 Smale's paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In differential topology, Smale's paradox states that it is possible to turn a sphere inside out in 3-space with possible self-intersections but without creating any crease, a process often called sphere eversion.
The legend says that when Smale was trying to publish this result the referee's report stated that although the proof is quite interesting the statement is clearly wrong 'due to invariance of degree of the Gauss map'.

Interestingly, Smale's studies have revealed that Ikaros is targeted to foci of centromeric heterochromatin by DNA binding, suggesting that its function requires a direct interaction with repetitive DNA elements within murine centromeres.
Smale and his associates have also found that Ikaros initiates the silencing of specific genes during thymocyte development by directly binding their promoters.
Smale and his colleagues have also found that a specific member of the NF-kB family, c-Rel, is required for IL-12 expression in activated macrophages.
