Awesome video!! Iāve been searching for ages for an answer to why there are only 5 Platonic solids in 3 dimensions. Not only is this the first explanation that I find instantly intuitive and concise, itās also demonstrated beautifully. The extension into the higher dimensions and reference to fewer dimensions is also a wonderful way to contextualise the whole concept of perfect solids. Thanks so much! šā¤ļø

Thank you very much, Numberphile and Carlo Sequin. I have always struggled with this level of mathematics beyond "you can't imagine a 4D shape" so I was astonished to find myself grasping the concepts (with some rewinding). Sequin's style is intuitive and captivating and I can't believe that I now have not only a page of notes, as if I were at school again, but an appreciation of the beauty and mystery of these forms. You've made my day!

14:08 is the projection that somehow really clicked with me. I felt like I "see" this and that was a huge moment of joy.
