So, mathstodon. Something a little lighter since it's Sunday and all that. What's your favourite maths fact?

Bonus points if it's incredibly trivial! 😊

@mrlyonsmaths that's impossible to answer - there are way to many great math results. But

Among nontrivial things: the fact that geometry can be used to study group theory discovered by Gromov. various dualities, Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, the fact that homeomrphic but not diffeomorphic manifolds exist.

Among trivial but useful things: Eckmann–Hilton argument.
