By the Fox's re-embedding theorem, any compact submanifold of the 3-sphere
can be re-embedded in the 3-sphere so that it is unknotted. It is unknown
whether the Fox's re-embedding can be replaced with twistings. In this paper,
we will show that any closed 2-manifold embedded in the 3-sphere can be
unknotted by twistings. In spite of this phenomenon, we show that there exists
a compact 3-submanifold of the 3-sphere which cannot be unknotted by twistings.
This shows that the Fox's re-embedding cannot always be replaced with
twistings.
