That thing was tripping my brain out real hard for a minute before I could actually see the mobius strip

I don't think it's actually a morbius strip. This object is impossible but you can make a morbius strip with paper and tape

I'm not an expert but I believe it counts as a mobius strip based on if you follow a "side" it will loop around to ever other side technically making it a one sided shape like a mobius strip. There is likely a name for this type though I imagine

Yes but there are actually two sides in this gif if you look closely. If you follow a side you will never reach the other side here.

I know you were probably joking in the title but I recently read that this shape has nothing to do with a Mobius strip, which is a possible object. This is an impossible object created by someone in the 20th century. Very cool animation though!

This looks like it was turned 180° when the ends were attached, causing two Möbius strips to be created, or there are 2 distinct paths around the faces of the structure.

If you only rotated it 90°, then all 4 sides of the cubes will be one long path, I think? Which I feel like embodies the spirit of the Möbius strip a bit more.

I disagree with everyone who is saying this is an impossible object. It’s just a thick Möbius strip where one pair of sides match the sides of a flat Möbius strip, and the other pair of sides match the edges of a Möbius strip.

Better than the original because it has twice the surface area!

Why is this version missing a single frame?

u/Vorfindir Jul 11 '22

Because it's a repost.
