Mathematicians are weird

I just HAVE to say that this is the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my wiki-surfing.


Hairy Ball Theorem!



Its about the study of surfaces!
Essentially, with a sphere with lines poking out evenly (hairy ball), by combing the hairs flat you will create regions on the surface with different hair densities.
So the ball will have more hair on some spots, and less hair on other spots, with the roots of the hairs evenly spaced out!



What were you thinking?? It's just a hairy ball!
