Abakcus(@abakcus):The Möbius strip. Take a strip of paper, twist it once, tape the ends. Now it has one side. Just one. Draw a line and you never lift the pen — you end up back where you started. Tim Hawkinson built a ship out of that shape. No front, no back. Mathematics, turned into a ship that sails into itself.
