Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Reveals His Unique Obsession With This Weird Object: 'Many Of The Best Things... Aren't Super Functional But They Are Cool'
Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple Inc. on Monday shared his unique fascination with a mathematical object, known as the Klein bottle.
苹果公司联合创始人史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克周一分享了他对一个名为克莱因瓶的数学物体的独特迷恋。
What Happened: Wozniak took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared a photo of himself holding a Klein bottle from Acme, saying that he has also bought a small Klein bottle earring for his wife Janet Hill.
发生了什么：沃兹尼亚克在 X（前身为 Twitter）上分享了一张自己拿着 Acme 的 Klein 瓶子的照片，他说他还为妻子珍妮特·希尔买了一只克莱因瓶装小耳环。
"I bought a Klein bottle from Acme Klein Bottles. Many of the best things in my life, that got me here, aren't super functional but they are cool," he said, adding, "I also bought a small Klein bottle earring for Janet."
“我从 Acme Klein Bottles 那里买了一个 Klein 瓶子。我一生中许多最美好的东西，让我来到这里，虽然不是超级实用，但很酷。” 他补充说，“我还为珍妮特买了一只小巧的克莱因瓶装耳环。”

What Is Klein Bottle: The Klein bottle is a significant concept in the field of topology, a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of space that are preserved under continuous transformations. The Klein bottle, named after the German mathematician Felix Klein, is a non-orientable surface that cannot be constructed in three-dimensional Euclidean space.
什么是 Klein Bottle：Klein bottle 是拓扑学领域的一个重要概念，拓扑学是研究在连续变换下保留的空间特性的数学分支。克莱因瓶以德国数学家费利克斯·克莱因的名字命名，是一个不可定向的表面，无法在三维欧几里得空间中建造。
To put it simply, if a a tiny ant crawls on the surface of a Klein bottle, it could go all around and end up back at the starting point, without ever encountering an inside or an outside. It's a bit mind-bending, like a shape that plays tricks on your perception.
简而言之，如果一只小蚂蚁爬到克莱因瓶子的表面，它可能会四处走动，最终回到起点，而不会遇到里面或外面。它有点令人费解，就像一个欺骗你感知的形状。
Why It Matters: In the comment section, some people were happy to see Wozniak in good health. Last year in November, the Apple co-founder was reportedly hospitalized in Mexico City. As per the reports, he complained about "feeling strange" and fainted, after which he was taken to a local hospital.
为什么重要：在评论部分，有些人很高兴看到沃兹尼亚克身体健康。据报道，去年11月，苹果联合创始人在墨西哥城住院。根据报道，他抱怨 “感觉奇怪” 并晕倒了，之后他被送往当地一家医院。
In 1976, Wozniak, alongside Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, established Apple. He played a crucial role in designing the company's initial creations, including the Apple I and Apple II computers, and also contributed to the development of the Macintosh.
1976年，沃兹尼亚克与史蒂夫·乔布斯和罗纳德·韦恩一起创立了苹果。他在设计公司最初的作品（包括Apple I和Apple II电脑）中发挥了至关重要的作用，还为Macintosh的开发做出了贡献。
He frequently hailed as the innovator within the Apple duo, contrasting with Jobs' reputation for marketing prowess. Wozniak departed from the company in 1985, expressing that it constrained his potential and caused considerable frustration.
他经常被誉为苹果二人组中的创新者，这与乔布斯在营销实力方面的声誉形成鲜明对比。沃兹尼亚克于1985年离开公司，表示这限制了他的潜力，并引起了极大的挫败感。
