= Minimax eversion
{wiki=Minimax_eversion}
Minimax eversion is a fascinating concept in the field of topology, specifically in the area of differential topology and geometric topology. It refers to a process of turning a disk inside out in a way that minimizes the maximum amount of "stretching" or "distortion" that occurs during the transformation. In more technical terms, eversion means taking a two-dimensional disk and continuously deforming it such that the inside of the disk becomes the outside, without any creases or cuts.
