Geometry Reveals How the World Is Made of Cubes

At first, “everything seemed to work,” Jerolmack said. Domokos’ mathematics had predicted that rock shards should average out to cubes. An increasing number of actual rock shards seemed happy to comply. But Jerolmack soon realized that proving the theory would require confronting rule-breaking cases, too. After all, the same geometry offered a vocabulary to describe […]
