Are [-4,4] and (-3,3) open or closed in the topology τ = {∅} ∪ {u ⊆ ℝ : {-π,π} ⊆ u}?

[blbl]

Consider [-4,4] ... what do you think the answer should be? What is the definition of "open"? Does this set meet that definition?

 

[HallsofIvy]

consider (ℝ,τ) , where τ={∅}∪{u⊆ℝ:{-π,π}⊆u}.

What does this mean: "{-π,π}⊆u"? What is "π"? Does this simply mean that U is in the topology if and only if any time x is in U, -x is also? In that case, these questions are close to trivial!
