In particular this is true for polygons. Emch's proof considers the curves traced out by the midpoints of secant line segments to the curve, parallel to a given line. He shows that, when these curves are intersected with the curves generated in the same way for a perpendicular family of secants, there are an odd number of crossings. Therefore, there always exists at least one crossing, which forms the center of a rhombus inscribed in the given curve. By rotating the two perpendicular lines continuously through a right angle, and applying the intermediate value theorem, he shows that at least one of these rhombi is a square [5]. In 1977 Herbert Vaughan proved thats any Jordan curve admits an inscribed rectangle by reducing the problem to the non-embeddability of the projective plane in $R^3$; his proof was published by Meyerson about 1980 [2] and 1981 [3].In this paper we start in the second section by begin with Herbert Vaughan’s work by defining the spaces of non-ordered line segments assigned with any Jordan curve and the plane and prove that any homeomorphism between two Jordan curves induces a homeomorphism between their respective segment spaces. In the third section,we define a segment-rotation function and prove it to be continuous and injective and define the embedding of any Jordan curve segment space into the plane's segment space and specifically for the unite circle, examine how the \textit{"square conditions"} is represented through intersections under rotation, and prove a property concerning homeomorphisms on any Jordan curve within the boundaries of the topological spaces under study. In the final section, we study the square inscribed in an ellipse, show that the intersections corresponding to this square are transversal, and prove a fundamental theorem regarding the impossibility of resolution of transversal intersections within the spaces under consideration. \section{Preparations} Lets have $\mathbb{R}^2$ plane equipped with Cartesian coordinates and Euclidean metric $||\, ||_2$ . Let have the unite circle with the center on the origin point of the plane. By the work of Herbert Vaughan [2] and [3] the non-ordered line segments of any Jordan curve including our unite circle is homeomorphic with Möbius band and the boundary of the band which represent the segments of length zero is corresponding to the curve homeomorphically. Lets give the symbol $M(S^1)$ for the non-ordered line segments space of the unite circle and $M(\gamma)$ for non-ordered line segments space for any other Jordan curve \begin{equation} M(\gamma)=\{[A,B] = [B,A] ; A,B\in \gamma \} \cong Mobius\, band \end{equation} For the space of non-ordered line segments of the plane we distinguish them by the coordinates of the middle point with the angle made between the segment and the positive direction of $x$-axis and half the length of the segment: \begin{equation} \begin{split} \{(x_m,y_m,\theta,t);(x_m,y_m)\in\mathbb{R}^2, 0\le \theta < 2\pi, 0< t < \infty \}\cup \\ \{(x_m,y_m,t);(x_m,y_m)\in\mathbb{R}^2, t=0 \} \end{split} \end{equation} but for non-ordered line segments we take quotient space for the angles $S^1/(\theta\sim\pi+\theta)\cong \mathbb{R}P^1$ which is $\mathbb{R}P^1\cong S^1$ [1] but with range [0,$\pi$) instead of [0,2$\pi$) : \begin{equation} \begin{split} M(\mathbb{R}^2)=\{(x_m,y_m,\theta,t);(x_m,y_m)\in\mathbb{R}^2, 0\le \theta < \pi, 0< t < \infty \}\cup \\ \{(x_m,y_m,t);(x_m,y_m)\in\mathbb{R}^2, t=0 \} \cong \mathbb{R}^2\times(\mathbb{R}^2)^*\sqcup\mathbb{R}^2 \end{split} \end{equation} which $(\mathbb{R}^2)^*$ is the punctured plane equipped with polar coordinates. The punctured plane is homeomorphic with the open on the circle $t=0$ by $0
