The Möbius Strip


I have recently come across what is known as the Möbius strip. What I am about to try to explain has the potential to make your brain hurt.

CAUTION: FOLLOWING MAY CAUSE HEADACHE!

The Möbius strip is a form of what some people would call 'The 5th Dimension'.

Pictureing the 1st Dimention would result in a single dot. Something that is in the 2nd Dimension must be flat and must end at some given place or time. The 3rd Dimension as we know has length, width, and height and does not have to end at any given point or time. The 4th Dimension is like the 2nd Dimension but interfaces with time. It would be like a person's life. At one end of the strip of life would be the child form of the person in the 3rd Dimention and the elderly form at the other. Now to bring it one more step would lead to something like the Möbius strip. The 5th Dimention is similar the 4th Dimention except time is endless. The Möbius strip only has one continuous side. If you were to picture it as a road, it would never end.

Just looking at this picture blows my mind.

I came upon this crazy thing from a video that explains up to the 10th Dimention.

Cafeteria Breakfast

I woke up late this morning. I barely had time to wash up before I left for class. On my way down mission hill I started having this feeling of emptiness in my stomach. When I got to my class, my stomach was screaming at me. It was causing me to fidget in my chair and it felt like everyone could hear my belly growling. It was so much of a distraction that I could barely pay attention to my professor. After two hours, my class let out and I briskly walked to the cafeteria for some breakfast. Every time I have had breakfast here in the cafe, I have never been disappointed. But this time, everything seemed to have gone wrong. Normally I would have gone for the french toast. Although this time, the line was way too long for my hunger to wait. So I decided to buy an omelette. I get to the counter and ask for a cheese omelette with sausage in it. The cook seemed confused and I had to repeat myself twice. When she gives me my food, I see just a plain cheese omelette with sausage on the side. I was slightly annoyed but I figured it would taste the same if I eat both at the same time. After I paid, I checked my receipt to realize that the cashier had double charged me. She couldn't refund me, but I was able to grab another $6 worth of food, which I let my friend use cause he forgot his wallet. Finally I get a table and start eating my food. Long story short, I was very annoyed by my food. The sausage was cold and my omelette was undercooked. The only thing that made me happy was my chocolate milk which was very... very tasty.
