<strong>Poincare</strong> <strong>Conjecture</strong> <strong>Proof</strong>H. Vic DannonA manifold is Simply-Connected iffany loop in it is contractible to a point.For instance, on the 2-dimensional sphere, any loop is contractibleto a point.On the other hand, the 2-dimensional Torus surface has loops thatcan not be contracted to a point.A non-self-intersecting curve homeomorphic to a loop, may not bedeformed into a loop, and we do not consider it a loop.For instance, a non-self-intersecting figure-eight is homeomorphicto a loop, but in the confinement of two dimensions, it cannot bedeformed into a loop.Three dimensions are required to twist, unknot, and deform thefigure-eight into a loop.Similarly, the following knotis homeomorphic to a loop, but cannot be deformed into a loop in4
