Its not that hared to understand. Just look at the outside surface of the bottle. Follow it to the bottom where it takes a curve and becomes the inside. Then follow the inside all the way up the narrow part to the top of the jar part.

Technically i don't think it's zero volume, but un undefined volume which would relate more to an infinite volume. It's like trying to find the area of a u. Because it's unbounded it has an undefined area.

its cool to look at , but I see NO practical use for this other than to make some shrink rich after someone with severe OCD gets hooked on it.

Well everyone the whole point of this is to confuse us of lesser intelect. If you look at the making part its all an optical illustion.
