Mobius Strip Transformation Symmetry - Topology

[kitefrog]

There's a book called topology that talks about the twists after = 2N +2. Where N is the number of twists before. ~I forget the title.

[relike868p]

Which paper do you find that 13 flips give 28 twists after cutting in half?

(I mean the M = 2n+2 formula, which appears on Wikipedia, but there is no source for that)

Exellent. You have some great ideas- I would never look for the center of gravity for the pattern.

i don't know what do he want to do ????????????

[glowingdarkmatter25]

i love math, but it hates me. This is bizarre, but cool.

[TheAlansonTobias]

good job nice way to prepare information :)

[thetommantom]

I had to do this, I just found this video and started watching it now, 819

[melman2004]

you should write a 3 dimensional surface animation program to clearly see the intersections. it seems like your comparing your home made origami to a field equation. 

[OwnedOver9000]

Amazing!!!!

[kitefrog]

yes, thanks zyxon, I was premature and excited.

[mike6789k]

hahaha, thats what he said!

[zyxon]

When you flatten the strip, you can have the loops be any of an infinite amount of sizes relative to one another which affects the balance, meaning the string is not a proof of its symmetry.

the 1st time you get laid ,all of this crap will go into the bin and stay there !!

[AmericanDiaz]

rofl, yeah and then he is doomed.

[musikeo]

hahahahahah

[KevlarHeart86]

i'm a little weirded out by the fact that this seems a bit obvious to me... math is not my strong suit

[starlite528]

would be nice if the video was oriented properly

[brawlmaster427]

now my head hurts, but this really helped me

[mattmartmale]

life's about to change...

[tilfrie]

nice one, you remind me of me.

smart thinking though...

[Blockup5]

Balliiiiiiiiiiin

[JosvanEgmond]

Connecting gravitation centers with a flattened moebius band... very spiffy.

Next, try it with Umbilic Torusses :D.

[Newsfop]

I saw you explain it completely and I still don't understand how it all works. That mobius is such a wonky inception. How can so many complexities come out of something so simple? My mind is seriously blown.

[ZombieJesusBrainz]

hey kitefrog..... keep up the work!

[kitefrog]

I'm bipolar, in a manic stage I'm creative with big ideas. This work came out of my last mania that last 6 weeks. I could spend 9 to 12 hours straight making paper models and studying the resulting graph theory. Unfortunately, it remains and open problem in math to count how many resulting eulerian ciruits that result in the graphs created from the paper models. VEry stranfe stuff. I'm not working on it now, just studing graph theory

[thedelta88]

very cool. do u just do that in your free time?

[NIGHTMARE1293]

my head hurts now thanx =)

[endotoxic]

congratulations, actually is hard to make that.

Must find a good use for that
