gollark: Computational physical geometry is a cutting-edge field, and observation of the fundamental properties of shapes can only really be done indirectly with significant error.
gollark: You're never really "certain" of anything.

gollark: Obelisks are cuboids, the artifact of apiocity (class μ-23) is a sphere.
gollark: Fun fact: the auction is not actually for an obelisk so this is irrelevant.
