Turning a Sphere Inside Out

In case you wanted to know how to turn a sphere inside out without creasing it, this short video shows how to do it. It doesn't make any sense to me, but maybe someone out there can explain how the solution doesn't crease. Another bonus -- it seems to be narrated by two androids.

At least it's interesting to watch. Maybe turn off the sound so you don't have to listen to the narration?

what? it show us how they manipulate a computer image, it has nothing to do with a real sphere. in fact the 'rules' stated would be different from program to program and only pertain to the computer image they are using. cool to look at though.

Oh, ye of little faith! The all powerful gods of the internet have shown you the way yet you persist in wallowing in abject ignorance. R E P E N T N O W! before the bell tolls and time has slipped irrevocably through the hourglass and your soul is left to wander the halls of abject ignorance for all eternity or until the Verison repair-person comes to reconnect you.

😝 Waxing prophetic.
