Not that coincidental. tom7 is mentioned in the article itself, and in his video's heartbreaking conclusion, he mentions the work presented in the article at the end. tom7 was working on proving the same thing!
- cubefox 1y agoAnd he tried to disprove the general conjecture, that every convex polyhedron has the Rupert property, by proving that the snub cube [1] doesn't have it. Which is an Archimedean solid and a much more "natural" shape than the Noperthedron, which was specifically constructed for the proof. (It might even be the "simplest" complex polyhedron without the property?) So if he proves that the snub cube doesn't have the Rupert property, he could still be the first to prove that not all Archimedean solids have it. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snub_cube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snub_cube
