.

One thing I love about studying math is that when you ask any fellow student or prof why they went into math we all say it’s because we find it beautiful. It’s so diametrically opposed to the opinion that everyone else has about math that it feels like some kind of virus that infects you and makes you unable to study anything else
