Скачать или смотреть The Shape That Shouldn't Exist (It Broke Math)

Stop looking at your floor. The pattern repeats. It always repeats. For 60 years, mathematicians have been searching for a shape that breaks this rule—a single tile that can cover an infinite floor without ever creating a repeating pattern. They called it "The Einstein."

And they thought it was impossible.

Until a retired print technician named David Smith sat down at his kitchen table with some cardstock and a pair of scissors.

In this video, we visualize the "Hat" and the "Spectre", the shapes that solved the "Aperiodic Monotile" problem and proved that simple rules can create infinite chaos.

Topics Covered:

The "Einstein" Problem (It doesn't mean Albert Einstein!)

Periodic vs. Aperiodic Tiling

David Smith's "Hat" discovery

The "Vampire Tile" (The Spectre) and why it has no reflection
