We are three friends discussing whether a three dimensional object with a single side and a single are can possibly exist.
- I first came up with a Moebius strip as an affirmative example
- The second friend came up with a Klein bottle with a hole / drill (in order to provide the border)
- The third and last friend argues that neither the strip or the bottle are valid examples because a Klein´s bottle is really a projection of a R4 object in R3, and because, in any case, both objects must have thickness in order to exist, so the strip would actually have two borders instead of just one.
Can a 1-side, 1-border object exist in 3D? Or is the third friend right with his "must have thickness in R3 in order to <> (be fisically feasible)"
Many Thanks
The Moebius strip is an obvious affirmative example, it has one border and one side. It proves that the answer to your question is yes.
The Klein bottle with a hole is a moebius strip. And your third friend is entirely wrong, a klein bottle with a hole can be embedded into $\mathbb R^3$.
