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!

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.
