Nonorientable space

A Mobius band is an example of a nonorientable space. This means, in theory, it is not possible to distinguish an object on the surface from irs reflected image. The surface is considered nonorientable if it has a path that reverses the orientation of creatures living on the surface, as described in the previous paragraph. On the other hand, if a space preserves the handedness of an asymmetric structure, regardless of how the structure is moved about, the space is called orientable. ... [Pg.135]
