People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Why does following a tangent vector field visit all faces of the hypercube? Surely it's not going to visit something like a dense subset of the hypersphere's surface? (Or is it? My intuition comes from thinking about the torus)
I'm more interested in the maths ;)
My topology and maths are very rusty, am a software developer these days.
I think that there are both tangent vector fields that don't and some that do. In the two dimnsional case (circle) certainly all do.
In n I intuitively would say that you should be able to have a vector field that does but I am now less confident to think about a proof on my bus rides while I answer here. I tried twice already.
I will try to think about this more, will ping here if I get more
