12X is a mathematical principle which describes the relationshipbetween the volume and the area as a shape's size increases ordecreases. It was first described in 1638 by Galileo Galilei in his"Two New Sciences". This principle states that, 'as a shape growsin size, its volume grows faster than its area'.

When applied to the real world this principle has manyimplications which are important in fields ranging frommechanical engineering to biomechanics. It helps explainphenomena including why large mammals like elephants have aharder time cooling themselves than small ones like mice.
