A simple closed curve which fails to pierce a disc at only one point

A simple closed curve J is constructed in R³ which fails to pierce a disc at only one point. The intersections of various surfaces in R³ are investigated to prove that J has the desired property. Heavy use is made of approximation of surfaces in R³ with polyhedral surfaces. J is used to construct s...
