+\begin{refproof}{thm:taudminimal:help}
+    Suppose towards a contradiction that
+    $Y \times S^1$ contains a proper minimal subflow $Z$.
+    Consider the projection $\pi\colon Y \times S^1 \to Y$.
+    By minimality of $Y$, we have $\pi(Z) = Y$.
+    Note that for every $\theta \in S^1$, $\theta \cdot  Z$ is minimal,
+    so either $\theta \cdot  Z = Z$ or $(\theta \cdot  Z)\cap Z = \emptyset$.
+
+    Let $H = \{\theta \in S^1 : \theta \cdot  Z = Z\}$.
+    $H$ is a closed subgroup of $S^1$.
+    % H is a rotation of Z containing 1 (?)
+    Therefore either $H = S^1$ (but in that case $Z = Y \times S^1$),
+    or there exists $m \in \Z$ such that $H = \{ \xi \in S^1 : \xi^m = 1 \}$
+    by \yaref{fact:tau1minimal}.
+
+    Note that if $(y, \beta) \in Z$ then for $t \in S^1$,
+    we have
+    \[
+        (y, \beta \cdot  t) \in  Z \iff t^m = 1.
+    \]
+    Therefore for every $y \in Y$, there are exactly $m$ many
+    $\xi \in S^1$
+    such that $(y, \xi) \in Z$.
+
+    Specifically for all $y$ there exists $\beta^{(y)} \in S^1$
+    such that $(y,\xi) \in Z$ iff
+    \[
+        \xi \in  \{\beta^{(y)} \cdot  t_1, \beta^{(y)} \cdot  t_2, \ldots,\beta^{(y)} \cdot  t_m\},
+    \]
+    where the $t_i \in S^1$
+    are such that
+    $t_i^m = 1$ for all $i$ and $i \neq j \implies t_i \neq t_j$,
+    i.e.~the $t_i$ are the $m$\textsuperscript{th} roots of unity.
+
+    Consider $f \colon  (y,\xi) \mapsto (y, \xi^m)$.
+    Since $(\beta^{(y)} \cdot  t_i)^m = (\beta^{(y)})^m$
+    we get a continuous\todo{Why is this continuous?}
+    function $\phi\colon Y \to S^1$
+    such that
+    \[
+    Z = \{(y,\xi) \in Y \times S^1 : \xi^m = \phi(y)\}.
+    \]
+    % namely
+    % \begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
+    %     \phi\colon Y &\longrightarrow & S^1 \\
+    %     y &\longmapsto & \beta^{(y)}.
+    % \end{IEEEeqnarray*}
+
+    Note that $f(Z)$ is homeomorphic to $Y$.\todo{Why?}
+
+    \begin{claim}
+        $\phi(S(y)) = \phi(y) \cdot  (\sigma(y))^m$.
+    \end{claim}
+    \begin{subproof}
+        We have $T(y, \xi) = (S(y), \sigma(y) \cdot \xi)$
+        (cf.~\yaref{rem:l20:sigma}).
+        $Z$ is invariant under $T$.
+        So for $(y, \xi) \in Z$ we get $T(y, \xi) = ({\color{red}S(y)}, {\color{blue}\sigma(y) \cdot  \xi}) \in Z$.
+        Thus
+        \begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
+            \phi({\color{red}S(y)}) &=& ({\color{blue}\sigma(y) \cdot \xi})^m\\
+                                    &=& (\sigma(y))^m \cdot \xi^m\\
+                                    &=& (\sigma(y))^m \cdot  \phi(y).
+        \end{IEEEeqnarray*}
+    \end{subproof}
+    Applying $\gamma$ we obtain
+    \[
+        [\phi \circ S \circ \gamma] = [\phi \circ \gamma] + [x \mapsto (\sigma(\gamma(x))^n].
+    \]
+    $S\circ \gamma$ is homotopic to $\gamma$,
+    so $[\phi \circ S \circ \gamma] = [\phi \circ \gamma]$.
+    Thus $[x \mapsto (\sigma(\gamma(x))^n] = 0$,
+    but that is a contradiction to (b) $\lightning$
+\end{refproof}
