Corrections: (1) A basketball actually has a 2*2 symmetry. (2) The defining characteristic of the "X" is really the orbifold has a mobius band / cross cap, not the number of glide reflections.
This video rules. It’s funny how the math of symmetry is so interesting, yet symmetry itself looks boring in reality. Well, symmetry is still important, but if we show perfect symmetry, f.ex the frontal view of the human face, it looks boring.
Oh, you then should check out my other UA-cam channel. I've made four videos this year: www.youtube.com/@ItsJustAstronomical. That's my more popular channel. This channel is for more nerdy niche topics.

I came across this orbifold notation before. Thank you for illuminating them.
Really appreciate the effort that went into this!

Bro I've been waiting for months for another Paul Merrell video

9:30 two times two too many two's
Another Paull Merrell video 🎉
