A two-fold branched cover of my apartment

I am Henry sagermann so that'll be nice to have a bit more space so I upgraded to a two full branch cover of my apartment so if you look around you can see well there's a lot of space if you look straight up you can see there's something sort of strange going on with the ceiling so the way it works is you drop a vertical line down from the ceiling it's called the branch set and you kind of unroll everything around that line so that now there's two copies of everything so there's twice as much space there's two copies of all the furniture so well I left my laptop over here on the other couch and see all my books over there on the other coffee table there we go there's just one small problem which is the the branch set itself probably don't want to put your hand into it yeah I better not it's probably not safe

I didn't know YouTube had this technology. I thought it was just a video of the floor for a long time. I don't know what happens if you're not on mobile, but I got a VR thing going on here.

People, this is a tricky video. Make sure you follow him as he goes to get his laptop, by panning the video with your mouse or whatever.

I got ripped off. My landlord promised me my apartment had a large fundamental group, but when I computed its topology, I found it was simply connected!

At least it's not contractible.

Pause, then immediately rotate 180 degrees. There's some stuff that didn't get cleaned up near the beginning.

Dr. Segerman is hilarious.

This guy is awesome. When I was in grad school, I had the office he used to occupy; he'd left all kinds of cool math art he made in the office. The highlight was an image of the the disc with the hyperbolic metric isometrically tiled with the words "Poincare disk"...
