Mobius strip

Our Daily Challenge ... infinite.

 

The unique symbol for infinity ... the lemniscate ... is based on a real-world mathematical shape ... the Mobius strip! Like an infinite number, a mobius strip (or band) is never ending.

 

The Mobius strip is named after mathematician and astronomer August Ferdinand Möbius, who came up with the idea in September 1858. It is is famous because it has only one side and one edge and is never ending.
