Cliff Stoll is one of the most awesome guys ever. I bought a Klein bottle as a gift for a friend nd asked him to attach a short note. Not only did he take the time to typeset my letter properly, add the decals to the bottle and add all sorts of funny stuff to the package, but he took pictures of everything - him, the letter, the bottle, and the final package - and emailed them to me so I was in the know about exactly what he had done, and promptly sent it all to my friend. Wonderful guy.
@@JohnMichaelson I love that he is consistent with his generosity. I sent a Klein bottle to a friend as well and when I saw what he did, I just had to have one of my own. My interaction with him via email and the photos I got back were half the experience of the entire purchase. I'm currently reading Cuckoo's Egg for the second time and enjoying every page.
Damn...it's impossible to not appreciate his idealistic approach and enthusiasm! What a world we could have if we were able to bring more people into the "Stollian" mindset...
What I want to know is why his desktop icons are sorted the way they are. They seem like they have some pattern. Why the ordered ones on the left, and the chaos on the right?
My most beloved scientist I never met in person, but his enthusiasm and idealistic approach make me excited about which fascinating things this world keeps in store for us to discover! In general, it is a joy to see people loving what they're doing.
A favorite lecturer of mine says that strong scientific statements should not end with periods, but with Semi colons. Because the great debate goes on...
Have you experienced parallel realities of the unrisen yet? Can you prove all the energy of Psalm 91 and what it does or how it works? Please read it everyday, you are a valuable person. Metaphysics is going to become extremely important to you....the paritcle theory of waves going through 2 slots is going to become really important to parallel realities.
i have a deep respect for this man, and i can kinda agree with him on this topic. BUT i must say that pure science as he intends it is dangerously close to a waste of time and resources. like the LHC for instance: a huge energy and money drain machine built for the sake of demonstrating the existence and behaviour of some subatomic particles. i think that as the world is nowdays it would be better to solve problems first and then do pure reserch.
It helps us to build an understanding of the universe.This can help us too, making us understand stuff about time travel and all those crazy things.Pure science isn't waste! if you don't like it, you simply aren't able to understand it.you are not curious enough.
Watching people in the commends call this mindless creature a genius is absolutely hillarious, and proves how far we have sunken to deprive socio status needs from useless speaking with no meaning behind its words... saying nothing

And he's still doing it today. I ordered two and had the same wonderful experience. He's the most generous person with his time I've ever seen.

Such an amazing mind, and an amazing person. As someone deeply intrigued by both mathematics and science, I just can't help but admire this guy.
Yes, exactly! :)

Most people would have just demonstrated the van de graaf, Cliff takes the sphere off and talks about its properties. True genius.
I like how his desktop folders are all scattered and random.
Cliff Stoll-the legend
This man.
The face of true science.
Whoever did the music for these videos deserves applause and a raise
i would love to be his sidekick!
You mean Marty McFly?
i want Cliff to be one of the Doctors regeneration... if only
His tardis would only consist of klein bottles
Nah his Tardis would be the little forklift robot that stores them under his house.
He was a student of my grand father. Ernst E. Both at the buffalo museum of science.
My name is also Ernst i was the teacher of your grandpa i actually treversed in time to teach him
That ending could have made me cry
What is the song name or genre of the music at 00:24?
This man is the perfect mix between Doc Emmet Brown and Roberto Benigni. Just love him.
Mathematician, Astronomer, Professional Klein Bottle
I LOVE Cliff Stoll. I bought one of his klein bottes and he sent me all kinds of cool stuff.
there he said it. Science is pure entertainment. The pleasure of finding things out. Just like Feynman said too.
He is one ball of enthusiasm and knowledge. :)
i love how he has a trackball taped to the arm of his chair, i think i might do that!
I love this guy
Klein Bottles
What I want to know is why his desktop icons are sorted the way they are. They seem like they have some pattern. Why the ordered ones on the left, and the chaos on the right?
More please!
Anyone else come to watch this awesome guy from Numberphile?
Yes exactly
Yes.
Ditto :D
SCIENCE ISN’T ABOUT WHY, IT’S ABOUT WHY *NOT!!!*
My most beloved scientist I never met in person, but his enthusiasm and idealistic approach make me excited about which fascinating things this world keeps in store for us to discover! In general, it is a joy to see people loving what they're doing.
Wow, I like how he thinks . Such a scatter brain that's so perfect .
The hardest camera work that guy ever had
2:35 i tried to catch it...
+
awesome windows xp pc in the background
Pure science is spiritual.
Almost artistic, in a way!
¿Is that why the Spanish start a question with a hook?
Cliff: "Hooks are like upside-down question marks.
Me: "¿Qué dice este señor?
I want to study under this guy really really really really really badly.
This applies to good anything.

Bad teachers show.
Normal teachers explain.
Good teachers make you wonder.
Great teachers inspire.
this man is the willy wonka of science. we better catch him before he becomes just a part of another movie.
DOC BROWN
You beautiful, beautiful man.
Best thing at&t ever made
love
Every video of this guy has comments mentioning Klein bottles. xD
Well, the guy does have like, literally thousands of klein bottles under his house which he manages with a little home made robot.

Is this science : i want a paraboloid and i want to squeeze it so i want to see what happens
He looks and talks like Larry David!
But this approach of science will rarely get you any funding, especially in the US.
Everything is for profit nowadays.
nobody at AT&T ever watched this video. AT&T is all about MONEY $$$$$$$

KEPHALLE It isn't wasteful! We are working on finding the Higg's bozon, which will allow us to make elements that are new!
It helps us to build an understanding of the universe.This can help us too, making us understand stuff about time travel and all those crazy things.Pure science isn't waste! if you don't like it, you simply aren't able to understand it.you are not curious enough.
KEPHALLE You aren't getting what his saying, pure science for him is like watching a movie for us- it's good entertainment.
KEPHALLE so,you are saying that LHC isn't useful
Science for curiosity is bad. There are dire questions and problems to solve yet you ask why echoes exist.
Good scientists are better, but bad scientists are needed.
TheUmbrellaCorpX7 Yet he said that dumb thing
A problem to solve is a question.
