“... Klein Bottle, topological space named for German mathematician Felix Klein, obtained by identifying two ends
of a cylindrical surface in direction opposite that is necessary to obtain a torus. The surface is not constructible
in three-dimensional Euclidean space, but has interesting properties, such, being one-side, like Mobius strip;
being closed, yet having no 'inside' like a torus or a sphere ...” (encyclopedia „New Britanica“)
