> This comic imagines an alternate reality where mathematicians discover a new Platonic solid. There are five Platonic solids, and it has been mathematically proven that there are exactly five in three-dimensional space. However, in 4 dimensions there exist 6 regular polytopes, 5 which are analogous to the 5 in 3d space, and a sixth which is analogous to the rhombic dodecahedron. In the comic, Randall proposes a new Platonic solid, called the "jorb", which appears to be a roughly conical shape with a round base, a triangular tip, and a rectangular extension at the bottom. Its surface also s…
