It only took 75 years!

Below is an example of a Möbius Strip (for anyone who doesn't know)...



Möbius strip unravelled @ nature.com

My father demonstrated this mathematical phenomenon when I was a young child. I have all ways fascinating been the complexity hidden within simplicity of the Möbius Strip. Now after 75 year some crazy Boffins have mapped an equation to predict the behavior of Möbius' famous strip. Time travel and quantum teleportation can't be far behind!
