A Little Topology Twist

A Little Topology Twist

The experiment was going smoothly until the coffee mug showed up! What we're witnessing is a topologist's nightmare - three perfect toruses (donuts) in a row and then BAM! A simple coffee mug crashes the topology party! In the wild world of topology, a coffee mug and a donut are actually the same shape (both have exactly one hole), but try telling that to the scientist monitoring this experiment! The stick figure's "all good so far" comment is about to age like milk left in a quantum physics lab over spring break. That mug is the mathematical equivalent of wearing socks with sandals to a fashion show!
