A mobius strip is an object with only one side. They can easaly be made by taking a strip of paper, giving it a half twist, then tape the ends together. If you were to take a pen or pencil and draw a continus line along this mobius strip (that you made), you would end up right where you started :shock: . Now if you sit there and try to reason how a 1 sided object can exist, you probaly wont get to far. Needless to say some people can find a mobius strip a little freaky.

 

 

 

I dont know about you but I can barly get beond a 1 sided object in a 3 dimensional world. If you grab the strip with 2 fingers (any 2, one will probaly be your thumb). On the 2 "different sides", you are actualy touching the same side with both fingers!

umm i dont understand, picture plz.

This is what philosophers call pseudo science.

 

 

 

 

 

A mobius strip does not represent what it is meant to. Think about it.

 

 

 

(you can skip this, to the interesitng bit)

 

 

 

Ok, get a strip of paper, about 8inches long, 1 thick roughly. Hold it in your hands with one finger or more on each side. You can run your fingers along it, because it still has two sides! Correct? Yes.

 

 

 

Then, grasp it at each end and twist one of your hands. The strip of paper should have one twist in it. Correct? Yes.

 

Now tape the two ends together.

 

You have a circular piece of paper with one twist. Correct? Yes.

 

 

 

The interesting bit-

 

Now place a finger on each side, and feel it. You still have two sides of paper, but the twist is simply a bridge connecting them, to enable one finger to run on both sides of the paper. Correct?

 

I think so!

Yeah, I've done this before. Anyways pretty much if you draw a straight line on the "One Side" you'll just be back where you started.

Edit: after thinking it through, i can safly say im looking at a 3D object. That bend, as some said, is a bridg, and gives the illusion of 2D

Yes you are looking at a 3D object. That is a picture taken with a camera, so the object you see is 3D even if that pictures not.

Steller....
