It depends upon what metric you use to measure it.

Of course with Euclidean it will as that seems to match our expectations for low dimensional space.

I'm not a mathematician so there is not much more that I could say on the matter at this juncture.

The volume of an n-ball has been calculated for other non-Euclidean distances.

For p goes to infinity, the unit "ball" becomes a "cube" of two units wide per side.

Many thanks, I've been wondering about this one for quite a while. <3 :))))
