About this product

This elegantly curved glass Klein bottle will intrigue and delight any mathematician, physicist, or science buff. Like a Möbius strip, this Klein bottle has only one side. In addition, a Klein bottle has no edge - the connection from "inside" to "outside" is smooth, and the bottle has no lip. To a mathematician, this is zero-volume because it doesn't divide the universe into two parts. Despite this mathematical property, it's possible to fill it with water, although I don't recommend it, since it's difficult to dry (you can't get a cloth "inside") Each Klein bottle is hand blown from clear glass, so the exact shape and dimensions may vary slightly. Along with the glass Klein bottle, I include entertaining and (possibly) educational documentation, and a removable calibration decal.
