Mathematical theory to reduce knot risk
June 7, 2010 at 5:45 pm
A mass experiment is underway to rid mankind and beloved gizmos of an age-old nuisance, tangled up wires and cables. Read full story:

Untangling the mystery of knotted flex

The Great British Knot Experiment

Now I've read into topology and knot theory long before this hit the headlines, so it seems that this "Loop Conjecture" theory of Robert Matthews is aiming for prevention rather than an effective solution. Wouldn't making square electrical cables/wires instead simply prevent trefoils from ever occurring in the first place?

Any thoughts? Want to share your frustration on knots?
