two experts in non-linear dynamics, Gert van der Heijden and Eugene Starostin of University College London, present the solution.

This article seems awfully convinced that these guys have solved the puzzle. I don't know if that's true. If you ask me, this reporting is pretty one-sided.

If you strip away the thin layer of rhetoric, all that you’re left with is twisted logic...

Nice one! LOL

Here is what a learned mathematician has to say about the study...

"That is simply a mathematical parameterisation of the surface within 3 dimensional space. What the work in the article is talking about is describing the mechanical stresses a physical object with the shape of a Mobius strip will have upon it due to it's material strength and rigidity. As the article says, it's an important thing to understand if you're building fabric or chemical structures which twist in such a way."

You have made a clear case of Moebius strip a being one-sided, but when it’s twisted is it to the left or to the right.
