Mobius Strip




This is a mobius strip.
it was discovered by...yes its obvious..
No! not jhonny.
by mobius...some ancient greek guy.
out of the many things, one thing is that its cool.
the really cool thing about it is that,
imagine urself walking on one of its surfaces, u'll end up on the other side eventually. that is to say u can move from one side of the paper to the other side without having to make a hole in it. now that is cool. how? dont ask.
now if a litrerian was told about such a thing, heres wat he would probably have to say.."now that is utterly amazing. How deep a sense it signifies. I beleive it stands for the confluence of the two faces of a persons persona. It depicts how there is a smooth transition between the dark and the bright, how they r inseprable."

now thats just making too many inferences. litrerians have this tendency of drawing too many conclusions, blowing things out of proportions. why, im not even sure litrerian is the right word to use. applies equally to psychologists. Freud et.al.its an attempt to hide the second fiddle they r palying.And how many of us aren't litrerians or psychologists? mobius discovered it give him credit for his art, genious whatever. innivation is art, all else is skill.

dont squeeze an orange expecting it to be a watermelon. orange tastes alot better.

Reminds me of many things, the Mobius Strip:

1. 1/2 spin particles
2. Stephen Hawking ki kitaab, from where I learned about the above.
3. MTH101 and the lady professor who took the course.
4. Giggling bastards who found it very enlightening. It was very enlightening waise.

You may have meant litterateur, I guess. Any way, why would anyone think I invented the bloody thing?

as for u having discovered it..someone really silly wud say that. yes. cheap entertainment i guess. bhawnaon ko samjho.

dija pay attention to the last 2 lines?? cryptic.

@puthali
yeah it does. sorry wasnt clear enuf...inconsistancy between thoughts and writing. :)
wat i meant was the paper before being made into a mobius strip. now that has two sides. i stand corrected.twice. :)



the mobius strip indeed is a wonder mathematically. strikes u head on. but unfortunately the post isnt abt that, where as it shud.

litrerian....haha, and a litterateur is a writer.

Sameer said...

Joychaser said...

the best of them only try to understand, like the best of everybody else. relevant epiphanies are rare.
