Human Body's True Holes: Science Reveals Surprising Topological Count!
- •Common perception of body holes (mouth, nose, ears) is scientifically incorrect.
- •Topology defines a 'hole' as a continuous passage, like a donut or a straw, not just a pit.
- •The human body, topologically, has 7 main 'through-and-through' holes: one from mouth to anus, two nostrils, and four lacrimal puncta.
- •Ear canals, skin pores, and kidneys are not considered true holes as they are not continuous passages.
- •Women might have an eighth hole (vagina/uterus/fallopian tubes), but its 'through-and-through' nature is debated by scientists.
Why It Matters: The human body, viewed through topology, has a surprising 7 (or 8) 'through-and-through' holes, challenging common beliefs.
