You’ve probably seen this design before, but do you know its ANCIENT origins? #TEDTalk #History
What can we make of a design that shows up over and over in disparate cultures throughout history? Theorist Terry Moore explores “Penrose tiling” — two shapes that fit together in infinite combinations without ever repeating — and ponders what it might mean. Watch his full talk here:

SpaceX Starship Flight Test 15: Everything That Happened in 12 Minutes
SpaceX successfully launched Starship Flight Test 15 from Starbase, Texas, and was able to get the ship into orbit, where it deployed 26 Starlink satellites. The Super Heavy Booster booster splashed down off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and SpaceX will attempt to catch Starship back on its launchpad on Saturday, Nov 14,…

iPhone Duo Livestream: How Many Folds Can Apple’s Phone Take? Day 15
Apple’s iPhone Duo is out and we want to see how durable it is. So we built a robot to fold it 20,000+ times a day to test its limits. How long do you think it will last? 100,000 folds? 200,000 folds? 500,000 folds? Tune in and watch the testing live. We’ll have CNET’s editors…

The geometries Penrose worked on are more complicated than those of the ancients, for the record. Kepler stumbled on several as well.

If it’s existed for thousands of years why is it called penrose tiling. Another attempt by the west to discount the contributions of POC.

I’ve accidentally made some of these while doodling in middle school without knowing what they were called. They’re fun. They appeal to a desire for something complex yet organized. I’m not sure that it requires shared cultural context to enjoy those qualities.

Why illustrate the vid with stuff that isn’t penrose tilings? Like the floor tiles under the white chairs, that’s clearly a repeating, regular tiling pattern, not a penrose tiling.

The idea that somehow these acutely mathematical phenomena are somehow instinctively derived is untenable against what we already know of the history of math and geometry, the human delight and reassurance in repeating patterns etc. when Penrose shows a pattern which rarely, if ever repeats.

If that pattern is life, then why isn’t a circle life? Or a nesting of Venn diagrams? “It’s life”… okay. So is a smile, good food, brutality… yeesh.

I’m guessing you’re trying to make an ancient vs modern point, but the phrasing “even the Middle East” bugs me. As the “cradle of civilization” why wouldn’t we expect to see the patterns there? The Middle East is pretty well known for these patterns, and you even listed Egypt first.

Not to be that guy, but the 1970s might be a bit late for discovered.
