Möbius Mystery Solved By Mathematician After 5 Decades


Mathematician Richard Evan Schwartz has potentially solved the 46-year-old Halpern-Weaver Conjecture, which suggests the minimum size for a Möbius strip. Schwartz’s solution, yet to be peer-reviewed, corrects an error in his 2020 proposal and is based on the concept of straight lines existing on the Möbius strip’s surface. His corrected calculation matched the conjecture, leading to a potential breakthrough in understanding this complex geometrical shape.
