He makes me unhappy. Mostly because I cant relate to his levels of unironic joy and enthusiasm for life. However, I believe it is an act for the purpose of making educational youtube videos more engaging, so every cloud.
I’m a proud owner of one of this man’s klein bottles. I ordered one in 2012. This is still to this one one of my favorite items in my possession. The order confirmation I received was one of the best I ever received. Just made my day, with pictures of the klein bottle being packaged and carefully wrapped into bubblewrap. I have kept everything, the papers he sent with Acme literature, invoice, and topological propaganda (using his own words) and the little white package with a smiley glass written on it. I love my klein bottle !
+Alex24757 I can't get enough of this guy. Actually bought a Klein bottle off him and made the mistake of filling it with wine. Really hard to clean, even with a magnet. Just noticed that the Mathologer channel also just posted a video on cutting Klein bottles into crazy topological musical instruments. Not sure who is more eccentric.
Richard Jones His goal of working with Klein bottles may be the same, but how many people do you know, who would hook up an Arduino to an eletric drill, to make sure a diamond saw cuts evenly through glass?
I have a cs professor who gets pretty excited sometimes. It normally requires a creative, unexpected, eloquent solution in code. Nothing like this guy though lol
Unfortunately even great teachers or fun people like this guy can't make all parts of math (or any subject) interesting. When you're taking a 14 week 4 credit course or whatever, there's probably only gonna be a few classes worth of stuff that can be made as interesting as the math videos people watch for fun on TH-cam. There's a whole lot of less interesting background info that's a lot more important to learn if you're actually going to use that level of math in some way
Actually a lot of people do. They're not super expensive or anything, they're just blades tipped with bits of diamond scrap, super useful for a lot of things.
Cliff builds these little machines that, to most of us, are so spectacular and ingenious...but he does it just as little steps along the way in his various Klein Bottle endeavors. His TRUE passion...
+llgla Two of my favorite public speakers and fabricators in the world. If someone got them together for a day and just filmed what they did, I would absolutely watch it.
I don't think Adam would have access to C4 any more. Unless he knows someone who knows someone who is willing to do it for him . That's only my theory. Anything could happen.
I've had teachers that made learning mathematics fun and exciting, and some that were pretty boring. On my experienced scale of 1-10, Cliff Stoll is at an 11. He makes me want to go back to school to learn more. But not just from any teacher: just him. I only hope I can inspire excitement of mathematics in my students the way Cliff does in these videos.
i love just how the klein bottle is so nicely made and he's cutting apart with a contraption that's almost literally held together by string. it's actually amazing.
sure you can, inhale through the bottom, modify it so it suits the mouth a bit more, pour water through it, drill a hole in the side, put the holder for the weed, and you got yourself an upside down klein bottle bong. The bend will have to be made as more of a pit so it holds the water without it acting like a straw I assume
Dude reminds me of a doctors sues character When you cut a Klein bottle in half You can easily do the math Two Mobious loops No longer in a group It is easily define One continuous line I know the bars don't flow right.
This man has truly put his life to something beautiful. The passion, the excitement, the happiness... Everyone should find what they love and put their entire life to it.
Some people call that dude crazy, but his passion for cool shaped bottles just radiates positive energy to him and everyone watching! I bet if you were pissed off, and you watched this guy, I bet you aren't pissed off anymore! What do you say we rename Klein Bottles to Stoll Bottles!
+cr0nosphere He's not off his rocker. He just converted his rocker into a musical instrument Dr. Seuss would be proud of, which also functions as a snowmobile.
That's awesome! And it's fantastic that this man is so excited by these things he knows that it's like a kindergartner playing some game for the first time. It seems that most old people are tired of life. I don't blame them. Life can get you down. But not this guy.
This guy makes you feel happy because that wonderful fascination and appreciation for how reality is that he has, that its contagious because it has a natural cause that we all can perceive. This fascination and appreciation makes you HAPPY because makes you love the reality you,re in
The more videos of Cliff that I see, the more I just can't help but love him. He's the very image of the kooky, fun, friendly science professor, and I wish there were more people like him.
He has a thousand Klein bottles under his house. He is... the most interested man in the world. "I don't always wear hats, but when I do, I prefer non-orientable ones." "Stay four-dimensional, my friends." Seriously, Cliff is just so damn enthusiastic, it amuses me every time.
Ack, I want to watch him cut a camera in half but I can't click the video link in android, and the link isn't in the description! Anyone help me out with the link?
I don't know why but this guy makes me oddly happy
same.
Because he shows passion at what he does.
Exactly, it's just pure joy from maths!

Does it came with his DNA all over it?

You put a magnet inside a Klein Bottle?
I think you mean you put a magnet outside a Klein Bottle. ;-)
+Alex24757 nice
+Diggnuts They're also inside one another. There is no innermost and no outermost klein bottle.
+FreeHomeBrew Woah! My head exploded. Fortunately the mess is contained in a klein bottle.

A real life mad scientist (in the good sense).
You just gotta appreciate that man's enthusiasm
+d3rrial I agree so much with you on this xD
I honestly idolise his creativity and enthusiasm. It does not matter that he is a little nutty because he is doing what he loves.
He's so fixated on one thing.

Watching cliff has put the biggest smile on my face. Best depression cure I've found in ages :)

This is your brain on math.
hahaha
Not even once. Odd always.
+I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter Maths* ;)

Yes, Exactly.
This is how teachers should be :) Being excited to teach & making the students to be excited about the subject too :)

Y e s .
Make him into a klein bottle

The first thing we need is a diamond saw.
Okay! Here's a diamond saw!!!
I mean everyone has one of those lying around right? .-.
+Shenpo You never know what you'll find in the backyard of a dedicated physical mathematician.
Actually a lot of people do. They're not super expensive or anything, they're just blades tipped with bits of diamond scrap, super useful for a lot of things.
Yeah, wet saws with diamond blades aren't really uncommon at all.
Diamonds are actually really cheap, it's only the 4 Cs that made diamonds you see in a jewelry shop so expensive.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LMAO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's hard not to love this guy.
Shows what enthusiasm can do for presentation.
This guy is a joy to watch.
I really do envy this guy. he's found Somthing that makes him truely happy.
This guy's enthusiasm is on point. Awesome Video numberphile ..
I hope to become as awesome and excited about something as this guy when i get old
:)
Ew. It's you 🤢🤮
only somebody who has thousand of glass klein bottles under their house would think to cut one in half in real life. :D
false.
I wanted to make a joke about klein bottles, but it was too one-sided.
Kaas Kaas yep jokes about Klein bottles are not edgy enough
it wasnt edgy enough
Your jokes are very 1-dimensional
**Topological cringe intensifies**
Boffai vu Коhа. cmon. you’re going to get whooshed.
There's something about an eccentric guy like Cliff using a band saw that scares me.
i wonder how he'd freak out if he met klein xD
Dr.Kuhmilch Great Scott!
Dr.Kuhmilch ya hahahaha
Ok, ok, if we learn to time travel, we get him and take him to meet Klein
This man looks so excited about everything he explains, I love it.
how long until there's a youtube channel where cliff cuts random things in half?
Rachel Evans it's cause it exists already
its called howtobasic
Its called mrgear
roowco1
hello fellow whovian
Mikaela Forte hi :)
if this guy was in The Martian he wouldn't have needed saving. build a whole city out of string and rocks and clone himself some babes.
+ImmaterialDigression And made a time machine spaceship.
He's amazing!
+ImmaterialDigression nah, he would just make a bunch of klein bottles and forget to tend his potatoes
Definitely a film I would have gone and seen. Maybe he could break bad and become the villain.
guess his evil name would be Khaos Klein and he would trap his victims in four dimensional klein bottles from which they can never escape
+Azivegu Or maybe slice the potatoes into Klein Bottles!
Cliff builds these little machines that, to most of us, are so spectacular and ingenious...but he does it just as little steps along the way in his various Klein Bottle endeavors. His TRUE passion...
Young at heart :)
+snaleks He's like a kid who just got to play with his favorite toys for a living his whole life.
+snaleks Suggest looking up Cliff Stoll's TED talk, it's amazing, the topic is nothing in particular except math
This guys is amazing. More videos with him.
plz
He's really passionate about Klein bottles and building stuff. Adam Savage would love this man.
+llgla Agreed
+llgla Two of my favorite public speakers and fabricators in the world. If someone got them together for a day and just filmed what they did, I would absolutely watch it.
+evilcam Probably they would weld a gigantic Klein bottle. And then make it explode using C4 shaped in moebius strips.
I don't think Adam would have access to C4 any more. Unless he knows someone who knows someone who is willing to do it for him . That's only my theory. Anything could happen.
I can pretty much guarantee Adam knows how to make C4. If not C4 than a whole host of other explosives.
Cliff is like Doc from Back to the Future
This guy's excitement is contagious. Even when I'm depressed, he still makes me smile inside.
This man is so happy. I giggled when he was so excited about the difference between the two mobius loops.
6:18 I love how he already had two halves of a Klein bottle all along and just wanted to show us the fancy diamond saw in his garden. xD
i want to see this guy making a rube goldberg machine
...he would make it entirely out of Klein bottles.
Have you seen his saw setup? His Rube Goldberg machine would be the size of a city block
It would probably be the never ending kind.
??
Such a great teacher, he's so excited and driven. All teachers should be like Cliff.
I love this guy's craziness! Its creepy but so amusing!
He reminds me of Doc Brown
+Richard Returns Great Scott!
+Lucky Abat Not creepy, but it is very charming to see someone with such lvoe and passion for mathematics
me too.

You're just "normal".
I wish I was half as excited about anything in my life as Cliff Stoll is about klein bottles. You can tell he's passionate about his work.

The subtitles there is just “!!!!”
@@dezcubing5844 Hahaha that's great
Am i the only one who was almost screaming: don't cut off your fingers on that diamond saw, doc!
dont worry he has the machine that reattaches them somewhere
I love how enthusiastic about everything he does.
Oh I just love this guy so much. He looks to have pure enthusiasm and curiosity, and always can't wait to share whatever he got.

OMG I knew I recognized his voice. Then I thought he sounds like the guy from "The KGB the computer and me" and I googled it and IT'S HIM!
someone should make a bong out of a Klein bottle
+Scratch I think he already did.
There is no hole in a Klein bottle. It's one continuous surface..
sure you can, inhale through the bottom, modify it so it suits the mouth a bit more, pour water through it, drill a hole in the side, put the holder for the weed, and you got yourself an upside down klein bottle bong. The bend will have to be made as more of a pit so it holds the water without it acting like a straw I assume
Hydrantdude how does this crazy dude make a klein bottle hat without a hole to put his head it
+Scratch That's what you get if you cut off the loop instead of taking a cross-section.
I can only hope to one day become as enthusiastic about something so esoteric as this man. A true legend.
More videos please with this person :D
I love how excited he is about everything :)
Cliff Stoll FTW!!
This guys lives like i do, crazy lab inside house, and a wilderness outside of the house, i love all the plants!
His eccentricity tells me maths is not the only thing he's using those Klein Bottles for.
I love this guy. If only everyone had passion projects that made them so excited and happy.
What a character!! Reminds me of Doc Emmett Brown from BTTF!!
That was the idea, i suppose...
i love this dude, he's so energetic and excited for math related things(especially Klein Bottles)
Dude reminds me of a doctors sues character
When you cut a Klein bottle in half
You can easily do the math
Two Mobious loops
No longer in a group
It is easily define

I love how passionate this guy gets! He's just so excited about wierd shapes!
I love this guy! I had a math teacher, he looked the same and acted the same! That's sooo crazy!
It would be so fun to have him as a teacher

I bet if you were pissed off, and you watched this guy, I bet you aren't pissed off anymore!

We better get an episode about lenses. I can't get enough of Professor Stoll

"To show you the power of upper dimensions, I cut this Klein Bottle in half!"
this man's passion for klien bottles and maths make me genuinely happy and makes my day. this is the kind of guy everyone needs in their lifes
this guy is off his rocker for those damn loops.
+cr0nosphere He's not off his rocker. He just converted his rocker into a musical instrument Dr. Seuss would be proud of, which also functions as a snowmobile.
^ And it would be the shape of a Klein Bottle

the most adorable thing Ive watched on youtube. These Klein bottle videos are addicting. Im almost enjoying it as much as he is
"The first thing you need is a diamond saw. Okay!"
Because of course he has a diamond saw in his backyard, why wouldn't he?

With his enthusiasm, Cliff could teach anyone anything.
"and i'd love to talk about it some other time"
