      @TurkishNyan Před 5 lety +4

      Commentur The Great The edges of the square have to touch, the form of the first two edges creates a cylinder. The next step to connect the last two edges completes the form of a torus.
      If we use the idea of transforming the torus into a sphere, that would mean changing where we end up when we go left or right at certain edges.
      Because pac man can only end up on the opposite side, he is not living on the surface of a sphere.

      I find it also interesting how he writes his lowercase "b". I just draw the line downwards and then curve upwards to make the 'belly'. He draws the line downwards - then goes up and curves downwards again. It's a super minor detail but I thought it was funny, because it's an unnecessary stroke.

    Love these videos because they make my brain’s cogwheels go in spinning mode.
    I don’t know whether this has been already mentioned and answered in the comments (didn’t go through the over 7000 comments) so here’s my comment.
    Flattening a torus does not yield a square. Take the circumference of the hole. It is smaller than the circumference of the outside of the torus. So if you cut the torus as shown in the animation, the top and bottom edges will in fact be shorter than the middle length of the flatted new shape, here referred to as “squared”.
    While having some difficulty imagining this, I dare say that it is not even a quadrilateral. You’ll have two straight lines (top and bottom from the inside circumference of the hole) and two curves formed from the opened circumference of the created cylinder which is then flattened.
    I’m no mathematician and also hope that my thoughts are expressed clearly. It would make more sense with a correctly animated torus to flattened plane transformation. The one used in this video requires that the shape is stretched and squashed to fit a square.
