120 Cell
  • The 4-D equivalent of the dodecahedron
  • Known as a hecatonicosachoron
  • 120 dodecahedral cells, 720 five sided faces, 1200 edges, and 600 vertices
This pictures appears to be a ball of many dodecahedrons. Notice how the fourth dimension distorts the 3-D dodecahedral cells, especially the ones near the edge. Imagine a 2-D sheet of paper (it has no thickness), if turned on its side, it will seem to disappear; the same thing is going on here.
