Gongol

[hemlo]

So in the 4th dimension they play basegongol. And footgongol too sometimes.

"Let's assume this 4D cow is a gongol..."

How are the comments earlier than the video. Tibees really has passed beyond our known dimensions

[alkemi]

Honestly, the word "Gongol" sounds to me like a place for Frodo to go on another quest

I confirm as a mathematician, that we indeed call them "n-ball" and "(n-1)-sphere" ("-1" cause, like, a circle lies in R², but it is a manifold of dimension 2-1=1). One small point tho: usually in math we call "ball" the open set, meaning the inside of a sphere without its border. We usually call "n-disk" the closure of the ball, meaning we consider the border too. In symbols: B^n for a ball, D^n for a disk, 𝕊^{n-1} for a sphere. Cool names you got there tho :)

4d Alien who's Gongol landed in my yard: "Gongol? What is that? Oh, this thing. Its true name is unpronounceable to you 3rd dimensioners"

As a mathematician, I can confirm we call them n-balls and n-spheres for dimensions greater than 3. In fact, the vast majority of the time we’ll just call them “spheres” and “balls” without the n, as a) it’s usually clear from context, and b) quite often you’re working in a non-Euclidean metric space (or less commonly, perhaps working in a Euclidean metric space with a metric other than the standard one). In these cases the “n” doesn’t really make sense. I can also say that literally nobody in the field uses or has even heard of the term “glome”, etc!

[paulpease]

I can’t stop laughing at the thought of hyperballs 😂.

[IIIUMlNATI]

Pretty sure i used one of these balls to catch mewtwo.

Gongol sounds like one of Snow-white seven dwarves 's name.

[bryanmcdermott]

I might be getting played, but this sounds good so I'm buying it.

[BeneficenceTV]

The properties of a hypersphere can also be mapped onto a torus shape as well like Marlo Rodin did with vortex math.

[Aaaaaaarrrpirate]

Every day I grow more convinced that mathematicians invented the fourth dimension because they were jealous of other scientists being able to name things whatever they want.

[HyperCubist]

I had heard of glome before, but not gongol. Very cool!

[spectartacus]

I believe we're living in a Gongol passing through 3D space. This explains why we're seeing the expansion of the universe. The space inside is getting bigger to our astonishment, just like how 2D creatures might think their universe is expanding when a ball passes through their 2D space. Oh, and just wait until it begins to shrink as the Gongol passes the halfway point 😨.

When Apple advances their homepod mini to the next dimension, they'll probably abstract out the Bluetooth, so you'll need a dongle for the gongol.

[Hyperballs: Insert obligatory Pokémon reference here.]

[arci]

Thank you. When I procrastinate your shorts help me refocus on my studies.

[Dingusmaningus]

I personally call a 4d ball a florghobbert.

[coolfreaks]

*Man has balls.*
*God has Gongols.* 😂
