As we zoom deeper into this mysterious mathematical construct, we unravel the birth of new shapes, growing proportionally over time according to the augmentation of the sea level from January 1993 to April 2018.

If it doesn’t seem big, imagine what would our borders look like in a thousand years. Countries, as we know them, would be reshaped into something completely different, with fishing zones located in our countryside. If so, it would also mean that cities near the coast would be submerged under several meters of water, deep into the sea...
