What you've got there is string theory

[-] egerlach@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wait, how close is that to true? Does string theory really just boil down to "quarks are möbius strips"?

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

I feel like it was a joke; I don't think Moebius strips are at all relevant to string theory

Most of this stuff is really not amenable to language, and can only really be understood in the mathematics that physicists use

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not specifically Möbius strips, but the main premise is that all elementary particles are in fact strings in high dimensional space, and all of their unique properties come from the way those strings are shaped and moving.

Maybe there would be a particle that corresponds to a string tied in a Möbius loop, for all I know.
