Unfortunately, the volume of the dodecahedron formed by
unfolding a cube as in the University of Ghent animation above
is not double that of the cube, since refolding the cube leaves
an empty space inside … not shown in the Ghent animation.
But taking six congruent square pyramids that form a cube and using
them to cover the faces of a second, congruent, cube yields a
rhombic dodecahedron. This does offer a sort of solution to the
Delian problem… provided the new rhombic-dodecahedral altar is
found to be fit for ceremonial use. See . . .

A synchronology check of the date June 7, 2023, in this journal yields
an account of a sin allegedly committed by author Susan Sontag . . .
A biographer accuses her of falsifying, by two years, the date of a
meeting with Thomas Mann in his Pacific Palisades home. There may,
of course, have been more than one such meeting — once in 1947,
as described much later in detail by Sontag in a New Yorker piece, and
again in 1949, as noted privately at the time by Sontag in her journal
and by Mann himself in his diary. But the thoroughness of the biographer's
research makes this seem unlikely.
