Fun with Topology

| Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | What I don't know about Topology would fill a large book on topology, but I enjoy the odd little demo now and then. The other day I hastily made a Mobius strip with the leftover strip from a desk calculator. It was perfect because it's printed on one side and blank on the other. I demonstrated how it only has one surface, then I snipped it lengthwise. The reaction is always priceless. I really should learn to explain why that happens. Try it. If you do, then snip it lengthwise again. You may be surprised. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Thanks. That's a lot more illuminating (literally) I know topology is not just good for parlor games, but it does succeed at it. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
