A 21-minute animation showing how a sphere can be turned inside out without creases or tears, known as sphere eversion.
Linked as a classic visualization when sphere eversion or counterintuitive mathematics comes up.

Sort of a tangent, but here's a 20m video explaining how to invert a sphere without tearing it: ▶ this video
Here are two classic youtube videos on the topic of sphere eversion; they mostly overlap, but I am posting both for double the hilarity in the comment sections :) (the full 21 minute one) ▶ this video (the first 10 minutes) link If I remember correctly, I think the 10 minute one has the more hilarious comment section.
> 19. Given a solid ball in 3‑dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the ball into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can then be put back together in a different way to yield two identical copies of the original ball. While you're at it, you can completely turn that sphere inside out without creating any holes or creases[1]. [1] ▶ this video
