Its a dekeract or 10-cube.

Nah, it's not that bad to try and understand.
Think of it this way: a point is the 0 'hypercube.' We can get a 1 hypercube by adding another 0 hypercube (point) and making a perfect matching between them (perfect matching = connect pairs of two points together for the whole graph). We have now a 1 hypercube, or what you would call a line segment.
We can make a 2 hypercube by doing the same thing with two 1 hypercubes. Take two lines, make a perfect matching between them by connecting pairs of points again. We have a 2 hypercube, or a square.
Do that again to get a cube. Do it again and things get slightly sketchy because we're now in 4 dimensions, but you have a tesseract now. Do that another 6 times and you get your dekeract.

Is there a way to zoom in on firefox, or do you have to use some other software?

Control+Upscroll is my favorite method.

yeah if you have a mac

Erm. No, we're talking about the PC. Might work with the Mac as well.

That is a cross-platform Firefox shortcut. I'm assuming you didn't even try it to see if it worked.

Ctrl-Plus

Create new bookmark. Under properties, go to the location entry field. Copy and paste the following:
javascript:(function(){%20function%20zoomImage(image,%20amt)%20{%20if(image.initialHeight%20==%20null)%20{%20/%20avoid%20accumulating%20integer-rounding%20error%20/%20image.initialHeight=image.height;%20image.initialWidth=image.width;%20image.scalingFactor=1;%20}%20image.scalingFactor*=amt;%20image.width=image.scalingFactorimage.initialWidth;%20image.height=image.scalingFactorimage.initialHeight;%20}%20var%20i,L=document.images.length;%20for%20(i=0;i<L;++i)%20zoomImage(document.images[i],%202);%20if%20(!L)%20alert(%22This%20page%20contains%20no%20images.%22);%20})();

It looks a lot like this (which I wish I understood):

I don't know what it is either, but it's an .svg image, so it's "supposed" to scale itself to the page. But it doesn't.
svg == "scaleable vector graphics"

SVG's can scale to any size. However, they may have a set "default" size that the browser will use.
3
It's not even that they "may" have, they must and always do as per the SVG standard. How else would you embed an svg in an document without explicitly specifying width and height?

Isnt it a Fractal?
