while it is possible for these sets to have zero three-dimensional volume, they must nonetheless be three-dimensional.

Of course.

I think sometimes people learn so much math they can’t think straight.

Obviously, since a line segment only has one dimension, it doesn’t matter how small the area is, you can still rotate it 180° on a plane just fine.

And to think I solved that without using a single equation!

Why not a sphere as defining?

This conjecture explores the minimal space required for a needle, or line segment, to point in every direction within a given space.
= = =

So, maybe a needle, or line segment is minimal length of two points long.

Sounds like it needs 2 points cubed space.

Maybe with pi in there somewhere. Probably is a sphere, not a cube.

That has only taken me over seven decades to solve.

If it doesn’t have a practical application, it’s just useless knowledge.

I had that figured out to within a half inch.,,,,

Math is a wonderful thing it help many California drives pass the test.

3R = 1L

3 right turns equal on left turn
