The Gaussian curvature is an intrinsic and important property of a surface. Planes, cylinders and cones all have zero Gaussian curvature, and this is why you can make a tube or a party hat out of a flat piece of paper. A sphere has a positive Gaussian curvature, and a saddle shape has a negative one, so you cannot make those starting out with something flat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
If you like pizza then you are probably intimately familiar with this theorem. That universal trick of bending a pizza slice so it stiffens up is a direct result of the theorem, as the bend forces the other direction to stay flat as to maintain zero Gaussian curvature on the slice. <a href="https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dgi-TBlh44gY&t=YzA0NDA5YzE4MDUxOTUzN2VkMjFmODVmYmFkZDc5MDgyNjk4NTQ3MyxiVXdlbFdXWQ%3D%3D&b=t%3A96e603bxw29GURgT1ECHHA&p=http%3A%2F%2F1ucasvb.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F150092108573%2Fcan-you-flatten-a-sphere-the-answer-is-no-you&m=1" style="color: #6699cc; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Here’s a Numberphile video</a> explaining it in more detail.</div>

However, there are several ways to <i style="outline: none;">approximate</i> a sphere as a collection of shapes you can flatten. For instance, you can project the surface of the sphere onto an icosahedron, a solid with 20 equal triangular faces, giving you what it is called the Dymaxion projection.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center; widows: 2;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
The problem with this technique is that you still have a sphere approximated by flat shapes, and not curved ones.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
One of the earliest proofs of the surface area of the sphere (4πr<sup style="outline: none;">2</sup>) came from the great Greek mathematician Archimedes. He realized that he could approximate the surface of the sphere arbitrarily close by stacks of <i style="outline: none;">truncated cones</i>. The animation below shows this construction.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center; widows: 2;">
<img alt="image" height="457" src="https://i.imgur.com/0YXX4UJ.gif" style="outline: none;" width="476" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
The great thing about cones is that not only they are curved surfaces, they also have zero curvature! This means we can flatten each of those conical strips onto a flat sheet of paper, which will then be a good approximation of a sphere.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
So what does this flattened sphere approximated by conical strips look like? Check the image below.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center; widows: 2;">

But this is not the only way to distribute the strips. We could also align them by a corner, like this:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: Calibri, sans-serf; font-size: 14.6667px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center; widows: 2;">

All of this is not exactly new, of course. In the limit, what you have is called a <a href="https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FPolyconic_projection&t=YjkzOTQ0MThiNmE5Yjg2YzhiZDA4MDA0NzYyZDM1ODFjZjBmNjJlNSxiVXdlbFdXWQ%3D%3D&b=t%3A96e603bxw29GURgT1ECHHA&p=http%3A%2F%2F1ucasvb.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F150092108573%2Fcan-you-flatten-a-sphere-the-answer-is-no-you&m=1" style="color: #6699cc; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">American polyconic projection</a>, which does require stretching in order to fill the gaps between the ending of the strips.

Back in 1999, a woman in California cleaned up rodent droppings in her home. Two weeks later, her liver started failing. Then she started to bleed internally — a hemorrhagic fever that would kill her. Eventually doctors found a new virus in her body, which very likely came from a rat.</div>

Bowker, a chemist and fashion designer, is known for her “high-fashion alchemy.” She’s previously created hue-shifting purses as well as other air sculptures that use science to produce a stunning visual effect. Now, she’s turning her attention towards color-changing hair dye that’s controlled by temperature—when there’s a dramatic spike or drop, the dye seemingly has a mind of its own...</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Avenir-Next; font-size: 18px;"> Each hue reacts to either bodily or environmental temperatures. Blushing, for instance, causes your body temperature to rise and as a result, a shift in color... Weather is also a factor.

thatched composites strike a pleasing visual chord through their careful
balance of negative and positive space. Created by LA-based artist <a href="http://www.katyanngilmore.com/" target="_blank">Katy Ann Gilmore</a>,
the organic geometric images are realized through a variety of
influences including mathematics, nature, and visual art. The tiny
latched shapes spread outward until final pieces emerge, looking like
hand-crafted topographic maps.<br />
<br />
Gilmore studied mathematics and visual arts, and the experience
gained in each field shines through in her unique style. Her layered,
two-dimensional drawings explore the concept of perpendicular planes and
the distortion of three-dimensional space. Some areas of the images
recede where others spring forward, creating the illusion of a finely
woven net gripping the land's curvature.<br />
<br />
Gilmore’s breathtaking work was initially inspired by a curiosity for
how 2D grids would look when warped in all directions, and how the
fluctuation of empty space around physical objects affects our
perception of solidity. Her work draws thousands of tiny elements
together to form beautiful realizations of mathematical concepts through

hopes that you’ll chuckle when you see one of their images. You aren’t
laughing at them, rather, but with them—these lighthearted photos are
meant to be hilarious. The unusual competition combines funny portraits
of animals with technical proficiency to showcase works that’ll have you
admiring nature’s beauty while smiling at its silliness." - <a href="http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/comedy-wildlife-photography-awards">http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/comedy-wildlife-photography-awards</a><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Almost every time I head out into the Dandenong Ranges (Melbourne, Australia) - at this time of year (autumn) - I find an<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Acanthanura</i>springtail. They are usually active on the surface on the surface on wet, mossy, logs: diurnally. Perhaps they are out at night too but it’s more difficult taking pictures at in the dark especially at high magnifications.

It was about 2.5 mm long (1/10 inch) and very quick, foraging on the surface of the log, not cryptically like most collembola, but openly. Do the spines and colours scream ‘<i>don’t eat me</i>’ even for something this small?"</span></div>
