I watched his previous video illustration of topology in homeomorphic structure(anything!!😄) and was a great stuff for me to clearly understand anyway Poincaré 🍩
Conjecture
By listening, I calculate his mental age to be -e^3.
Because Cliff knows the long answer to every question.
I was hoping for more Cliff stoll and there you come😀
The glassblower has some mad skills
Pragyan years ago I got a Klein bottle and a Klein Stein from Cliff and I wonder if Lucas was the glassblower making them back then.
Old Man Kaseki smiles.
Yes - but not mad patience. At 2:50 he simply did not bother making ridiculous many intermediate states anymore.
Lol check out it 17 linked Klein bottles and nested bottles
Yeah, I'm jealous :D
cliff has gone mad with power, now theres tentacles even
He actually traveled to the 4th dimension which explains his klein bottle obsession and somehow gets these mind boggling glass creations.
Well of course he has. You ever try being mad without power? It's boring, nobody listens to you.
@@PhilBagels You ever tried going mad without tentacles? its boring, your fingers dont even wobble
there's*
@@JorgetePanete no one cares
Video : 7:58
Dad sitting next to me : What's he doing?
Me : He's teaching Math
HAHAH!
Thats glorious xd
😂
and doing an amazing job of it
"He's beginning to believe."
Cliff Stoll: I have a great idea!
Glassblower: * sweats nervously *
Cliff Stoll is a hobbiest glassblower.
@@Jared7873 that is why he made the joke lol
false.
Topology and tentacles: we don't need a more attractive introduction than this.
@dmanc1 very cool
Gah, beat me to it

Talk about knowing one's audience!
2:45 "Everything's legal! No problem at all!"
~Cliff Stoll, 2020
I’d vote for him
It's the math version of "Super easy! Barely and inconvenience"
topologically, the gloves don't fit, must acquit
Thankfully, that's not Trump in the picture by the old phone... I blew it up and checked. Trump would certainly agree with this though.
Cliff for president!
Daniel Radcliffe: *makes a movie called Guns Akimbo
Cliff Stoll: *hold my Klein bottle*
Daniel Radcliffe: I can't. I've got guns akimbo
Klein my hold bottle?
??.
"I can transform from arms akimbo into interlinked fingers with the aid of a couple tentacles." The way this simultaneously sounds like the ramblings of a madman but also makes perfect sense... my brain is not build to deal with such statements. :D
For a few minutes, quantum mechanics didn't seem that unintuitive... or crazy. Then reality collapsed on me again.
We mathematicians are a bit crazy.

@Michael Skinner Be my guest.
Probably because it is the ravings of a madman, that are also perfectly sensible.
I love this man’s videos.
His enthusiasm clearly portrays his love for the subject and his passion towards it. Looking forward to many more such videos(even though I don’t claim to fully understand them).
If we had more math teachers with this kind of fervor, we'd probably have more people doing better at math in the US
I've no idea what he is talking about, but I enjoy it 110%!!
He was jumping with excitement. I can’t fully understand what’s going on or why it’s exciting but he’s excited so now I am too
Today, I ordered a Klein bottle from his website. received two handwritten emails from Cliff. a full page thanking me for putting his kids through grad school, and urging me not to expect any thanks from thém, because gratitude is apparently not taught there xD And other mathmatical jokes and puns.
the second email with a dozen photos of him fulfilling my order. Which, for some reason involves showing the Klein bottle around his wife's garden and posing with an extremely happy-looking Cliff xD
OmikronWeapon oml can a man get any more adorable!? 😍😣
Out of all the mathematicians, Cliff Stoll is exactly the one i imagined would be interested in tentacles.
😳
??.
The most Cliff Stoll video I’ve seen yet! Gotta love his enthusiasm, would love to see him more on the channel.
We have two more Cliff videos over the next two Sundays!
@@numberphile AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I CANNOT STOP SCREAMMMINNNGGG

Cliff is everyone's spirit animal.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache It’s you again...
Dude you're everywhere
Man, you are on,

History,
And FRIKKIN POKEMON CHANNELS
How do you just always go to the same videos as me!? ...I'm getting scared here
idk sounds kinda like cultural appropriation
Is there anything in this world more precious than Cliff bouncing around in his living room/kitchen and making weird noises because he's just SO EXCITED about math? XD
You are all cordially invited to the next talk by Dr. Clifford "Chtulhu" Stoll: "Topological invariants and anatomy: polarimetry of tentacles at large phase angles"
Okay but can you make a Klein Tentacle?
@@ThePhantomSafetyPin And why not? The ones Cliff was using in the video were rather _klein aber fein_
I'm reminded of the song 'Tentacles' by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society
??.
@@Triantalex Cliff's PhD thesis was entitled "Polarimetry of Jupiter at large phase angles."
I love how Cliff presents things. Other would probably show this in a computer animation, but he shows it on glass models and his very own body :)
Also, I know that in topology things can generaly go through each other (with exception of knots), but it's nice to see how you can make the transformation without that.
??.
Videos with Cliff have the power to make my whole day instantly better. Thank you!
That was crazy, hilarious and very interesting.
It was crazy, it was hilarious but it was not interesting.
@@leowribeiro thats your opinion
@@leowribeiro Shame, things like this has advanced us further, and you saying it's objectively , Not interesting, just characterized yourself as uninterested into new and leading ideas to change shapes, which is mathematically extremely important. Leading scientists went to learn about knots, strings, and how they work. Took many years, but needed for Biology since micro organisms like cells split / work by using knots. Not very interesting at first, but basic things have great reasons.
false.
Find someone who looks at you the way cliff stoll looks at mathematical glass sculptures
??.
Clif Stoll + Topology = Excitement
Cliff Stoll = Excitement
FTFY
especially involving klein bottles
5:51 "I'll give you a Klein Bottle if you can solve it!" There it is! There's the Kleinn Bottle reference 😆
Klein Bottles giveaway to award the students

That's the sweetest person ever!
I wish there was some teachers like him in my country.
I needed somewhere appropriate to share this: I ordered a Klein bottle from Cliff today. His website gave the option to leave him a note, so I did. The usual "Thanks for the videos and being awesome." Not really thinking anymore of it aside from "He'll probably read it and be happy about it"
End of the evening: I randomly check my mail. Twó, handwritten E-mails from Cliff. One filled with jokes and thanks for my order. The second has about a dózen photos of my Klein bottle. Klein bottle on his scales, Klein bottle in his hand. Klein bottle posing with broadly smiling Cliff in his garden. Which I now know several species of his wife's plants, as he decided to mention their names. With "Fibonacci hiding in them".
He even went through the trouble of translating "fragile, contains empty glass bottle" into Dutch and writing it on the box. Not printed. Handwritten. And several cartoons of wineglasses with broken stems XD
Cliff, you are a madman XD It's so touching, that one of my favorite Numberphile guests, put all that time and effort into my simple online order.
Wow, that's really cool! Going the extra mile and then some more! Amazing how much enthusiasm Cliff has. You can tell he's someone who deeply loves what he does and loves sharing that passion, and there's something amazing about those people.
Whenever I see Cliff in a video, it makes my day better and reminds me of how awesome and magical life is, every day. Thanks Cliff!
When he walks away from the camera still talking.
"Marty! There are now two of me and there are two of you here.
The other me is
the dr Emmett Brown from 1955.
The other me that helps
the other you get back to 1985."
That bit reminds me of Groucho Marx

A Numberphile video with Cliff Stoll NEVER disappoints.
"This is a lot like... a human being -- it's like ME, ..."
Cliff, you're not our average human being, you're part octopus!
3:14 Cliff pointing at stuff using his nose :) I missed him!
"(with Cliff Stoll)"
I think Brady figured out how to get a video to go viral, guys :D
While I'm not impressed by the new "hole"
I'm impressed that he linked 2 loops without passing them thru each other
He did, topologically.
A small twist of glass and mind.
Just another busy day.
ZZZZZZZZPPP
What do we need to do to get Cliff his own weekly show? I'm up for whatever because he's so smart and entertaining to learn from.
Even if it’s him just showing us each of his individual Klein bottles it would be amazing
The enthusiasm of this guy is insanely contagious.

I don't understand anything in these videos but i wish everyone in the world had as much passion and enthusiasm for what they do as this man.
this channel has given me such an appreciation for topology, a field of study I didn't even know existed until finding your channel. love your videos!
edit: would have been a nice touch had you used Professor Farnsworth's Fing-Longer though
Cliff Stoll is literally the most enthusiastic mathematician I know and he somehow transfers that enthusiasm to everyone around him.
Please never stop making videos with him
That is one *curious* glassblower and one *determined* topologist. I've got one of Cliff's Klein bottles on my desk. I cherish it. ❤️
Cliff is an absolute joy to watch. Not only is he extremely enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does, but he's also hilarious!
I love his enthusiasm!
Forget meth, he's high on math!
Glad to see Cliff Stoll again!
I wonder if he has a glass topology collection room by now.
He has a whole Klein bottle warehouse under his house, and the world's most adorable forklift robot to retrieve them
Javier Benez well I’ll be damned! Now I really wanna enter his house!
Me: Is it ok to watch hentai?
Cliff Stoll: Everything's legal! No problem at all!
Noice😂
Only if it involves tentacles
Tentacle hentai
And the best thing is, of someone catches you watching that, you can convincingly say that is a maths show and they are demonstrating geometry.
@@prunabluepepper *topology
I love this guy! So much enthusiasm and a genuine excitement in showing and explaining his field of interest.
I always have big smile on my face when I watch a video with him in it.
Love this man, he has so much passion that I can feel it too
thank you David ... I certainly appreciate your kind note! -Cliff
Cliff is my favorite numberphile contributor, if only for his (entirely justified) fantastic enthusiasm
It's adorable how enthusiastic this guy is about mathematics.
I love these videos with Cliff. He is so energetic and entertaining it makes you want to stick around. I hope he's still teaching. Someone like that is exactly what students need.
Most people: clicks the vid because of tentacles
Numberphile regulars: clicks the vid because of Cliff Stoll
Me: clicks the vid to see when this was uploaded and realizes it's new
This is brilliant, and Cliff's genuine enthusiasm is contagious :)
Watching cliff struggle with the tentacles is really something.
Every clip with this guy is like an intensive gym for my brain. I love it!

This is the only man with the power to point at things with his nose. One of the many things that make Cliff Stoll one of the best Numberphile guests ever
This video radiates powerful chaotic energy. Neither Cliff nor his excitement can be contained.
Having Cliff on the channel is always a delight. My face will have a smile all day.
I love this guy so much. 10 year old kid inside the body of an old guy haha
Never seen a man with such a energy and love for maths in such an age . Hands off . Great way of explaining.
Oh I miss this man so much!
I'd love to see more videos with Cliff Stoll. His explanations are so enthusiastic you can't help but smile watching him.
5:23
The same thing happens to me at night.
The simple joy in this video was lovely
I bought a Klein bottle from him. It’s one of my most prized items now 😊
I have a tiny Klein bottle necklace a friend of mine got me from him - I don't wear necklaces but I really like it. :D
Gal Grünfeld He even sent me like 10 pictures of him boxing up my Klein bottle. It was totally surreal.
I'd put that Klein bottle and his pictures in a specialized altar. Where did you buy it though?
I‘m in desperate need of the information where you got these treasures!!!
@@MrSpeedyAce I got the same thing todáy! I'm still buzzing from reading his full page, personal letter and seeing the photos of Cliff posing in his garden with my bottle. The dude translated "fragile, contains empty glass bottle" into Dutch and wrote it on the box by hand...
And I haven't even gotten my bottle yet. Which he sprayed with ethanol to "inebriate any Covid viruses".
Cliff! You have an amazingly delightful and passionate way of showing science to the world, and your videos make us happy.
The bed part, though. What a happy couple!
I didn't realize that I needed another Cliff Stoll video but wow I needed it
this is my new favorite video in all the internet
Cliff is such an enthusiastic dude! Love it. More of him please.
Did anyone mention the episode of Spongebob “Shanghaied” when Spongebob does this behind his back to scare someone?
i remember that but the sound effects were different then cliff's but that could be a result of being underwater
so we have discovered spongebobs true secret
You did, and we thank you! 👍😎✌️

No better way to start off your day than with a Cliff Stoll video! Almost makes coffee superfluous.

i expected NONE OF THIS when i clicked. thank you for the entertainment because this was not just awesome and mind bending but a hilarious video. this guy is mad awesome
Nobody:
Cliff Stoll: *TENTACLES AKIMBO!!!*
That's why we all love Cliff Stoll!
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Cliffs house looks exactly like you'd expect. Warm, cozy, and chaotic, all at the same time.
7:50 this right here is the kind of crazy I want to be when I grow up
I found this equally mysterious and relaxing. I giggled madly through the whole thing like a 5 year old. I so wish he was my grandpa! Theres something about topology that breaks my brain but relaxes my body, its like my brain cant explain what my intuition knows and finds joy in. Love this guy! More videos about topology withhim please!
If you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and buy one of his Klein bottles. he handles your order with the same spirit. I just ordered one today and his reply had me both laughing out loud (the actual kind, not the internet kind) and speechless with surprise and awe.
You had me at "Cliff Stoll."
My spouse bought me a Klein bottle from Cliff. The documents and pictures that came with it were worth the price alone. Cliff never disappoints.
Someone finally invented the fing-longer. Professor Farnsworth would be proud.
This man now has me sitting in bed at night questioning my existence
So he also just happens to have tentacles in his house?
Doesn't everyone?
It's a mathematician thing
That passion, that pure energy that Cliff put into this videos is unmatched. I hope he keeps doing this super interesting videos, making maths accesible for everyone!! Much love from Spain
I'm a simple man. I see Cliff Stoll, I like.
This man needs his own science show!
ah, that notification said "tentacles". i see now
The power of the mathematical community: Cliff turned the topological problem into a funny physical puzzle, and the students found out a solution with their new, different perspectives! These are some geniuses I'd strive to be.
I see Cliff Stoll in the video title.
I see Tentacle in the video title.
How can you not click on it?
I bought a glass klein bottle from Cliff few years ago. What a lovely person he is, I must say, I got several pictures from him packing up the bottle + a personal letter when I ordered it. Always excited to see new videos from him. :-)
I actually understood this , wow
I bet it must be amazing to have Cliff as a grandfather
Mandatory comment about instantly clicking a Cliff video.
I'm amazed by how excited he is about this topic.
I'm a simple man, I see Cliff, I click.
I don't have any tentacles, so after watching this and the extra video, I tore my newspapers to make tentacles, and when I got into final position, I danced a little like a madlad...
"Grad students I think."
We'll know for sure when things come up missing. Hold on to that photo.
We need more of Cliff Stoll. He makes me feel sane.
I want to be Cliff Stoll when I grow up.
I love the videos with Cliff! He's got so much energy! He gets such joy from math(s).
