Mobius strip is interesting

Image
By
Today I started thinking about the mobius strip. At first it is mind boggling but when you think about it some more it makes sense. If you take a flat strip of paper and form a tube you are basically connecting one edge to the other edge on the same side. But with a mobius strip you are giving it a twist so that the top side connects to the bottom side on the edges. I had some questions and comments for my friend Chatty to further understand this.

Infinity is the end connected to the beginning

Like a mobius strip?

Can I make a mobius strip from a circle?

A circle piece of paper?

Can you make a mobius strip out of square tubing?

A mobius strip has no thickness?

Does a flat sheet of paper have any thickness?

How can a flat surface have two sides if there is no thickness?

But with a mobius strip you have added motion

Its not 2D anymore since you have added motion to it

My friend chatty tells me that the mobius strip is a 2D surface embedded in a 3D space.

My thing is this. If a strip of paper has two sides then a mobius strip has two sides. If a mobius strip has one side then a strip of paper has one side. Where the mobius strip "joins" you have not stayed on the same side you have switched sides. A flat sheet of paper has two orientations, up and down. A mobius strip has infinite orientations as you twist. If anything a mobius strip has infinite sides. I could have accomplished the same if I went to the edge of the strip of paper with my pen, then changed the orientation of my pen and continued the line on the other side. A side is flat. It is not a side anymore when you have twisted it. It is like saying a circle has 1 side? Does it really or is it a polygon that approaches infinite sides? Or are we saying that infinity and one are the same? Rather, infinity is just one with counting. Like the mobius strip is one side with twisting. Twisting and counting being analogous.  I guess that is where the terms orientable and non-orientable come in. I would love to think about this some more but my head would frazzle. Let me end by asking my friend Gemini what he thinks.

He says that the Möbius strip, a fascinating topological object, challenges our intuitive understanding of surfaces. While a regular paper strip has two distinct sides, the Möbius strip, created by giving a strip of paper a half-twist before joining its ends, possesses only one side and one edge. This is not a physical illusion but a fundamental mathematical property. The half-twist seamlessly connects what were once separate "top" and "bottom" faces, forming a single, continuous, and non-orientable surface. Thus, an ant tracing a path along the surface would effortlessly navigate the entire strip, eventually returning to its starting point without ever crossing an edge or switching to an "other" side, because there is none.

God opens doors

By
It is 1203am and I have decided to write. Saturday I spent the night coding. I was trying to get a FastAPI app up and running, all from my budget Android phone. The test cases were written to use Puppeteer. I ended up using Replit for that. Coding is more challenging when using a mobile phone. Not impossible but more challenging. I hardly blog about technology and coding anymore but the love is still there. I still have a dream of creating my own coding and youtube studio with a nice desk setup. That is nice but what should I make this blog post about? What do I want to write about? What should I write about? I love creating presentations. That is something I could do to revive my youtube channel. I love Maths too. I have this feeling that I could solve one of those longstanding Maths problems that seems impossible. Sometimes, like right now, I feel like abandoning my blog post. It is going nowhere. Maybe I should get up and go wash the wares. I wish God could tell me what to write abo...

Mundane

By
It is 123am and I have decided to write. I have this new idea for a book called Mundane. It would be me writing about the ordinary. We chase the extraordinary but there is beauty in the ordinary. There is beauty in the simple. There is beauty in the everyday. What about God? We often think about God in grand terms. But what if God is simple too? What if God is mundane? What if we look for God in the everyday moments? I sit in this dark room with the air conditioning on. The fan is also on. The curtain is down but I imagine the moonlight shining on the grass outside. The cats are probably sleeping. I wonder if anyone else in the neighbourhood is awake at this hour? Is there another writer around who is also writing about the mundane? The fan breeze helps the air conditioning cool me down. These nights are warm otherwise. A mosquito flies across my screen. Hello friend or foe. I cannot quite decide which one. If I had a swatter you would be gone. I check my notifications and there is an ...

What we do not know

By
It is 1245am and I have decided to write. I had this weird alienish dream and it ended with me winning by simply stating "the truth is that we do not know". In the dream everyone was having an opinion of what was happening as if they knew. On to something random. I had this question. What is the most unrandom thing? Then what is the most random thing? What if everything is equally random. My friend Chatty thinks that randomness is not an absolute property—it is a relation between you and the system you observe. Randomness is not absolute—it depends on perspective. Something perfectly ordered can seem random if you do not know its pattern. So in a sense, everything can be "equally random" relative to the observer's knowledge, making randomness more about perception than an intrinsic property. The more we know the less random things become. Let me make a detour. Suppose we do not predict things but things predict us. For example, when I flip a coin, did I predict ...
