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”

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]).
I agree, a passionate teacher is so important, because most communication is non-verbal. I wonder if a lot of the modern anti-intellectualism conspiracy theories are due to kids turning off in science because of poor science teachers.
my year 7 science teacher was amazing,childish but not immature of that makes sense.he made science fun for the whole class and was just genuinely a good teacher

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!
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 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.🙂

Hey Cary! You should also check out jan Misali's video on the topic of all the regular polyhedra, including the Kepler-Poinsot solids, if you haven't already. He's in incredibly talented content creator that also does conlangs.
when i watched this video a year ago, i wondered why the aspect ratio is slightly less wide than the standard 16:9. the answer just clicked in my brain: it's the golden ratio. very nicely done
lol the same idea occured to me, too: I just added a new note to my 'interior design tips' spreadsheet to create a Penrose-type tiling where possible : ))
he found 1 example, which required 20,426 tiles, which might be just as annoying "I found this 1 specific example involving 20,426 unique tiles showing that you're wrong"
Today I randomly saw a short showing aperiodic monotile and immediately came back to this video. It is so fascinating to some widely accepted opinion (minimum 2 shapes are required for aperiodic tiling) change Now only one shape is required for aperiodic tiling
Why aren’t my classes like this, this is actually interesting especially the way this guy explains it, it make me actually interested in the subject while my teacher explains things in gibberish
we did this in london,it was all one colour wooden,like a paraquet floor, my landlord cut out the above shape and put us to work he paid us in good nutritious food and a laid back attitude to our scrappy cleaning ect
@@potassium6677 if you somehow found a pattern it would mean you had a mental disability which causes you to see things that aren't real / change what you see to look like something else
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".
Whenever I watch a veritasim infinite math video it feels like my soul is being lifted into a totally different universe of interconnecting math. Super great videos.
Hands down the most coherent presenter on TH-cam. I'm a carpenter who barely made it through Trig and you helped me understand this. You were born to teach
update: there’s a new aperiodic monotile, which can’t even tile periodically with its mirror image, or tile at all with it, only ever aperiodic and with its own image. it’s called the spectre, and it’s part of a family of tiles which tile with their mirror images but only aperiodically, with three exceptions at the limits of sizes of the edges. two other ones are the hat and the tortice

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.
Oh god ,imagine it in a restaurant. People would go insane seeking for a pattern. You know when you're bored at a dinner and you seek patterns on wall tiles?
@@eval_is_evil I would be not insane, but amazed, - tile that so perfectly fits, but never repeats... actually, before this video I thought this is impossible
I've spent time looking for the pattern in the wall of a campsite bathroom (I did manage to find one), I don't want to think how long I would be looking for one in a restaurant.
"what exists because we just can't percieve because it's considered impossible?" is such a beautiful and impactful question. how much have we dismissed because we couldn't believe it could exist? how much have we overlooked?
I know I'm late, but this video was my "full circle" moment. My entire life I've recreationally obsessed over cosmology and physics; at 16 the golden ratio and fibonacci sequence kickstarted my interest in math - I had harsh awakenings to the real world that removed me from finishing my education but I overcame them and returned to acedemia in 2023 for computer science. My "free time" was not wasted - I consumed every and anything from science communicators that most notably led me to Penrose. After hundreds of hours watching lectures, contemplating the foundations of science I kept coming back to the same points of contention such as locality, the measurement problem, the hubble constant discrepency, g-2 experiment, schrodingers cat and imaginary numbers, which all seem to be indicating new physics at work but the most simple of explanation that I was looking for was never really answered "Whats up with the golden ratio appearing in nature?" . Que this video - which came out 3 years ago; I wouldn't have been prepared to truly understand the significance of these concepts until today and I'm certain that the tile is being laid, one at a time, to some new knowledge to be infered from reality. Thank you for everything that you do.
As a Material Scientist/Engineer and an avid D&D player this made me tear up. This is just the most beautiful thing. A perfect marriage of law and chaos, to be unique but also connected and the same. It's so human.
when the search of the higgsboson was done, it showd that both Supersymmetry and chaostheory coexist, but the retards of CERN did not understand that. still today they try to have their thesis accepted.
Wow I both love and hate that nature allows non-perfect symmetry. And this “can never tell which patter you’re on” sounds suspiciously close to some descriptions of parallel universe. Which is really cool.
It may sound like the infinite parallel universe theory, but at it's core, what IS the infinite parallel universe theory, if not a set of infinite patterns?
You get a similar idea on regular, vanilla tilings. If you get dropped on an infinite hexagonal tiling, you can never know which angle you're facing. (You can only know up to multiples of 60 degrees.) There's a similar deal with Penrose tilings, by the way. You can have at most one point of true 5-fold symmetry and no point of 10-fold symmetry. But if you get dropped on a Penrose tiling facing a random direction, and you can only see finitely much of it at once, you can only know what direction you're facing up to multiples of 1/10 of a turn (36 degrees).
@@Mernom no, those multiples parallel universes hipothesis is not what is commonly said on internet in fiction. There is the multiple words interpretations of quantum mechanics that only account for the uncertainty of particle being in multiple place at once (it will not make you the president in a parallel universe). And in the hyperinflation where bubbles of slow expanding universe could form in a never ending hyper inflating macro universe.
It’s God Way of keeping us humble. The universe will always continue to keep us curious and yet make sense at the same time. “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you oh lord”
Linus Pauling forgot Clarke's 1st Law: When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
@@davidwuhrer6704 Clarke's 1st Law was formulated in 1962. Linus Pauling was 61, not exactly "elderly". He worked on alternative explanation of 10-fold diffraction symmetry around 1984.
The fact that there are uncountably many tilings of a penrose pattern is mind blowing. I would love to read the proof of that, and hopefully one day understand it.
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….
Very deserving! He pretty much proved that black holes are entirely possible. He actually split the award with two other people Andrea Ghez and Reinhard Genzel who discovered the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
One of my favorite quotes I've learned during my PhD studies is "The easiest way to win a Nobel prize is to disprove something written in stone". This was talking about breaking the diffraction limit, which was actually written in stone, but I think it can apply here too.
hmm, as kid was fascinated by actual tiles and mosiac pattern and tried to find the repeats. Hit teens and was stultified by teachers telling me formulas and then supporting evidence in jumbled fashion. This video absolutely clicked with me, might explain why I have been so unsettled choosing a tile pattern for the bathroom...
This is one of the best demonstration I have ever seen... The Golden Ratio, Fibonacci series hiding in those simple looking patterns is unbelievable. The way he explains complex concepts like nothing is an unmatchable skill.
“Patterns have to repeat otherwise they aren’t patterns” This pattern: no, I don’t think I will. Guys chill it was just a joke no need to fight about it.
@@kjl3080 then it's not a pattern The definition of a pattern is a repeating design. If this never repeats then it can not be a pattern... In the end all it is, is a design.
Everytime I visit this video, I'm just blown away by the research and effort and coherence with which this was made. Imagine if these channels didn't exist, we'd be stuck to long hours of reading in order to even discover let alone analyze such mysteries by ourselves.
Analysing the mystery yourself is a joy in itself, condense presentations like these are extremely helpful but are not a substitute, for some things we should do the analysis ourselves (since we lack the time and energy to do it for everything (
And you’re supposed to and not just be a dimwit who watches to act smart by agreeing to someone using big words like majority of the people who watches these videos. If you don’t go out there and try to prove them wrong by doing the work, new things will never be discovered.

Hey Cary!
when i watched this video a year ago, i wondered why the aspect ratio is slightly less wide than the standard 16:9. the answer just clicked in my brain: it's the golden ratio. very nicely done
someone should start a home renovation company called Penrose Tiling Company. specialize in bathroom tiling, tile flooring, and roofing or something
lol the same idea occured to me, too: I just added a new note to my 'interior design tips' spreadsheet to create a Penrose-type tiling where possible : ))

update: there’s a new aperiodic monotile, which can’t even tile periodically with its mirror image, or tile at all with it, only ever aperiodic and with its own image. it’s called the spectre, and it’s part of a family of tiles which tile with their mirror images but only aperiodically, with three exceptions at the limits of sizes of the edges. two other ones are the hat and the tortice

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

I know I'm late, but this video was my "full circle" moment. My entire life I've recreationally obsessed over cosmology and physics; at 16 the golden ratio and fibonacci sequence kickstarted my interest in math - I had harsh awakenings to the real world that removed me from finishing my education but I overcame them and returned to acedemia in 2023 for computer science. My "free time" was not wasted - I consumed every and anything from science communicators that most notably led me to Penrose. After hundreds of hours watching lectures, contemplating the foundations of science I kept coming back to the same points of contention such as locality, the measurement problem, the hubble constant discrepency, g-2 experiment, schrodingers cat and imaginary numbers, which all seem to be indicating new physics at work but the most simple of explanation that I was looking for was never really answered "Whats up with the golden ratio appearing in nature?" . Que this video - which came out 3 years ago; I wouldn't have been prepared to truly understand the significance of these concepts until today and I'm certain that the tile is being laid, one at a time, to some new knowledge to be infered from reality. Thank you for everything that you do.

I know right? It's amazing.
Wow I both love and hate that nature allows non-perfect symmetry.
And this “can never tell which patter you’re on” sounds suspiciously close to some descriptions of parallel universe. Which is really cool.
It may sound like the infinite parallel universe theory, but at it's core, what IS the infinite parallel universe theory, if not a set of infinite patterns?
You get a similar idea on regular, vanilla tilings. If you get dropped on an infinite hexagonal tiling, you can never know which angle you're facing. (You can only know up to multiples of 60 degrees.)
There's a similar deal with Penrose tilings, by the way. You can have at most one point of true 5-fold symmetry and no point of 10-fold symmetry. But if you get dropped on a Penrose tiling facing a random direction, and you can only see finitely much of it at once, you can only know what direction you're facing up to multiples of 1/10 of a turn (36 degrees).
It reminded me of an old vsauce video about how many different infinities there are.
@@Mernom no, those multiples parallel universes hipothesis is not what is commonly said on internet in fiction.
There is the multiple words interpretations of quantum mechanics that only account for the uncertainty of particle being in multiple place at once (it will not make you the president in a parallel universe).
