Does there exists a smooth reflexive infinite dimensional Banach space that is not strictly convex
It is known that in a reflexive Banach space, if the norm is strictly convex, then its dual will be smooth Banach space, and if the norm is smooth, then the dual norm is strictly convex.
We can find ...

For a Banach space $X$, can we find a reflexive (or weakly sequentially complete) space $Y$ such that $X\subset Y$?
It could be a naive question. Probably, it is not true.
However, this question makes sense in the setting of function spaces.
For example, for $L_\infty (0,1)$, we have $L_p(0,1)\supset L_\infty (0,1)$...
