Sphere Eversion
I love the fact that a field like topology, with all its underlying mathematical complexity, also has a such a beautiful visual aspect to it.<p>Does anyone know if people try to tackle topology problems from the visual side? Before computers I imagine it wasn’t really considered. But say one is curious about a particular geometry, any researchers just whip it up in software and start contorting things to see what happens?<p>Beautiful visualization, by the way. Very cool use of Idyll. Watching the sphere evert reminded me of trying to solve those complex wooden burr puzzles.<p><a href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_puzzle" rel="nofollow">https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_puzzle</a>
