Product Description
This design was commissioned by a friend, who was puzzled by the question: everyone seems to be able to fit a sphere inside a cube, but how do you fit a cube into a sphere (so that it is precisely inscribed with the corners touching the sphere surface)? My friend explained that he wanted to fit a box inside the universe, not the universe inside a box! The mathematical amongst you might be able to verify that a factor of sqrt(3) is involved, from Pythagoras in 3 dimensions. You can find out more about my friend's project through his blog, here: https://thecathedraltimes.wordpress.com/ . If you wish to 3d print this, I suggest you go for transparent acrylic or you won't see a great deal. At a later date I might do one that comes apart and shows the cube inside, but this is my first design, so bear with me.
