In four dimensional geometry, a 16-cell, is a regular convex polychoron, or polytope existing in four dimensions. It is also known as the hexadecachoron. It is one of the six regular convex polychora first described by the Swiss mathematician Ludwig Schläfli in the mid-19th century.
Conway calls it an orthoplex for orthant complex, as well as the entire class of cross-polytopes.

A: The 16-cell can exist in four dimensions.
A: The 16-cell is a regular convex polychoron, which means it has a well-defined, symmetric shape with flat faces and straight edges.
