You eat this mandelbrot set right now mister or theres no desert for you!
But infinite recursion hurts my tummy
Fair point, you can’t take a stance that’s too one-sided
I drink my whiskey straight from the Klein bottle.
Wasn’t there a paper finding there are four possible klein flask orientations or something?
Yeah but it was written on a Möbius strip and we’re still not sure where the beginning and where the end was.
ETA: the paper https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~sequin/PAPERS/2013_JMA_Klein-bottles.pdf
I’ve seen this meme a couple times in my life, and never understood what “non-orientable” means. The word seems to imply the shape can’t be oriented, i.e. rotated in space, which a klein bottle certainly could be right?
Can somebody explain?
If you follow the surface with your finger, starting from the outside, you can end up on the inside, without traversing the surface. There is only one surface, no concept of outside or inside, contrary to a good old cube for instance.
Similar to a Moebius strip but with a higher dimension. A MS is easier to understand since you can easily make one to try to run your finger on the surface and end up anywhere.
