@AlienG A cube where each edge is cube_root(10) units long.

Hipe99

@AlienG a cube

El'endia Starman

Okay, so, let's say the tip of your index finger is the first segment. The second segment is usually about an inch long. Your 10cm^3 cube would have sides slightly less than an inch.

Alien G

@Hipe99 No a 10cm cube would be a normal cube but what about a 10cm^3 cube -.-

Anonymous

@AlienG 9-cube

I mean a side length of 10cm^3

hey all!

Alien G

@TanMath Great timing!

What does a cube with a side length of 10cm^3 look like?

@Mego or is it a 1000 * 1000 * 1000 cube?

@AlienG That's way too simple. hypercubes

TanMath

@AlienG uh... isn't it a cube with volume 1000?

Alien G

You'd think... But hypercubes (@Mego)

So then what about 10cm^4?

TanMath

@AlienG oh.. that is what we are talking about, huh?

El'endia Starman

7:05 AM

Ask pretty much any scientist and they will tell you that 10cm^3 describes a normal cube with a volume of 10 cubic centimeters.

Alien G

Nononono a cube with a side length of 10cm^3

Not a 10cm^3 cube (As I terribly stated before)

TanMath

so this would be a tesseract?

Alien G

Probably.

@TanMath A tesseract is a 4-cube

Anonymous

This would be a 9-cube

El'endia Starman

Well, actually, a cube where each edge is a cube is not a 9-cube.

A 9D hypercube has, I think, something like 72 8D hypercubes.

A tesseract has 8 normal cubes.

Alien G

Well if each unit would be cubed then... more dimensions?

El'endia Starman

A cube has 12 edges. If each edge was a cube, that'd be a 4D object.

Oh wait duh it would be a 4-cube

@AlienG You should write 10^3 cm instead of 10 cm^3

Because a 4-cube has 12 faces that are cubes

TanMath

@PhiNotPi no..

Anonymous

(I think it's 12)

Alien G

@PhiNotPi Then it would be a cube with the side length of 1000 (Too easy)

El'endia Starman

@Mego Eight, actually.

@AlienG no.. it would have volume 1000000000

Picture the stereotypical 6-square cross-shaped 2D net that you can fold up into a 3D cube. You can do the same, but one dimension higher. Ta-da, 8 cubes!

@TanMath This is that being an ass again

10^3 cm would be a side length of 1000 (volume 10^9). 10 cm^3 would be a volume 10 (side length 10^1/3). I'm not really sure which you are talking about, or if it matters.
