- The shape is also significant mathematically. At a 1972 Pasedena mathematics conference Dr. Steven McHarty, a professor of mathematics at Princeton showed using number theory that the Wythoff Conversion allows for inverse magnitutes of infinite series. This means that there are more points along any edge than are contained within the surface area of the shape, and more points in the surface area than are contained within the volume of the object.
Do tell. What in heck are "inverse magnitutes of infinite series"? — Seems to me I read somewhere (sadly the only reference that comes to mind is fictional) that the number of points is the same in any number of dimensions. —Tamfang (talk) 07:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
