What’s the point of a Möbius strip? Other than being a cool shape, why/how is it important and what does it help us understand?
In: Mathematics
One of the interesting aspects of shapes that extends far beyond the study of shapes is that we can use them to represent thejr properties.
For example, we use cubes to represent 6 equal possibilities (like in a dice!) or to represent a single unit of 3d space.
We can use Mobius strips to represent things with one side that are still embedded into a higher order.
Such as the imaginary number I, or the state of quantum particles
