Ah. I really should write that up. Far too long to explain in a comment here, far to interesting (to me!) to forget or ignore. I'll write it up and submit it

Ah. I really should write that up. Far too long to explain in a comment here, far to interesting (to me!) to forget or ignore.
I'll write it up and submit it. Anyone who cares to email me can get an early version to read, and your feedback would be useful.
Please.
Thanks.
- orangecat 16y agoPlease do. My guess would be similar to Zaak's: the n-dimensional volume of an n-dimensional hypersphere approaches 0 as n approaches infinity. (http://www.mathreference.com/ca-int,hsp.html http://www.mathreference.com/ca-int,hsp.html). A hypersphere with radius 1 centered at the origin has to get out to 1 along each axis (e.g. x=1, y=z=0 for a 3 dimensional sphere), and in order for that not to contribute much volume, it has to be a narrow spike rather than a gradual curve.
