@@RKrk-jj2li The glass model is an attempt to portray an object that can't be embedded in 3 dimensions, so it has to go through itself in a few places. But it exists in abstract, and that's what the true Klein bottle is. The cameraman and you are talking about the embedding; Cliff is talking about the abstract object. You're both right, in different ways.
The single Klien Bottle is a "half twist" so a 2nd would be a full twist (2 sided). Odd number of bottles would each be a half twist. Which makes sense since the single bottle is a mobius strip with edges stretched and sealed to form a single sheet. You could make any odd number of bottles without disrupting the single sided surface.

We used about an hour to leave because it we started talking again and again. It was totally worth it!

So a Klein bottle argument is when you actually agree with each other on an issue, but you are mistaking the same side opposite your plane as an opposing side?
I'm not convinced that two connected Klein bottles are actually homeomorphic to a torus, since a strip with two half-twists is not homeomorphic to a normal loop. I would suspect that it would be analogous to a torus but with a couple of "twists" in its surface. In other words, the "twists" in two Klein bottles couldn't be worked out with normal topological operations to arrive at a 4R-embedded torus.

8:54 That is one of the most awesome things i've seen for a while. It's a real piece of art. I wonder if you could do even more with a construct like that. Maybe colored glass, colored fluids or light.
I love how angry Cliff gets when Brady asks why you can’t just use the self-intersections to get from one side to the other. Our 3D geometry is as alien to him as 4D geometry is to most of us
I don't think he's angry, but if he is, he's angry at the puny 3-dimensional world that he's forced to live in, not being able to make and hold the higher dimensional things that he can imagine.
Cliff is actually Lucus's future self that has traveled back in time to share the secrets of Klein bottle technology that has caused a new scientific revolution. He just hasn't revealed his secret identity yet out of fear of creating a temporal anomaly.
But apparently the nuttiness of the Klein Bottle time traveling has caused him to lose his memory of his identity because he really doesn’t seem to know Lucas is his past self.
I'm just in awe. Not only of the concept, but the craftsmanship and raw enthusiasm as well. This is definitely a among the all time great Numberphiles.
0:40 The recycle sign only has 1 twist in it. If you look closely, one of them twists the opposite direction which cancels another twist, leaving it with just 1 twist.
I cut a strip of paper out just to see this for myself. The fact that two of those twists cancel each other out and just redirect the strip is weird to see. Also a three-half-twist Mobius loop isn't nearly as pretty. I'm glad they went with the one-half-twist design.
Cliff is really the happiest man on Earth. I really believe that just his presence can cheer up even the saddest peson on the planet. I just want to have same passion for a subject as he has for Maths. Really love this guy.
Talking Scribe yeah they draw it wrong apparently, i was going to say they didn't because the original is a mobius strip but then i rewinded and you were right.
That's the original design: two over arrows, one under arrow, so one half twist. Now many versions have all arrows the same resulting in 3 half-twists.
The ant klein bottle animation with the different inside/outside crawling sound was so fantastically well done. Don't think that kind of thing goes unnoticed!
The joy of receiving a Cliff Stoll video is already immeasurable, but to know that there's another one coming up, we're going to have to move into another dimension to calculate that amount of joy!
I’m not a mathematician and I keep watching all Cliff’s videos just because of his excitement even though I have no idea how a mobius loop or a Klein bottle will ever mean something to me.
Nice, but it bugs me that it started as a limerick but then it wasn't one. How about this: There once was a person named Klein Who thought Mobius strips were divine But if you take two and bond them with glue You get a cool bottle like mine!
Anyone who likes Cliff in these should *definitely* look into ordering a Klein Bottle off him. Even the website is delightfully bonkers haha. I ordered one a while back and it is one of the few things I have insisted on keeping the original box for; everything about the process is amazing (including the pictures of the bottle next to various flowers in his garden as he was preparing to post it). I am in no way affiliated but you all should definitely look at getting one! Just typing this makes me smile thinking of all the little "easter eggs" that came along with ordering it.
I ordered once 1 KleinBottle and 1 KleinBeerMug nearly 40 years ago. And bought his book about how he helped the governments of the Usa and Germany to find some KGB hackers, who worked out of Hannover. Chris was working at a cal uni as it admin then.

Of course, in Cliff's absolutely insane part of the universe we have Lucas the 4-dimensional glassblower sporting a full mop of bright red curls and an enormous dotted bowtie. And of course he looks like Cliff aged down. We love playing with dimensions.
