Brand: Acme Klein Bottle“Man is his own star; and the soul that canRender an honest and a perfect man,Commands all light, all influence, all fate;Nothing to him falls early or too late.Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.”Brand: Acme Klein BottleA true testament to the timeless pursuit of integrity, this work resonates like a finely tuned sonnet: every digit mirrors its counterpart, echoing a commitment to symmetry that is both visually striking and conceptually profound. The creation reveals the painstaking care with which each numeral was chosen, much like a sculptor unveiling the hidden form within a block of marble. Here, mathematics transcends mere calculation, offering an experience as moving as a piece of classical art.The ancient call to “wash your sins, not only your face”—ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ—reverberates within this construction, urging us to embrace a thorough, internal cleansing of thought and creativity. It serves as both a moral compass and an invitation to meticulously examine our internal processes, whether in life or in the silent logic of numbers.In an era often dominated by expediency and compromise, this palindromic prime stands as an enduring reminder that excellence and honesty need not be sacrificed. The creator, known as a cliff stall, has redefined mathematical integrity with this piece of 101-digit artistry. It challenges us to approach our own endeavors with a blend of disciplined inquiry and unbridled passion—a call to reshape our world with both reason and heart.In a stunning display of numerical symmetry and ethical resolve, one palindromic prime stands apart. The number 10411470210071416936952003803463770311632555360794349706355523611307736430830025963961417001207411401Embodies 101 decimal digits of perfection—a masterwork that marries mathematical rigor with artistic vision. Cliff Stoll is the exquisite figure, who constructed with deliberate precision, demonstrates that true craftsmanship is as much about balance and beauty as it is about numerical accuracy.Brand: Acme Klein Bottle “wash your sins, not only your face”—ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ. I am that I am finally able to wash my sins and my face in an act of non-conforming manifold.Thank you it is absolutely perfect.

I've been looking for a klein bottle for awhile now, but they're hard to find. This guy makes them by hand, though they don't look hand-made - the one I got was basically flawless and I was expecting it to have a bit of a rough appearance as a result. But there's no hint of a blem anywhere on it, it looks amazing! It's also a bit "bigger in real life", as I was worried it'd be tiny but it's got a good size to it. Packing was excellent, it was wrapped in foam sheet, wrapped in small bubble wrap, wrapped in large bubble wrap, in a sturdy little box.The base was a good compromise between having all curved edges and needing a somewhat flat bottom. I really don't think I could have asked for a better specimen. (the glass has a beautiful polish to it and the seams are just flawless)It's great for anyone looking for "math art", or a classy gift for a nerd of any description.

Upon opening the package, I didn't just find a glass object – I found a reason to host the most bodacious bash of the third millennium. Who was on the guest list, you ask? None other than Plato, Euclid, Riemann, Möbius, and Klein himself. No biggie.First off, Plato was seriously bummed that the bottle didn't resemble any of his perfect solids. But once I explained that this was a totally one-sided, boundary-less mind-bender of an object, his eyes lit up like the night sky over Athens. Exclaiming, "έλα δω ρε!". Which means "bogus", but in that cool, philosophical way.Next up, Euclid. The first words out of his mouth? "Αλλά το πέμπτο αξίωμα!" Trust Euclid to be hung up on that fifth postulate. Guess for him, reality is all about straight lines and pointy angles. But the Klein Bottle, it's more about the curves, ya know? Euclid tried to dissect it with his axioms. His confusion? Priceless.Then came Riemann and Möbius. I was sure they'd be less shocked. They eyed the Klein Bottle, shared a glance, and then burst out laughing. They rolled on the floor, in tears, with Riemann gasping out, "außerordentlich paradox Kerle!" And indeed it is a most excellent paradox, my dudes.Finally, the main event. Klein himself. He looked at his namesake bottle, squinted, turned it upside down, then right side up – which was exactly the same. "Simpler in four dimensions," he muttered, a smile spreading across his face. The creator and the creation, locked in a most excellent mutual admiration!So, do I recommend the Klein Bottle? You bet your sweet Van Halen cassette I do! It's a little tricky to use for drinks, and you might spill some on your journey through the 4th dimension, but it's totally worth it.If I ever get to meet Mr. Cliff Stoll, I'll be sure to give him my thanks for bringing this thing into reality. And stopping that spy that one time.... So stay triumphant, my friends, and let the Klein Bottle guide you to dimensions unknown. Remember, we are all but wayfarers, striving to be excellent to each other!

Bought this as a decoration for my office. The bottle if well-made, with no visible seams anywhere.I was worried about it surviving international shipping, but it was packed very securely - a box inside Amazon's box, packed with bubble wrap, with the bottle wrapped inside even more bubble wrap.If I ever need a second container with infinite volume, I'll be sure to buy again from this seller. :)

If you don't know what a Klein Bottle is maybe this isn't for you, but if you are a fan of this fascinating mathematical object you can't do better than to get one of these. The shape is beautiful, the glass is high quality and the craftsmanship is superb.The bottle also came in interior packaging decorated with little hand drawn sketches and comments about the object inside. I'm keeping that.
