    Without ants (clean up crew) The world would be too toxic to live in. Some say 3 -7 days idk about that but if you think ants aren't necessary to your world well do your own research. Add bee's too unless you want to run around with a paintbrush pollinating flowers.

    The "Klein Bottle" that we can hold is really only the 3d shadow of a 4d shape. Think of it this way, if you had a flat drawing of a Mobius strip, it would appear to "go through itself" in order to connect backwards with the other end. That drawing would only be a 2d shadow of the 3d shape that the Mobius strip is. The Klein bottle as we can see it passes through itself. In the 4th dimension it would be a single uniform shape like the Mobius strip. Think of the Klein bottle he's holding as a 3d drawing of a 4d shape.

    As a chemist this video on chirality is so beautiful, and in fact highly applicable to the so-called 'real world'. Indeed there are many molecules with built in chirality analogous to these mobius strips, and they can show many amazing properties. Chiral molecules (which we call enantiomers) are denoted R and S depending on their 'handedness'. The interesting thing from a chemistry perspective is chemically, the R and S molecules behave identically. In virtually any chemical reaction/interaction, the R or the S molecule will behave in the same way (the only exception is if there is another chiral influence in the system, which will in turn interact differently with the R molecule compared to the S). The cool thing here is if we move to the analogous molecular Klein bottles, where we now have a single molecule with two built in chiral components (termed 'diastereomers', which can adopt configurations of RR, SS, RS and SR), these molecules behave differently in virtually any chemical system, regardless of whether the external influence is itself chiral or not. I'm not an expert maths or topology, but I would be fascinated if someone who is would be able to tell me if these '4 unique' Klein bottles are in fact analogous to the 4 typically unique configurations of diastereomers.

    5:08 I realize the potential for the KleinStein is that you could fill the outside with water, stick it in the freezer, and once it's frozen, you fill the inside with beer. Now you have ice cold beer that doesn't get watered down, but as the ice melts into water while you're drinking your beer, you now have a little bit of water you can drink to counteract the beer, because smart people drink responsibly.

    If you start with a square sheet, and you orient both pairs of opposite edges in parallel, and join them according to those orientations, you get a torus. If you orient one pair of opposite edges in parallel, and the other pair in opposing directions, and join them according to those orientations, you get a Klein bottle. [You can see this on the leftmost figure in the frame at 22:55.] But if you orient both pairs of opposite edges in opposing directions, and join them according to those orientations, you get a cross cap. I read this in an early Mathematical Games column by Martin Gardner, in Scientific American, but I've never seen a cross cap actually realized. What does it look like? It obviously must be self-intersecting in 3D. BTW, there's a neat way to visualize a non-self-intersecting Klein bottle in 4D, that might be a bit too hard to describe here, but maybe I can give it a go. If you conceptualize 3 dimensions as being drawn on a 2D sheet of paper (a common occurrence, so this should be reasonably easy), then just start drawing the bulb portion, continuing into a narrowing neck, which terminates as an open end. On the bulb part, you continue the drawing to show it 'folding' into itself, and then terminating in another open end, inside the 'bulb.' OK, now cut out that drawing, and bend the neck end back and over the bulb, and connect it to where the 'infolded' open end is. The idea is that the actual 3rd dimension (above the paper) is representing the 4th dimension, and you can make the tube you're bending, appear in the 3D space represented within the paper, anywhere within that 3D space, so you just make it 'pop' into there where the infolded part of the bulb is, to join them together. And voilà! - A non-self-intersecting Klein bottle!

    Ok, so I wonder, is there an object, like the mobius band and the klein bottle, that is based in 4 dimensions? Let me explain. in 2d: draw a 2 lines parallel, and connect the ends of the lines to each others beginnings, without crossing: you can't, but a mobius band (3 dimensions) does exactly that. in 3d: take a hollow tube, and connect the end to the beginning, in a way that the outside of the tube, becomes connected to the inside of the tube: you can't, but a klein bottle (4 dimensions) does exactly that. so, what would the 4 dimensional step be?
