Before "detect"
)Depends what you mean by “surface” and “side”. Is a solid donut torus a surface with only one side?
No it is a solid donut torus.
Out of curiosity do you know what ignore means? Because I don't think the word means what you think it means.
Don’t understand your answer. By “solid” I only meant it’s not hollow and doesn’t have an inside surface. Let me restate the question - Does the outer surface of a donut torus (as shown below) only have one side?
Dark chocolate?
Close, but no cigar. That 20% is also Santa, the Tooth Fairy, leprechauns, elves, imaginary friends, etc. the underlying fantasies beyond the credible.
I'd like to thank sol invictus, Reality Check and MattusMaximus for a very informative thread. I think there were some other people in the thread, but I forget.
Don’t understand why the mobius strip isn’t orientable. The edge of the strip has size and the object is 3D. What say we increase the size of the edge to the size of the side as show below? (quickly and roughly made from some old foam). In other words we make a mobius from a square section instead of a strip. Is this orientable? Does each of the two mobius strips created still only have one side?
The mobius band (why call it a strip?) may be defined as a two-dimensional surface in the abstract world of mathematics, but in the actual world it’s a 3D object. Why does mathematics ignore the fact that it has an edge and a thickness (depth)?
