Hermes and Mercury are the same in Greek mythology. This is a special loop, where one side is the upwards flipped version of the other, and if you flip your device upside down (or if you have a gaming PC flip the front screen upside down) and put it in front of a mirror, beet Peel becomes Beef Beer.

Wind runs along the half of the strip until she gets to the part where the two loops touch, and she jumps to the other side. She gets her dog, and wonders where mr ug was. Then, she peers over the edge and sees all of the things on her path that she usually had used to get to mr ug s house. She sees all of the familiar things, and realizes the truth. She then makes a rocket ship and flies with her dog to another Möbius strip where another triangle by the name of Mr Ug was also flying off of his Möbius strip with his pet cat. They meet in the middle, and both stop flying towards each other and start flying together. They both fly towards a stray hexaflexagon and land, planning to live there. They live on the hexaflexagon getting resources from the worlds under the three flaps. They also meet square friends with unicorns and jackalopes. They live happily ever after :)

I remember watching this at age 9 and being devastated for days about the ending to this video. Even now 10 years later i remember everything about this little story
Took me 3 minutes to realise it was a Möbius strip
Although Wind will never meet mr. Ug, they will still always be in touch with each other.
i thought this was going to be a sad story but then a dog appeared, and even though the world split. they are still knotted together so the worlds can only go so far apart... as far as seeing her dog again, unless wind can see in the 3rd dimension, no. she'll only see slices of the world as she looks out across the border and maybe a full view every once in a while when the planes become parallel, like an eclipse of sorts. which is kind of somberly wholesome? idk, better than her realizing she's alone.
I guessed it when I saw how you drew it. This is such a cool story and a great video as always.
Wonder filled as usual. Thanks Vi Hart.
This is the most creative use of a Mobius strip ive EVER seen! OMG
The way you set it up is so smart ! Its hard to explain but very smart!!!
This video never ceases to amaze me
so, while the little world was splitting apart, Wind realize that she was Mr.Ug, and she felt something brake inside her, 'cause now she knew she was alone this hole time. So she jumped to save her dog, the only thing that was left, crying in fear, but she fell. Just joking, the dog grabbed her hand, revealing that he was Mr.Ug the hole time, a beautiful square. Wind and Ug built a lot of bridges to connect the worlds, fell in love and now they are a happy couple with 2 children, circle and rectangle. That's it.

For those who are worried about how lonely Wind is going to be: The story includes a brief reference to Flatland, which comes from some math book that describes two-dimensional beings who discover the greater, three-dimensional world. Wind originally came from Flatland! She just happened to fall onto her Mobius strip. This means two things: 1. Wind's Mobius strip is somehow connected to Flatland. 2. Travel between two-dimensional worlds is possible. With these in mind, Wind does not have to be trapped at all-- she just has to jump off the Mobius strip at the right time to travel to a new, totally different two-dimensional world!

Wouldn’t that mean mr. ug is real? Because she is in a Möbius strip , she too would be upside down on the other side, which means even though that version of her would do and say what she does, and she could never see mr. ug, mr. ug is real?

She'll realise that Mr. Ug was always only a half twist away from reality.
When you cut a Mobius strip all the way down the middle, it becomes two-sided. So that means Wind will never see her dog again. They’re stuck on separate sides of the Mobius strip.
