Continuing mobius strip theory idea

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the viability of mobius strip theory as a modification of string theory. It suggests that while the theory may currently be deemed untenable, elements of "mobiusness" could still enhance string theory's explanatory power, particularly regarding one-handedness. Mike2 points out that mobius strips are problematic because their twisting reverses the time dimension, leading to infinite speeds without a corresponding time movement. This raises questions about the compatibility of mobius strip concepts with established physics. The conversation highlights the ongoing exploration of theoretical frameworks in physics.

It does seem a shame if the previously discussed notion of mobius strip theory, as a modification of string theory, remains untenable. Perhaps some 'mobiusness' can still be adopted into the logic of string theory; it could serve as a visualizable explanatory model of one-handedness. Thoughts anyone?

From Physics Forums, Beyond the Standard Model, in November, 2003:

From post #3 by Mike2 (overstrike) “The reason Mobius strips are disallowed is because in the process of twisting, the surface of the world-sheet ends up reversing the time dimension. And at some portion of this Mobius surface the sheet represents infinite speeds, the sheet having some increase in space dimension with no corresponding time movement.”

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
