Well, since theres a remote possibility for a particle to pass through another one, according to quantum mechanics, you could create a material with that property. Also, space-time can be warped and folded. What if you have a 2d space and for some reason want to turn it inside out, or prove that it can behave in that way.
Here we have a 2d plane folded in 3d to create a sphere. What if we have a 3d volume folded in 4d space-time to form a 4d equivalent of a sphere? Then this proves that such a thing could be turned inside-out!
ow my brain
I want to see this on a 3DS in 3D.
Let's turn the universe inside out!

It's science. Someone in the future may need the knowledge we gained from this - directly or indirectly.

That's not really the point.
There's one theorem that states that you can cut a sphere into a finite number of pieces and reassemble them into two new spheres the same size as the original. Just because it's only possible mathematically, and you don't see people doubling how many spheres of gold they have and becoming super-rich, doesn't mean it isn't interesting.
