S31 191. Capturing the Moment

“Uncle, have you ever heard of the Mobius Ribbon?” Louis asked as they were on their way to the next location.

Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “What’s that?”

“You haven’t heard it? The Mobius strip is a one-sided surface that

has no boundaries.”

Jeremy’s eyes opened wider. His forehead was filled with more wrinkles.

“Uncle must be confused, Louis. We were also confused the first time we read it,” Emily said lightly. Her face was already beaming again. While walking by Louis’ side, her tiny hand kept holding on Frank.

Jeremy blinked in a daze. He felt like a fool. “Try explaining further, Louis. Make me understand.” He patted the boy’s shoulder.

Louis took the strap of the backpack that was hanging under his arm. His footsteps involuntarily slowed down.

“Uncle, pay attention to this. Think of my backpack strap as a ribbon.”

Jeremy listened. He and the others slowed down in unison, keeping up with Louis’ speed.

“This is a straight ribbon, right? Now I twist it once, then I connect the

ends. This is the Mobius Ribbon.”

Instead of being amazed, Jeremy blinked. “What’s so special about that?”

Frank spontaneously burst out laughing. His heart tingled when he saw his older brother’s confused face.

“Do you understand?” Jeremy grabbed.

Frank nodded casually. “Of course. It has been applied for many things in daily life. The recycling symbol also uses that structure.”

Jeremy thought harder. After a moment of silence, although his expression still tended to be flat, his head nodded.

“I’m starting to understand. But why do we call it has only one side and no boundaries?”

Louis lowered his eyelids. “You must not understand yet,” he grumbled.

Then, Louis stopped walking and turned to face Jeremy. “Try to imagine that there is an ant walking here. At first he walks on the inside, then outside, then inside again and returns to the starting point. It will never stop, Uncle!”
