[Перевод] Две скрученные фигуры разрешают многовековую топологическую загадку

Впервые математики обнаружили пример компактной кольцеобразной поверхности, которая имеет те же локальные геометрические характеристики, что и другая поверхность, несмотря на совершенно иную глобальную структуру..  Представьте, что наше небо всегда покрыто толстым слоем непрозрачных облаков.
