I.S.S. in the Realworld/Some Sphere Theory

Forgive the grab bag of things presented today, but these two very different Sphaeralogical issues came to us at around the same time.  Interestingly, they both were sent in by our friend John R., a dedicated Sphaeralogist.



The first is a series of links that present the theory of Poincaré's conjecture.  A complex mathematical theorem that helps to discribe spheres in 3-dimesional space.  At least that's how the small minds at the I.S.S. understood it.  Feel free to explore for yourself:

The second was an I.S.S. in the Real World sighting of our friend Chris, wearing his Galaxy Tee proudly at the fine establishment, Cappy's, in Pittsburgh, PA.




Both great Super Ball moments.
