In the search for truth, you sometimes come across answers that seem impossible to believe.

In the search for truth, you sometimes come across answers that seem impossible to believe. Can that really be true? Infinity is one such concept. The universe may be infinite, and there is no such thing as a final number… Can you imagine what that means?

Mathematics is full of ideas like these that challenge our intuition. Come and build one yourself! A kaleidocycle is a continuously rotating mathematical shape—essentially a fascinating fidget toy. Once you start turning it, you won’t want to put it down.
