A huge thank you to Dr Mobius.
For those unfamiliar with this stripe it is technically a one dimensional surface (a mathematical construct) not a 2D object. To make your own, simply take a strip of paper, put a half twist into it, and then tape or glue the ends together.
Trace around an edge and you’ll find that your finger moves from the inside out. The same thing happens when you follow a surface. This is why many conveyor belts have a half twist, ensuring that wear is even on both sides.
There are a lot of interesting things about the Mobius strip, but here is one that is really interesting. He draws a line in the center of the surface and then cuts along it. You’ll find that you still have one strip but you’ve introduced 2 extra half twists, so there are now 3. The strip therefore retains all of its original properties.
So? The stripe is a great metaphor for spreading knowledge. The more you spread it you find that it doesn’t lose its value and you, the source, may even increase yours.
Keep it to yourself and the knowledge is worthless even though it might boost your ego.
Think about it, sharing is good for you, and don’t forget to look up all the cool things you can do with a Mobius strip.
Let your knowledge work for you…
