Theorem of the Week: Hairy Ball Theorem
This is a fun theoerm to read up. What does the Hairy Ball Theorem state and give one application of this theorem.
It states that given a ball with hairs all over it, it is impossible to comb the hairs continuously and have all the hairs lay flat. Some hair must be sticking straight up!
The Earth is approximately a ball, and at each point on the surface, wind has a direction. It follows from the theorem that there is always a place where the air is perfectly still.
