-----UPLOADER NOTES-----
This is the full version! My previous upload cut off some of the credits. I was having troubles with the audio when I tried using Premiere to combine the videos manually. Thankfully, FFmpeg did a fantastic job of connecting the VOB files without any audio loss. Enjoy!
I'm always looking for more info on this. If you have any more resources to look into, a physical copy of the video, or know someone involved in making it, please let me know in the comments!
[IMPORTANT] I have not monetized this video and never will. Any ads you see are a result of youtube changing their terms of service to allow for ads to play on any video regardless of their participation in the YouTube Partnership program.
Update [09/12/2021]: Broken links have been fixed, with a few new ones added. New videos in the works!
----DESCRIPTION----
The computer animation Outside In explains the amazing discovery, made by Steve Smale in 1957, that a sphere can be turned inside out by means of smooth motions and self-intersections. Through a combination of dialogue and exposition accessible to anyone who has some interest in mathematics, Outside In builds up to the grand finale: Bill Thurston's "corrugations'' method of turning the sphere inside out. Along the way, the narrators discuss the related case of closed curves and why they generally cannot be turned inside out. Everyday analogies such as train tracks, belts, smiles and frowns are used throughout, all richly animated and complete with sound effects.
Fun Fact: The narrators are named Xanthippe and Yorick, aptly abbreviated in the script as X and Y.
