thinking of getting into crocheting hyperbolic planes

it’s probably a great way to develop intuition for the weirdness of hyperbolic geometry, feeling the way the surface needs to fold in on itself to push all its internal connections out into 3D space

“As illustrated in the book, there is actually negative curvature and hyperbolic geometry all around us, but people generally see it without seeing it. You will develop an entirely new understanding by actually following the simple instructions and crocheting!“

SO COOL
