This actually is a stupid question
Well, that’s the whole idea of this community, isn’t it?
If a question is structured such that it’s unanswerable you’ve got a stupid question on your hands.
Everybody knows that “no stupid questions” means you’re not supposed to be embarrassed by asking something you don’t know.
But when you show up asking a specifically unanswerable question, you’re just a troll. Yes a harmless troll but it’s just trolling; it’s just time wasting.
I’d ask the inverse. What definition of “inside” can you apply to a traditional bottle–so as to say that a ship is inside the bottle–that could not also be applied to a Klein bottle? Both of them have a single opening that leads to an enclosed, dead-ended volume.
A Klein bottle may only have one surface, and therefore you can argue it has no topological inside. But a traditional bottle is topologically equivalent to a flat disc, so the same logic would say you can’t put a ship inside one of those either.
Once you put a cork in the neck of the bottle, it is no longer a disc and can contain other objects.
True, but can’t you cork a Klein bottle just as easily?
