    Cliff Stoll discusses a "Remarkable Theorem", Gaussian curvature and pizza.
    More links & stuff in full description below ↓↓↓
    Postscript note from Cliff: "Cliff says he forgot to mention that at each point, he calls an outward going curve positive, and an inward going curve negative. He also neglected to say that saddle points have negative Gaussian curvature. Finally, he insists that the frozen pizza shown in this video is inferior to his wife's homemade pizza. But both have zero Gaussian curvature."

I don't even have a proper response to that, except that I'm not sure I'd be surprised if it turns out he was also a master thief or astronaut or anything else, too.

      A klein bottle has only one side. So then you'd have cheese and toppings on every side whereas a normal pizza has cheese and toppings on 'top' but crust on the 'bottom'. I could see how this might become a messy dilemma.

      Well that is because the pizza dough has a elastic modulus. So for our engineering theory to work it would have to be a material with non zero elastic modulus. Gaussian curvature theory is not dependent on thickness or elastic modulus, so maybe it is a more generalistic description.

    • @NolanZewariligon

      It makes sense to pick the directions of extrema because otherwise you could always find a flat curve in the negative curvature regions.
      If there's a curve A with negative and curve B with positive curvature passing through a point, then you can go through all possible curvatures between the two (including a flat curve) by rotating around that point from A to B.

      I'd guess pretty much everybody not using the zero-on-the-radius technique supports the tip with their finger :D
      That was just to illustrate the point - and that you don't have to make that effort (which is of _course_ a non issue IRL) - by simply applying a Gaussian curvature perpendicular to the radius

      +OriginalPiMan Yes, I eat pizza the same way too. Gaussian curvature just does not hold against heavy toppings and long radius. And I like my pizza large and meaty!
      +enchiladaplatter1 Thanks for your insight.

    This guy is fantastic at teaching things, he's so into it. I've never actually been able to comprehend someone so well, most people who teach are dull and don't even care about what they're teaching. But, this guy? He's actually a lot of fun to listen to.

    I like the theorem in the video. I dislike the fact that you wrote on a bagel with a magic marker. I get the point of doing that, but the poor bagel can't be eaten now. It spent it's entire shelf life and its time on your countertop waiting to be eaten, now it just gets thrown away.... #BagelsHaveFeelingsToo #SaveOurBagelPopulationFromTrashCans

      What do you mean, _can't be eaten_?
      I'll sacrifice myself, I'll do it, so the bagel shall have his life purpose fulfilled!

    I'm old enough to remember the DM (Deutsche Mark) but I never knew that Gauss was on the 10DM note.

      Cliff Stoll sells them as "portraits of Gauss" at his Acme Klein Bottle website.

      Like the proper real things? Or just replicas? Surely can't be real DM notes. Especially the one on his fridge. It looks so crisp and new.

    • @Citiesinmotionplayer
      @Citiesinmotionplayer 8 лет назад +1

      DM were around till 2002 so I'd say a lot of people still remember them.

    • @lacklustermathie
      @lacklustermathie 8 лет назад +3

      From his website:
      Although it would be much cheaper to make these ourselves, we have imported these portraits directly from a trusted manufacturer in an Important First World Country. But on Dec 31, 2001, the factory stopped printing them, so our supplies are very limited. NEVER-AGAIN-AVAILABLE!
      The ones he has left are uncirculated. His website worth visiting just for the amusement value (at least if you have a certain kind of sense of humour.)
