[Mb-hair] The Infinity Symbol above the "I" in HAIR

[Little Birdie]

Dear Dagmar,

Thanks very much for the photo of Anton's wonderful sculpture. The mobius is 
an endlessly fascinating thing - you can do great things with it in knitting 
too. Also interesting is that if you take that paper mobius you talked about 
making, insert a scissors midway in the 3 inch width and cut the long way 
around you don't wind up with two one-and-a-half inch mobius' but one mobius 
that is twice as long as the original one. One can keep cutting it in half 
again and again but it still goes on, in theory forever. The perfect symbol 
for infinity and the perfect symbol for Hair.

Nina

>(which you probably can find on the Internet!)

>Anton (my hubby, the artist) has been creating  moebius variations for many
>years.
>it is an intriguing shape!

>
>you take a strip of paper, about 1 foot long, 3" wide.
>Easy to see that it has TWO surfaces
>
>lay it flat, pick it up at both ends and give it one twist,
>then attach the two ends to each other with tape.
>NOW: Follow the surface with your finger. What happened to the two
>surfaces?
>Surprise: They are now ONE.
>Your finger can go round and round inside and out, in-de-finitely...
>What do we have here? A moebius.

>This could open up a whole wonderful series of interpretations and
>philosophical
>explanations.

>Have fun
