Imagine if Lucas had made the Klein bottle with a Sprite instead of a Coke. It'd be a soda lime lemon lime soda bottle bottle.

Lucas has found a way to make an iconic object even more iconic- this needs to find its way to some museum of contemporary art.

[@renerpho]

Or to a science museum.

[@michaelhobbs8082]

Shudder to think what it would bring at auction. Maybe a fundraiser for numberphile?

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Absolutely. It's like pop art paintings of logos or what photomontage artists do with magazines. This is something that's never been done before.

Cliff: "I'm not going to ask his secrets." Brady: "It's free real estate."

[@JohnMichaelson]

Cliff's klein bottles are absolutely worth a buy not merely for their own sake, but for the wonderful included materials and fun things he does with the packaging. The box mine came in is every bit as fun and displayable as the bottles are.

[@omikronweapon]

packed to the brim with jokes on shipping papers, and personalised texts all over. Imagine getting a handwritten note from Cliff specifically to you.

[@jesusnthedaisychain]

My bottle is on my bookcase and the packaging it came in is on top of the bookcase. I told him that there are 26 dimensions in my reality, but he didn't take the string theory bait. But he did sign the bottle, so I'm still happy, and our email exchanges were fun, too.

[@christophermclaughlin8899]

I love the stickers he includes! I wish that design was on a t-shirt, so I could wear it with my Klein bottle hat and möbius scarf.

I don't really know much about glass blowing so I can't picture or imagine how this Klein Bottles are made. I would love to see a video showing how they are produced (even if that is probably not going to ve a typical Numberphile video).

[@Alec_Smahrt]

>(even if that is probably not going to ve a typical Numberphile video). Sounds like maybe a topic for Objectivity, his other channel.

@Matthew Morycinski Cliff has shown Numberphile his warehouse in his basement, but in reality, it only appears to be a warehouse in 3-dimensional space.

[@rcnhsuailsnyfiue2]

Search the channel for the other videos with Cliff. There’s one where he shows off his home-made robots, which collect Klein bottles from storage beneath his house for delivery, and talks about the manufacturing process too. Such an amazing character!

[@Triantalex]

[@sandraaiden8587]

Oh I love seeing new and exciting cliff stoll klein bottle content. I crocheted a Klein bottle once and the easiest way I could think of doing it was with the window method (5:40) so I can crochet it in one piece. So cool to see the different immersions. Thanks cliff for another interesting video :)

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Now, for a real challenge, you should try crocheting it in four dimensions.

When I’m feeling a bit low, which is often these days, I just put on the Cliff Stoll playlist. His energy, excitement, charm, and intellect always puts a smile on my face. Thank you for adding another video.❤️

[@Yrouel86]

Awesome to see another Cliff Stoll video, I really love his personality and passion. As usual I recommend everyone his book "The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage". Definitely well worth the read Also get a Klein Bottle from him, he also sends a lovely message with them

[@eoinlanier5508]

Every day that I see a Cliff Stoll update is a truly happy day, just to know that this man is still doing well. Truly one of the greats along with Mr Rogers.

[@krystianszewczyk2636]

"i don't know how many ears does he have. I can extrapolate " That man is the legend

[@Kazutoification]

I see Klein bottle in the title and I can sense it has Cliff in it, so I click.

[@jessefiedler5069]

Just saw a collection of Cliff Stoll's Klein bottles in San Francisco airport, terminal D. Also on display are a bunch of historic calculators, including many of Cliff's. Other mathematical displays also. Very cool. I saw the Klein bottles from quite a distance and instantly recognized some of Cliff's unique ones that were previously shown on Numberphile.

[@paulurbaniak2242]

I really love how he excited and passionate he talks about his Klein bottles! I bought one a while back and still have to smile every time I look at it on my shelf. Thank you Brady and thank you Cliff!

[@Steerable6827]

Please do more Cliff Stoll!!! I have watched all of his videos at least 3 times, I love him so much

[@Pants4096]

I would SO love to get to spend a day with Cliff and just ask him questions. He's a gem.

[@bdot02]

I always enjoy Cliff Stoll popping up. I bought some klein bottles from him and the packaging they came in was so very humorous.

[@yoyoyogames9527]

just got done with my last a level maths mock and come home to a new cliff video, couldnt ask for more :D

Saw "Klein Bottle" and knew *exactly* who this was going to feature. Love me some good Clifford Stoll content.

[@korn6657]

God bless this gentleman.

[@fartzinwind]

I had a Lenux teacher / Unix teacher in college who was much like this guy. Adorable old nerdy cooks are some of the best people in the world.

[@hamjudo]

In another comment, @Massimo pointed out this Cliff Stoll is the one that wrote the book _The Cuckoo's Egg_ . It describes events that happened while he was a Unix System Administrator at a national laboratory. He was a teacher. His first book has a recipe for cookies. So yup, that sounds like a very similar person.

[@sketchyAnalogies]

My C professor is the same. They actually used to be coworkers

[@lon1117]

Absolutely love Cliff. I bought a Klein Stein from him. The interaction and the additional information he included were brilliantly entertaining alone, not to mention how cool the Stein is!

[@fabiorosa62]

Mr. Stoll is so passionate about this subject, and that passion permeates to other people, me included. And he makes a quite complex topic into such an interesting discussion. Brady, on his turn, makes the right comments at the exact moments. Such a delightful 10 minutes of life-gaining, well-spent time! Thank you both!

[@mjfishersound]

I was fortunate enough to see some of the Klein bottles previously featured here in person at the San Francisco International Airport last month. They're in Terminal 2. Neat stuff!

[@infinitivez]

Stoll is my hero! Yet another fine video added to the Stoll playlist! TY Numberphile!

OK this pushed me over the edge. I went and ordered one from Cliff. His website is worth visiting.

[@omikronweapon]

did you order a klein bottle, or a klein bottle 'puzzle'? :P

[@sketchyAnalogies]

The website is a treat. Needs to get saved on the way back machine as a pick me up for 20 years from now

[@orionsmintaka]

I aspire to always have the level of enthusiasm with my passions throughout my life as Mr. Stoll has. Also, Lucas Clarke sounds like a dreamboat! Talented, likes klein bottles and has very cool glasses 😄 I've just discovered this channel, but this series is great, I'm subscribing now! :D

[@drummer265]

Came here to comment on how much I love videos with Cliff just to see most of the comments already saying that. There's hope for us after all.

[@shmeli]

I really like the analogy that the Klein bottle is to 4 dimensions as the picture is to 3 dimensions... I think this is helping me understand Klein bottles and therefore 4th dimension a little better

[@earendilthebright5402]

Ah Cliff, your enthusiasm always makes me smile

[@DomDomPop]

The coke bottle approach does a great job of conceptualizing the “pathing” as one travels the manifold, I guess because it preserves the traditional orientation and direction of flow we instinctively think of a bottled drink as having.

[@amarug]

I love this guy! Also, I am not sure which is more "beyond my comprehension", the whole immersion from 4d down to 3d, or the god-tier skill of this Lucas Clarke guy!

[@Leo-if5tn]

This guy is fully passionate in what he is doing, I enjoy that

[@WakarimasenKa]

I appreciate that Cliff Stoll appreciates the workmanship and material differences, even as he delights in the topography.

Can't believe it, just unpacked my new printer half an hour ago - and what do I see in the background? Exactly my model! Good choice :-)

I love the Klein bottle videos. That Coke bottle reminds me of the stretched Coke bottles they made down by the seashore when I was a kid and then filled them with layers of colored sand.

[@KipIngram]

I loved hearing that bit about the boro glass vs. the Coca-Cola glass - I have a lot of admiration for people who are true masters of their craft, especially when it involves working with their own hands on something like this. I can design digital logic circuits quite well, if I do say so myself, but to actually get one in my hands I send money to some company to actually make my circuit boards. So yeah - "hands on artisan-ship" really impresses me.

[@SamanthaLaurier]

Yay this guy's back! I love this guy!

I'm always happy to see another Cliff out there, but I'm curious if it's short for Clifford, or in my opinion, the better option of Clifton? I may be biased.

[@eggplnt]

I bought a Klein bottle from this guy a little over a decade ago and it has lived in my shelf since. In all those years only one person has known what it is. The moment he recognized it I was so excited.
