The Sierpinski Gasket: The Hole-y Grail

Also known as the Sierpinski Triangle or the Sierpinski Carpet

A mathematical marvel of infinite depth, this gasket is the perfect example of how to create a shape with an infinite amount of holes, but still somehow manage to not be a hole.

Created by the Polish mathematician Marcin Sierpinski, this gasket has been puzzling and delighting mathematicians for generations.

This shape is so complex, it's almost... not even a shape.

Try to find a point that's not a hole, we dare you.
