Leaving Flatland: A Discussion About Higher Spatial Dimensions
from The Math Club · host Pete and Noah
How many dimensions does a sphere have? If you said three (like Noah did), you may be surprised to hear that you overshot. In this episode, Pete and Noah explore spatial dimensions, and use a literary classic to illustrate what it even means when mathematicians talk about spaces with more than three.
