ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pentachoron

Alright kiddo, so imagine you have a box with four corners. Now, you could draw lines connecting those corners to make a shape we call a tetrahedron - it's like a pyramid with a triangle for a base instead of a square.

But guess what? You can take that tetrahedron and stretch it out into a higher dimension, just like you can stretch a square into a cube or a triangle into a pyramid.

Now you have a pentachoron! It's a shape with five corners, and it's like a 3D version of the tetrahedron.

It might be hard to visualize what it looks like exactly, but it's a really cool mathematical shape that helps people study things in higher dimensions. So even though it sounds complicated, it's just another fun geometric puzzle to explore!
