When the number of dimensions increases, there's more and more space around the cone, so its volume would go to zero if the volume of the hypercube stays constant. It would become a needle.

But spaces with infinite dimensions are difficult. They are usually required to have a finite norm for all points. Idk how that would affect volume.



I explained above what happens when the dimension grows - spheres and cones do indeed take up a smaller and smaller portion of their unit cube, eventually having negligible volume. This is important in the context of high-dimensional statistics and so on.

If you want to actually have infinite-dimensional volumes, you can't just assign finite values to them in a simple way, or you will have contradictions such as a certain volume being completely covered by a union of things which have 0 volume. In infinite dimensions, you instead have various measures like the Gaussian measure. Feynman's path integrals are a kind of way to assign a value - called amplitude - to an infinite-dimensional manifold (a kind of "volume") of paths. But that takes us well to the side of the idea of the ratio between cube and inscribed figure volumes.


Wouldn't this be just continuation of the fact that 2-dimentional shapes have 0 volume? Or are you talking about hypercones ?
