Klein Bottle Opener

The problem of beer  That it is within a ‘bottle’, i.e. a boundaryless compact 2-manifold homeomorphic to the sphere.  Since beer bottles are not (usually) pathological or “wild” spheres, but smooth manifolds, they separate 3-space into two non-communicating regions: inside, containing beer, andoutside, containing you.  This state must not remain.

A proposed solution  Clearly the elegant course is to introduce a non-orientable manifold, which has one side and does not divide 3-space.  When juxtaposed with the beer-bounding manifold described above, it acts to disrupt the continuity thereof, canceling the outdated paradigm of distinction between interior and exterior.  This enables the desired interaction between beer and self.

Q E D  You need one.
