    People just can’t wrap their heads around this. I tried explaining this to someone and they told me to get out of their house because they didn’t know who I was. It’s pretty simple if they just watch the video

    My dude Andrew, I first saw your 4d klein bottle video and instantly subscribed! You're really smart and good at what you do. Please keep creating and I can't wait to see what you come out with next!

    That handcuff puzzle was pretty cool. The 3D animation really helped with understanding. Great video!
  • hands down the most interesting video about coffee mugs and donuts ive watched
  • Keep it up man!! You’ll only get better with time. Sorry I’m a little late to this video, had to move into college. Can’t wait for the next video. You deserve way more views with this amount of effort.
  • Perfect intro to topology. I've used this one to explain to my wife, why I'm so much time in the computer... Thank you! now she still doesn't understand me completely, but she as a sense of why I like math so much
  • @nrml76
    More videos on topology for non mathematicians please. You did a great job of presenting concepts in a very understandable way.

    I hope you're still out there somewhere. Your videos are incredible, and I've already shared a this one and the 4D Klein bottle video a couple times. In any event, I hope you're well. And thank you for these videos, they're incredible.
