The Origin of Turn Science

TLDRThis video explores the origin of turn science and its importance in physics, focusing on the euler characteristic and the gauss-bonnet theorem.

Key insights

🔍The euler characteristic is a topological invariant that represents the sum of odd beta numbers.

🌐The gauss-monnette theorem states that the integral of curvature over a closed manifold is equal to the euler characteristic.

📝By choosing a vector field with isolated singularities, we can prove the generalized gauss-bonnet theorem.
