Athanasius Kircher said the world is bound with secret knots: and Kelvin thought atoms were knots in the ether (or rather the æther). In college I was hoping that elementary particles would turn out to be little 3-manifolds… why knot? Cris On Oct 8, 2015, at 12:01 PM, Dave Dyer <ddyer@real-me.net> wrote:
