      In 1953, \textit{V. Thébault} [``Problem 4530'', Am. Math. Mon. 60, 193 (1953)] made a conjecture that linking the radical center of four spheres with other elements of a tetrahedron. The conjecture was proved in 2015 by one of the authors. In the present paper, the authors generalize this and prove it for the \(n\)-simplex.\N\NOn the other hand, the same authors proved in 2022 a result similar to Thébault's which links the radical center of four spheres with the insphere and the Monge point of a tetrahedron and made, as a conjecture, a generalization of it to the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space. In the present paper, the authors prove this conjecture and find new properties of the Monge point of the \(n\)-dimensional simplex.\N\NThe approaches use classical techniques of linear algebra.\N\NThe paper ends with the statement of two conjectures that generalize the main theorems using inversion.
