Now it is quite bizarre to the mind, how you can take a set of circles
which includes the latitude circles of the North Pole to the Equator
and form a hemisphere, and yet with that very same set of circles form
a 1/2 Pseudosphere.
What defies our intuition is that if we had a set of hoola-hoops as
latitudes with the largest being the Equator and the smallest close
to the North Pole. What defies our intuition is that we nest those
hoops and gain a hemisphere of a sphere, but the only way we can
gain a Pseudosphere is that if the nesting of the hoops were to be
somewhat submerged or enclosed inside the previous hoop to gain that
negative curvature.
But we all know that circles are not enclosed or submerged to form the
sphere and pseudosphere from the very same set of circles.
So why does this construction defy our intuition and commonsense?
