Yes, but I still think my description applies quite well.
Odeon should change his custom title to, "Klein Bottle of the Aspie Delete."
Ok, I looked up "Klein Bottle" and my mathtarded brain still can't figure it out, but, at least I can understand a relationship to a Mobius Strip, except the Klein bottle is in 4 dimensions!~
You can think of a Klein bottle as two Mobius Strips with their edges glued together as in this limerick:
A mathematician named Klein
Thought the Möbius band was divine.
Said he: "If you glue
The edges of two,
You'll get a weird bottle like mine."
Or you can think of it as a Mobius strip folded lengthwise with its edge glued together, as in this animation:
A Klein bottle is a four dimensional object which is not embeddable in Euclidean three dimensional space although its projection into three dimensional space can be represented. This is analogous to the way that an overhand knot with the ends glued together is not embeddable in Euclidean two dimensional space, although its projection into two dimensional space can be drawn on a piece of paper.
Here is a two dimensional projection of a three dimensional projection of a Klein bottle:
I read the limerick and the info and got read more and felt so before I I thought it best to and . When it comes to math I'm a
not a .
Sorrrry I started it.
When Odeon changes his custom title, I will shut up.
