We all know that the volume of a cube with each side = 1
is equal to 1.  That's because volume = 1^3 = 1.
 In fact, the volume of any higher dimensional hypercube
is also 1 because in any dimension n the volume = 1^n = 1.
 Example, the volume of a hypercube of 100 dimensions is
1^100 = 1.
 But what is the volume of a 100D hypersphere of radius = 1
that is inscribed within this 100D hypercube?

 Why so fucking small, when the volume of the containing hypercube
is 1.0?
 In fact, as the dimensions increase further, a hypersphere of radius=1
has a volume that approaches zero.
 How can this be?
 Consider a hypersphere of radius = 1 mile.  As the dimensions increase
the volume will approach 0 cubic miles (i.e. nothing, zip, nada).
 But the containing hypercube will always have a volume of 1 cubic mile.
  Oblinux:
 Maxima CAS was used to do the exact calculations.
 
Sounds like something one gets tempted to ask AI about it.
