  • You know what, that was really cool. I’ve never seen anything like that.
  • Thanks to the authors, super-enjoyable and bookmarked. Part of plenty of good stuff.
  • Probably junk science, But I like this attempt to describe the electron via möbius twisted em fields.

  • Here's the reason you need enginners in the universe. Yes, the strip has non-orientability. Howwever, just introduce spin about the center, as you would a wheel, and you get all the same benefits of orientation as long as you're not in a completely empty void in space. Upside sees constantly changing, inside sees the other side of the strip.
  • What are you saying should spin? The particle moving along the Mobius strip, or the Mobius strip itself?
  • I think you are saying something interesting. Could you elaborate a little though because I am not quite getting you yet hooked to understand what you are saying.
  • I enjoyed reading this. I have been making my way through Needham's Visual Complex Analysis (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/visual-complex-analy...) book which takes a similar visual-focused view of teaching all of complex analysis. Chapter 2 in particular covers multivalue functions and branch points to make a similar point about how some paths will yield different values at same points.
  • Needham is great and his Visual Differential Geometry and Forms is excellent.
