| The Moebius Strip with 1/2 twist. | .... | For centuries
men and women fastened their belts by making
a half twist, but no one had until the nineteenth
century the idea of giving a name to this object, of
remarkable simplicity. One day, after fastening
his pants, Moebius was struck by this lack. Not having a name
on hand, he decided to give it his own name and from then on it was called
"the Moebius strip". Today, many scientists have acquired fame, or an increase
in fame by simply creating words. Sir Archibald
Wheeler was a great word creator (black hole, wormhole,
etc). |
