Synopsis
A vibrant computer animation introduces the concept of hyperbolic space. Not Knot investigates the relationship between knots and their complements, which exist in a different geometric structure. Recent mathematical theorems reveal that many of these complements reflect hyperbolic geometry, where the sum of a triangle's angles is always less than 180 degrees. The film runs for 17 minutes and was released in 1990.
