    I know how to solve this, but my solution only works for spherical cubes in a vacuum.

    Is cube a simple shape in physics? It’ 3-dimensional and It’s gonna do all sort of crazy flips due to aerodynamics and moment of inertia. I would prefer a 1-dimensional point like cat.

      How would a point like cat be one dimensional? It would be zero dimensional. A one dimensional cat would be a line.

    I prefer ‘cubiform’, but I never realized that cubicle could be an adjective.

    TIL that cubicle is an adjective and a noun. I was calling things “cube like” until now

      Cubicle is the noun (mini office); cubical is the adjective (having cube-like properties). :)

    There was a newspaper article about flying cats, where journalists assumed them flat and rectangular to simplify calculations
