  • Researchers at MIT and Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris have come up with a new theory that describes how a knot's configuration, or "topology," determines its mechanical forces. (Learn more: mitsha.re/RVIRY )

    I'm pretty sure that this will not be that useful for other knots, this trefoil class of knots is special from this point of view, but it might be a good start with a lot of additional tests. I would be very interested in this, but it is not that simple, unfortunately. First of all, you're changing the knot, so you won't get a property of it, but you will get a property of that family where the property is a comparison between all it's members.

    Ummm, doesn't a trefoil knot have to be a closed loop? Pretty sure what he had was an overhand knot.

    Take a look at the snap Bowline way of tying a bowline knot. To use this technique successfully, the knot that you create has to “invert“ for the knot to actually become a proper bowline knot. If the knot does not “invert“, you end up with a knot that is mathematically identical to a bowling but in reality is just a slip knot. I

    How is a twisted cord "more secure" ?

      +Corvaire Wind yeah, but the pressure in a twisted material is greater and probably less secure.

    A struggle to get to the end due to his accent, inflection and glasses and when I did, realized I hadn't learned anything. Did he actually say anything significant?
