A Kakeya set is a set of points in a Euclidean space (typically in two or higher dimensions) that has the property that a needle, or line segment, of unit length can be rotated freely within the set without leaving it. The classic example is the Kakeya set in the plane, which can be thought of as a bounded region that can contain a unit segment that can be rotated to cover all angles.
