- Simple rules of geometry meant that 5-fold symmetry was impossible as were crystals without a periodic structure. This turns out to be wrong. Thanks to LastPass for sponsoring a portion of this video. Click here to start using LastPass: ve42.co/LPs

Roger Penrose was just awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics! Not for this pattern but “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity”
Congratulations to him, he genuinely deserves it!
Hi
This video triggered everything inside of me
Roger penrose was a close friend and research partner of stephen hawking.....he totally deserves it
Was this planned by you to time it with the announcement?
Me: Gives this pattern to the guy tiling my kitchen
Tile guy: Sweats profusely
👽👍
Worst yet would hear him say: "Alright, I'm done"
...and he just created a singularity in you kitchen
His brain divides by zero.
I saw this comment already!
@@nemo4555 i think if you purposely create a specific singularity in the tiling you prevent the crystal from failing at distance... i think. Theres this wierd decagon shape you can make that forces the tiling to do wierd things.
All I was thinking throughout this whole video was:
"I have to remember this when I'm tiling my bathroom in my house when I'm older"
Lol
I'll help u do that
Yes, same. It'd be quite intriguing to pull it off and still look fairly cool
dont bother, it would just be fu-tile...
(hey, he said it in the video, dont blame me for the bad pun)
RIGHT?! XD
They've recently discovered a single tile that accomplishes the same thing on its own! Would love to see this revisited.
It is a 13-sided hat shape. It looks like the black Jamiroquai hat. I can’t wait to see a video about that either.
Damn, you beat me by two whole days. I only just learned about the 'einstein' tile (not named after famous physicist, but merely the fact that it requires only 1 'stone' [tile]).
Came here for the same reason
Yes! That's why I'm here again
YES
While studying symmetry in school, I felt it was a boring topic
And now here comes this guy who's making every possible boring topic interesting
You're just AWESOME!
Him: it's not that complicated.
*Proceeds to explain the 4th dimension*
Had some crazy flashbacks of being back in school making those same patterns with wooden shapes. Pretty cool.
It is a boring topic, repetitive too; after you learn the first half, you sit through and learn the second half which is basically a mirror image of what you already learned.
Geometry has ALWAYS been a (potentially) fascinating topic, and it's a sad reflection on our way of doing education that generations of people have found it otherwise.

I'm from Czech Republic and let me tell you - I feel so so happy anytime any random person on the internet mentions our country! We are quite small and don't get mentioned too often!
I'm from Czech to and I feel the same
The feel of any random country from Latam...
I Don't Think so I have heard of Czech Republic many times. Mainly on the cover of Classmate(Indian Notebook Brand) Notebooks Mentioning about the beauties of Czech Republic and how important it is to Europe Mainly about a city known as 'Prague'. The Aim of the cover pages is to convey different sort of informative info and helps brand gain attention. But this country is their. I thought it was a small country with high significance in tourism.🙂
as someone who plays geoguessr I see it all the time 😂
Just right now they found the first single tile that tiles the plane aperiodically, calling it "eistein". Amazing breakthrough! It does however require mirroring
Einstein, German for "one stone",
the latest variant found (in or before summer 2023) is called Spectre (not the Bond movie)
They found a variant which doesn't require mirroring also too!
@@fishxw That's awesome!!! Amazing how geometric discoveries are still being found today
“Well it’s infinite, so it’s gotta repeat at SOME point, right?”
Scientists: “lmao no”
there's parts that repeat but the whole thing won't appear twice next to itself / ex. 50% is some structure and the other 50% is that structure, or ex. you have 4 25%s and all 4 are the same thing.....there's lots of randomness
@@stevenmathews7666 What he said then :)
You will never find a pattern, as big as it is (even infinite), that will repeat !
This video was so crazy ! So good :)
I don't understand though why any part of those patterns could not be part of the same one infinite pattern. Since it never repeats itself and is infinite, it means that any arrangement we see could be / is part of the flat out infinity of those arrangemnts.
@@Miniclash What you said is indeed possible, it's the same thing that Steven said. Yes you can have small patterns that repeat themselves, but that's not what the video shows. The video tells you that you won't ever be able to find a unique recurrent pattern that you could translate and create a bigger pattern with. There has to be only one pattern that fills the entire space.

By the way, I'm 67, nearly failed my maths 'O' level, ended up trading as a teacher, did an extra maths course after my degree, and became a maths and art specialist (primary - UK). Taught kids tables by using patterns, and colouring them. One class of mine shocked an OFSTED inspector because around half of the kids said maths was their favourite subject..... all because of pattern in maths. And it was all started by my fascination with Fibonnaci (amongst other mathematical patterns)
I love the video. It’s really astounding how you are capable of explaining it in a way that makes it sound easy and fun to explore. Also, at 09:40, during the pattern overlap, I could have sworn a saw a face looking at me. I might be haunted….
This reminds me of an old saying we have here: "Everyone said that it was impossible. Then someone came who didn't know that and just did it."

if it doesnt repeat does it even classify as a "pattern" anymore?

It does because it follows certain rules

Imagine having Penrose tiling in your bathroom floor. It's a very cool pattern, it'd be great to look at while you're otherwise occupied.

Wonder if he will do a follow up video!
Your bit about infinity, how there are an infinite number of patterns made me think of the multiverse theory. Some people focus on how in the multiverse there could be wildly different things than we're used to, but there could also be an almost identical replica, so infinitely near perfect that it'd be impossible to ever know the difference.
Definition of a pattern: "It must repeat"
Penrose Tiling: "Hold my rhombus"
😂
team sucks lol
Dont care didn’t ask
Lol 😂
To be precise: things that repeat are called "periodic". They exhibit "periodicity". The Penrose tiling exhibits what's called "quasi-periodicity"; it's "quasi-periodic".

In 2012 I attended a talk by the very Dan Schechtman about quasi-cristals. His talk paled in comparison to this video. I walked out of there with absolutely no idea of what quasi-cristals were, but you made it cristal clear to me (pun not inended) in just 20 minutes. Goes to show you the, not just importance, but NECESSITY of science communicators to spread knowledge.

All I need is some tiles on my kitchen wall with a non repeating pattern

12:55 While "five-fold symmetry" can definitely be connected to the golden ratio through the square root of 5, aren't the "0.5" elements in his framing of phi just an accident of base-10 expression? For example, in base-6, the expression would be "0.3 + (5^0.3)*0.3"

How mathematicians say it: "The hexagon tiles the plane periodically."
How I say it: "The hexagon is the bestagon."
A fellow human of good taste I see.
i watched it three times over one year, still amazing and it get richer..
Fun fact: Keskuskatu in Helsinki, Finland is tiled with this pattern, and I’ve always felt pretty uneasy about the fact that it doesn’t seem to repeat. Now I know it doesn’t.
I looked it up, it's a square (ironically named now, should be pentagon to retain some of the symmetry, but I can't find an aerial image) tiled with a penrose tiling. Not many good pictures of it, math isn't all that interesting to tourists if it is beyond the price of coffee.
I thought this pattern looked familiar, that's pretty cool
I allways thought it did repeat on some level but now i know it doesn’t
Thanks for this! I hadn't noticed it before, but I gotta go there and see it for myself the next time I go to the capital.
The pattern doesn't repeat but it does contain the Fibonacci sequence which means there is an ORDER that is special.
Imagine proving your teachers prideful theory wrong.
I’d just be like “only A’s and I won’t tell the press”
We can't have half-an A, press.
