    About the video:
    Exploring the properties and other unexpected shapes that we get by cutting up some Mobius strips.
    This video is a lot more text heavy compared to most of my previous ones, however it's quite difficult to explain something in more depth without using a lot of words.
    Thanks for watching:)

    When I was little, I knew something happened when you cut a Möbius strip in half, but I didn’t know what, so as a child my brain defaulted to physics breaking.

  • @vpambs1pt

    Everything is on point, that's interesing! what if we cut in 4 pieces? would we have 2 Möbius strips, but each one "inside" the other?

    • @ThinkTwiceLtu
      @ThinkTwiceLtu  7 ปีที่แล้ว +393

      if we cut in 4 pieces, I think we would get 2 linked loops but i don't think that they would be mobius loops anymore because they would have an even number of turns on them therefore they would have 2 separate faces. correct me if i'm wrong

    • @vpambs1pt
      @vpambs1pt 7 ปีที่แล้ว +219

      I'm not a topologist and not even close to be a mathematician(still in high school), but I did it myselft with paper and adhesive tape haahaha, and at the end you are completely right, I just didn't understand how did you know that they'd have an even number of turns.
      It's nice to know that you're recovering and not at the hospital anymore, get better!!!

    • @jursamaj
      @jursamaj 6 ปีที่แล้ว +57

      For 4, the middle 1/2 is identical to a Möbius cut down the middle: double long, double twisted loop. The outer half is 1 piece due to the outer edge, but now has an inner edge, so it's the same: double long, double twisted loop. So the result is 2 pieces just like a Möbius cut down the middle, but half as wide.
      In fact, cutting any distance from the edge will yield a double long, double twisted loop. So for 1/N being the distance between cuts, you'll get int(N/2) double long, double twisted loops. If N is odd, you will also get a narrow Möbius down the centerline.

This was a wonderful video with smooth animations and tips/explanations. Thank you.

    I remember back when I first played on the Mario circuit shaped like a mobius strip in Mario kart 8, I was so confused on how the track worked at first, like it was in a shape of an 8 and you drive on both sides, it blew my mind on how it would work, then I tried to figure it out using my own pieces of paper and my mind blew up even more when I found out how it worked, and that’s when I learned about the mobius strip
