OK so some mathematicians thought up a puzzle and set about solving it.
Are there any real world applications to this?

Maybe if you can find some material that can pass through itsself...
I'd like to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my ass.

When you try applying it to theoretical physics when dealing with energy, black holes, quantum particles, or other such things that behave just a bit differently than we suspected then it might be very useful.

A lot of field physics follows a related ruleset, with certain rules about looping. As our control over EM fields and things like the casmir effect become more subtle, this kind of puzzle solving will become more important for engineers.
