This thread to me is a
Bit like the imaginary Klein bottle.

And there is proof to that aswell.

That's cool, does it have any other uses other than a visual representation of a Möbius strip.
Say for a beverage perhaps. :D

Lol. So when can we get the first shipment dispatched by


I'm just thinking of the concept now, I don't think there is a need for the cork because it would be sitting down on a flat surface so there would be no air, it would most certainly be interesting to drink out of. :D

Well, considering the Klein Bottle was first considered in the 1880's, I think we're a little overdue.

Was it considered as a glass to drink out of though? :D eat your heart out Heston Blumenthal.

A bit of fun. Anyhow, since the imaginary bottle has no inside or outside where would one put a cork? And what purpose would a cork have? You can't keep anything in or out of it because it has no in or out.

Hey David:

Are you near the path of that cyclone?

If so, batten down the hatches!

Nope. I'm diametrically opposite that one.

Well, it's absurd as long as you keep it in its intended 2D representation. 3D immersed versions do exist. You could probably get some good copper-free sour mash out of one of those if you had a Pyrex version. Think about it…a 1-piece, portable gin still. Brilliant!

Yesss!! I love the idea.

But whether practical or not, it still makes a great decoration:

There is no need for anybody to discredit the fact that god exists.
In the quantum, 12th dimensional realm, weather it be infinitely small or infinitely large what ever lives on the 12th dimensional plane will have a 12th dimensional perspective, something our three dimensional brains may never fathom.

To see and cope with 12 dimensions? Now that would be god-like!
I still get distracted by the 4th, let alone more.

Yes, Hyper cube or Tesseract I found was a good way to try and visualise the 4th dimension.

Otherwise i try and interpret what our 3d environment would seem like to a 2 dimensional flat being. And you can quickly discover the advantages of a 3 dimensional world over a 2 dimensional world.

I find it fascinating that there are things we cannot see because our brains essentially limit us.

I am also fascinated at what others see.
