Wow, discovering and ultimately unmasking the hacker is a great story.
And from the end of the Wikipedia article:
Stoll sells blown glass Klein bottles on the internet through his company Acme Klein Bottles. He stores his inventory in the crawlspace underneath his home in Oakland, California, and accesses it when needed with a homemade miniature robotic forklift.
I believe you may be mistaken on the claim he didnt make them. Theres a good few videos floating around of him blowing the glass on numberphile. The Wikipedia just says he keeps the stock in his house.
Even if it might be the shape of the universe? How could that be bad!
Have you looked at the universe lately?
So that guy obssessed with making and storing glass klein bottles under his houses crawlspace might be creating thousands of universes? Neat!
Cliff Stoll
He didn’t make them, btw. He ordered a giant batch years ago, so the unit price was acceptable.
He also has quite an interesting life story

Cool! Thank you for digging up that video I appreciate it :)
I’m no astrophysicist but I’m guessing we know about enough to determine that every shape might be the shape of the universe
