So that guy obssessed with making and storing glass klein bottles under his houses crawlspace might be creating thousands of universes? Neat!
Cliff Stoll
He didn't make them, btw. He ordered a giant batch years ago, so the unit price was acceptable.
He also has quite an interesting life story
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Stoll
Wow, discovering and ultimately unmasking the hacker is a great story.
And from the end of the Wikipedia article:
I want to know more about this!
E: found it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=111&v=-k3mVnRlQLU
I believe you may be mistaken on the claim he didnt make them. Theres a good few videos floating around of him blowing the glass on numberphile. The Wikipedia just says he keeps the stock in his house.
That's not Cliff blowing the bottle.
Here's the video where he tells the story on how he had to comission thousands of them:
