> The result, when projected in two dimensions no longer appears convex, however all hypercubes are convex. This is part of the strangeness of higher dimensions - hypercubes are both convex and “pointy.”
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoIsn't it more accurate to say that hypercubes are convex and their projections are pointy?

- kgwgk 5y agoYes. Hence the quotes, I guess. But hyperspheres are convex and their projections are also convex. So it's not really appropriate either to say that they are "spiky" as in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29969613 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29969613
