Imagine a 3 dimensional cube spinning at a collassal speed, could this appear oval or globe like?

anyone know?

yes and no

a 3d cube will not show a globe or oval formation if you spin it in only one direction...there are not enough angles to complete a full sphere no matter how you spin in it.

however, if you turn it and spin it so that the entire peice is constantly moving in a new direction it will eventually show spherical properties as you reach a certain rotational speed.

Fast enough, yeah it will become round

I was thinking spinning fast enough it could create a double vortex..................

Well.............maybe that is a pyramid.................

According to a thought experiment I just had (and I am not Einstein) you would see a circle within a circle. The larger circle being equal to the circle that you would draw that would touch the four corners of the cube on the outside and the smaller circle would be that which you could fit inside 'the box' of the cube.

If I knew how to draw a diagram on here I would.
