You can make this with a slip of paper.

Although the Möbius strip is not one-dimensional it has some funny properties, indeed. After you have drawn a line at the center as described by Sumomo, try cutting the slip following this line. Enjoy the result... (did you expect 2 pieces in the end ?;)

Ignoring the obvious three dimensional qualities of paper....A mobius strip is TWO dimensional as it has both width & height / breadth.

NO object can exist in one dimensional and appear in a physical form.

The Möbius strip or Möbius band (pronounced /ˈmøbiʊs/) is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. It has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It was co-discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858.

Take a long strip of paper and glue the ends together (with a half-twist) to form a Möbius strip. Begin at the gluing and draw a line down the center of the strip. Upon returning to the gluing the line you have drawn is as long as the original strip yet there remains blank paper in front of your pen. Continue drawing, without lifting the pen. Observe that you are now drawing on the "other side" of the paper. When you reach the glue again, you will be back where you started originally, and will have drawn a curve twice as long as the original strip. This single contiguous curve demonstrates that the Möbius strip has only one "side".

A Möbius strip is at least 2 dimensional since it also has width (along with length)

A one dimensional object would be a point, a dot.

Ugh, the "time measurement" element. we stay in a universe that, a minimum of to us, consists of 3 *spatial* dimensions. For some issues it really is handy to imagine of time as a measurement, in spite of the indisputable fact that it really is mandatory to be conscious that it really is a temporal measurement, no longer a spatial measurement. For that count number, it really is worry-free to call shade a measurement, or temperature. the final analysis, although, is that there are only 3 conventional spatial dimensions.

Which reminds me, why did the chicken cross the Mobius strip? To get to the same side!

It's called a 'mobius strip' - and 'it's debatable.'
