Creator description: "Given a unit horizontal length in the plane, what is the minimum area in which this line segment may be (cleverly) turned, so that its direction is reversed? Professor A. S. Besicovitch, who solved this problem, shows that no such minimum area exists." This video was composited at the Briscoe Center by combining the interpositive picture reel [e_math_01204] with the optical sound track reel [e_math_01206]. Slight color adjustments were also made.
