This question is for long known unknown becuase the answer is really difficult . Here it goes ,
if a snake starts to possible start eating itself beginning from the tail , what will happen ? Will it vanish or what , it can't eat its own mouth so any ideas . I've been doing some reasearch using a rope but that wasn't any good .
I know , say it starts swallowing itself from the tail , and suppose it was very flexible so that it doesn't have to chase itself for ever , but can happily get up eating a lot towards the end , then it'd reach its mouth , but by theory , it's not possible to have one thing inside the same thing .
It would just keep eating until the snake is in a small ball, and can't eat anymore because it can't bend far enough. The snake starts out in a big circle. The circle gets smaller and smaller as he eats his tail. At some point the snake won't be able to eat anymore, because his body can't curl tighter. Remeber that his body has thickness.
