There does not exist an everywhere Nonzero tangent Vector Field on the 2-Sphere . This implies
that somewhere on the surface of the Earth,
there is a point with zero horizontal wind velocity. The theorem
can be generalized to the statement that the
-sphere
has a nonzero tangent vector field Iff
is Odd.
