Description
This programme looks at 3 objects from the topological zoo which run counter to our intuition. The first is a space which, although it is not path connected, is not disconnected either. The second ...is a famous space filling curve - a line which touches every point in a square. The third is a 'wild embedding' of the sphere - the Alexander horned sphere.
