Interesting excercise for the bored.
Make one mobius strip from paper. When the glue has dried pierce in the centre of the width and then slit along until return to start of slit. An easy way to start the slit is to crease across width and make a small snip. What do you have? Possibly an article that got M C Escher thinking. Hold it such that it forms a near rectangle and see what I mean? Repeat the slitting with what you finished up with the first time. Now what have you got? Is this the kinda thing that happens when you increase the number of dimenions I wonder? |

It's a decrease in the number of dimensions. A mobius strip has only one side. An interesting flight for a pilot, I should imagine, every second time around the same route, you would find yourself upside down. |

The Moebius Strip only has one side [plus the one edge].
Could it be a "folding" of dimensions or of "dimensionality" itself perhaps? Regardless, it is a wonderfully ill-behaved, simple?? object to ponder. We really should make drive belts this way IMHO to last longer (but durability and long wear are likely not one of the "objectives" of many engineers). EDIT: Sweet GH! Moebius resistors and capacitors on that Wiki page! I hadn't read about those before, now I've got a few new patents to look up. Painter gave me a link about Leon Chua's "memristors", and here's a link about those and negative resistance. Weird science... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...ft=1&f=1007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance This post has been edited by dMole: May 12 2008, 11:38 PM |

That is what I was alluding to. QUOTE A mobius strip has only one side. I had kinda twigged that one lunk else I would not have gone through the exercise. |

Take two Mobius strips.
Fasten the two edges together along the whole length. What do you get? Yes I know it ain't physically possible but if you could...? |
