  1. #Penrose #Tiling is a fascinating geometric pattern discovered by physicist Roger Penrose that covers an infinite plane completely without ever repeating itself.

    Instead of traditional translational symmetry, it possesses a unique five-fold rotational symmetry and forms structures known as quasicrystals, which mirror patterns found in rare natural minerals.

  3. 🚀 Wow, the internet was desperately craving another **"revolutionary"** periodic table #website. 🤯 With the technological prowess of dragging and printing, #John #Graham-Cumming finally delivers the #Penrose #tiling nerd fest nobody asked for. 🎉 Because, obviously, we needed #Cloudflare to host this monumental breakthrough. 🏆

  6. #KnowledgeBit: The #Penrose #Stairs are a two-dimensional optical illusion that depicts a staircase that forms a continuous loop. The stairs make four 90-degree turns as they ascend or descend.

    When viewed from a specific angle, it gives the illusion that the stairs are continuously ascending or descending. However, the structure is physically impossible to exist in three-dimensional space.

  7. Noto un dejo de ironía en esa mentecilla súper ágil del señor #Penrose 😁😁

  8. Projecting the Standard 6D Lattice to 3d by projecting 5 Dimensions to 2D Penrose-style and just leaving the last.

  9. This is literally the dark side of the Penrose Tiling.

    So you know the Penrose Tiling is a 2D-Projection of a 5-dimensional grid?

    This is the Projection to the other 3 Dimensions.

  10. Alan Turing had proven that determining whether an arbitrary program will halt (terminate) or run forever is non-computable.

    Sir Roger Penrose claims that human consciousness might involve non-computable processes, thus won't be achievable with current computer-driven AI implementations. However, this doesn't mean that these AIs won't be better than humans in certain tasks.

    Shadows of the Mind provides an illuminating look at where these profound changes may take place and what our future understanding of the world may be.

  12. @bookstodon

    But perhaps the most interesting wrinkle in Shadows of the Mind is #Penrose's excursion into microbiology, where he examines cytoskeletons and microtubules, minute substructures lying deep within the brain's neurons. (He argues that #microtubules--not neurons--may indeed be the basic units of the brain, which, if nothing else, would dramatically increase the brain's computational power.)

  13. @bookstodon

    #Penrose cuts a wide swathe through modern science, providing penetrating looks at everything from Turing machines (computers programmed from artificial intelligence) to the implications of Godel's theorem maintaining that conscious thinking must indeed involve ingredients that cannot adequately be stimulated by mere computation.

  14. Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness by Roger Penrose, 1994

    #Penrose points the way to a new science, one that may eventually explain the physical basis of the human mind.

  16. Das Ganze gibt es natürlich auch als Animation. Im Computer kann durchaus auf der Treppe im Kreis gegangen werden.
    Betrachtet man die Szene aus einer anderen Perspektive, so kann man sehen, dass die Figürchen von der höchsten Stufe auf die niedrigste springen müssen und umgekehrt. Und das natürlich ohne Zeitverzug.

  17. Die Konstruktion der Escher-Treppe: Links aus der "Escher-Perspektive" gesehen, rechts aus einer beliebigen anderen Richtung.
    Die optische Täuschung ist ein Phänomen der Perspektive, die Treppe existiert in der Realität.

    Für Besserwisser: Die Treppe muss natürlich oben ein wenig schmaler sein als unten, damit die Stufen in der Perspektive zusammenpassen

  18. Dieses Poster der Escher-Treppe*) hängt schon seit über 50 Jahren in meiner Wohnung.
    Und schon immer wollte ich dieses Gebäude bauen.

    Ja, das geht, denn diese Treppe ist real - das Einzige, was man nicht kann, ist darauf im Kreis gehen.

    *) wird auch Penrose-Treppe genannt, da er sich ebenfalls mit dem Problem beschäftigt hat.
