The poincaré conjecture

I’ve been trying to understand this a lot recently and maybe an explanation from another person would help. Thanks 🙂

(Just explaining what it asks and how to go about learning about it would be greatly appreciated)

[Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincar%C3%A9_conjecture). If you look at the top of the article, it states the conjecture with each word hyperlinked to explain what it means. I’d use that as a way to “learn about it”.

It basically says that any “[blob](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Ricci_flow.png/200px-Ricci_flow.png)” or 3D surface that doesn’t have any holes in it, or any edges, is equivalent to a sphere, from a mathematical point of view.
