The Mobius Strip is mounted in the midst of a circular pool atop Ramsey Auditorium. It is made of 3 x 5 inch pieces of stainless steel which were welded on a tubular form eight feet in diameter. This sculpture was dedicated in May, 1974. In the 1970s a fountain encircled the sculpture.

A classic -- the hard part is finding one-sided paper [rimshot].
This one is a bit old and battered. I folded the corrugations onto a couple different sheets of paper, then cut them into strips and reassembled them with some tape. The loop was made while the paper was flat, then the corrugations were put back in. It's a bit tricky, especially at first.
This is a new film project to find all the hidden places around Sydney. I've lived in Sydney most of my life but there are still places I've never seen...It's not a big city so clearly I don't get out much.
I have no idea where this art installation is. I was wondering around and stumbled upon it.

On my way home from Death Valley, I got to see an area of the state that I’ve been wanting to see for the last decade that I’ve lived in California. Brian offered to let me tag along on the drive home throught the Eastern Sierra, with the first stop in the Alabama Hills (Thanks again B!!). After rolling in late and setting up my tent in 40+ mph wind gusts, we got a couple hours of sleep before sunrise. My tent held up well, and so did Brian’s Prius. When we woke up, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, but I was still loving every minute of seeing this spectacular place. After trying to catch some good morning light, we headed back to the cars. On the way back, I decided I really wanted to see the famous Mobius Arch, despite the less than stellar conditions.
I know that thousands, maybe millions, of photographers have made images here. In general, I think I have some hesitations about photographing iconic locations, especially if the conditions don’t seem to lend themselves to creating something really unique. But, when we got to the arch, I noticed that the early morning winter sun created some nice contrasty light that I thought would make for a decent black and white shot. I snapped a few frames, and we headed out. When I got home, I started looking through many images of this spot. Although there aren’t many different options for compositions here, this arch looks pretty different depending on the angle that it’s framed. After thinking about it some more, I realized that there are so many different variables when it comes to photography that it’s hard for any two images to be exactly the same. Maybe it’s a slight shift in the angle of light, or just a little wispy cloud that forms while your working, that allows you to get a shot that’s truly your own. And I think I’ll have less pause about shooting these icons in the future. In the end, I’m pretty glad I came home with My Mobius.

Mobius Arch is the "prize" of the Alabama Hills. Many wonderful photographs have been taken of it, especially at sunrise and sunset. Given the right conditions, the light on the arch is spectacular. We weren't so lucky.
As you can see, the area was almost completely socked in. We could hardly even see the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just a few miles away. And the wind was biting cold.
Still, it was fun to see and explore. While I love to take pictures, they are really just a way to document my travels. It would have been nice to catch this at a better time for photographs.

“It works!”
I heard a squeal of delight as a certain young boy I know found an interesting worm hole in the Mac OS. He used the Mac on the left to control the screen of the Mac in the middle. Then he had the middle control the one on the right. And then he looped the one on the far right to control the one on the far left, and the reverb ring was complete. All three screens zoomed into hyperspace.
It’s a wifi hall of mirrors in the fun house.
originally I was folding bracelet, but after I saw WORLD'S FIRST ONE SIDED TESS by Ira (aka sunmaid1), it became clear, that the pattern I used there was perfect for making Mobius strip instead of bracelet... made from 4 strips of paper without glue... and after I was thinking that making Mobius strip should be even easier, why to use 4 strips? and really, 1 folded strip is enough to be closed without glue :) could be made in 1 minute, yet I didn't try how it works if I cut it...

The "Nonlocal Light Cone Entanglement" fine art photography series celebrates my physics theory: Light, Time, Dimension Theory dx4/dt=ic: The fourth dimension is expanding at the velocity of light c, giving rise to quantum nonlocality and entanglement, as well as relativity.
Please read more about my theoretical physics research here:
geni.us/dr-elliot-mcgucken-art
I've penned a few books centered around Light, Time, Dimension Theory dx4/dt=ic:
geni.us/mcgucken-physics-books
Proof of the Nonlocality of a Light Cone’s Surface:
Consider a pair of entangled photons which travel in opposite directions from the origin in the x1, x2 plane.
No matter how far apart they travel, they will remain entangled, meaning that their two positions will define a nonlocality.
Now consider numerous entangled pairs of photons, wherein the two photons in each pair travel away from the origin in opposite directions.
Together, the positions of the photons in all the entangled pairs of photons will by and by define a circle of nonlocality as the number of pairs of photons approaches infinity.
Now consider a third axis which is time. Together, the positions of the photons in all the entangled pairs of photons will define a conical surface of nonlocality.
Ergo, the surface of a light cone is a nonlocality.
The surface of a light cone is thus nonlocal.

For those that loved Firefly, you need to check out J.S. Morin's Black Ocean series. My simple description is, he was sad Firefly didn't have more episodes, so he created a book series to fill that void. There are some differences like the inclusion of wizards and magic, that make it unique, but like Firefly, it has a lovable crew of unique and continuously developed characters, and ship that is always about to fall apart.
I'm not completely happy with the MOC. It's about as frustrating to shape as the Firefly, but I got this done, until I can make a better attempt.
Here is the reference for the ship:
