I continued my research and came across symbols, theories and art-projects, which were also dealing with the idea of infinity and led me towards my final project „Der Müllmann“. | I continued my research and came across symbols, theories and art-projects, which were also dealing with the idea of infinity and led me towards my final project „Der Müllmann“. | ||

When I did research about universe and its expansion, the first name I pounced on was Einstein and a lot of theories about the Big Bang. Looking deeper into the mathematics, I found the symbol of infinity . It looks like a rotated number 8, but you can also see it as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip '''moebius strip''']. The German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius discovered it in 1858. You can follow every part of the moebius strip, without crossing and edge. Infinite. The painter and artist [http://www.mcescher.com/ '''M.C. Escher'''] visualized the moebius strip and visualized the idea of infinity in many of his paintings, too. | When I did research about universe and its expansion, the first name I pounced on was Einstein and a lot of theories about the Big Bang.
