The Klein Bottle. A 3 dimensional object, with one surface.

Is the klein bottle a valid explanation of the fourth dimension?

Now find the surface area. psyduck;

it has an infinite surface area

Why not?
You start at one ring around it, then measure the path along the surfaces until you reach the same ring again psyduck;

why would it be

how do you figure that? psyduck;
it can be constructed (well, closely emulated at the very least given that the self-intersection presents a problem) with a finite amount of material, thus it has a finite surface area psyduck;

it's not all that different from a mobius strip; it's just something with no distinction between the inside and outside, not a representation of the fourth dimension what the christ psyduck;

No. That's like saying MC Escher's work is a valid explanation for string theory.
