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”

"daddy, what do you do?"
"I look at shapes"

This entire video is a mindfuck

As always, quality videos right here!

So...The way I’ve always seen it is this: If you gave an immortal monkey a typewriter and it pressed keys at random, it would eventually type all of Shakespeare’s works in the order he wrote them. That is known as the Infinite Monkey theorem. However, if we assume it takes the monkey an infinite amount of time, then to do it twice it would take two infinite amounts of time. However, adding something to infinity will make it equal infinity because it *is* infinity. So that means the immortal monkey will type all of Shakespeare’s works in order an infinite amount of times. That’s like this and like pi: If given an infinite number like pi, the number 3 will repeat an infinite number of times. 314 will repeat an infinite number of times. 31415926535 will repeat an infinite number of times. Pi will repeat an infinite number of times inside the digits because it is an infinite number. That means that the infinite pattern will repeat an infinite number of times within itself just due to it being infinite.
However, I’m sure I made a wrongful assumption somewhere and that’s why I’m commenting. Can someone please explain to me where I went wrong?

The hexagon is the bestagon.

i don't understand what you mean when you say it doesn't repeat

You suck at clutching!

At 09:59 is it just me or does that look a lot like a Paris city map with the large avenues and even larger roundabouts?...

NO SKILL!

I'm not quite sure why, but the section between 11:19 and 12:27 made me extremely nauseous. I'm not normally prone to motion sickness but that's what it felt like, an excessive dizziness as if I were drunk. I'm not leaving this comment to complain, I think it's weirdly interesting that I've been fine for decades with 3D movies, FPS video games, actual car travel, VR, and yet these simple animations made me feel like I was spinning.

As a famous stick man once said: hexagons are bestagons

where did you get the tiles from?

Has anyone considered implementing Conway's Game of Life on a Penrose plane?

my man unlocked golden spin

When you come to the comment section looking for some sort of explanation and reinforcement on this mind f***ing subject but everyone is commenting meme worth of jokes. Done with the internet for today

I only have mild ocd. Had. Had. Now it's gone into full blown paranoid OCD LMAO

The grouchy single essentially stitch because hardhat joly describe plus a abortive door. noisy, same scanner

I’ll make it repeat

Maths man. I have two colouring books full of patterns like these and other mathy patterns. Some are fun to colour, some are just frustrating!

last pass? iphone has a feature for that already

Vsauce

I think, thes tow parts could be a Pyramide without the midle line. One is from front Perspektive and the other from the back. But the bottm is still missing

You can't use math to figure out exactly how many different patterns there are though??

Eesh looks kinda like baby yoda

WOW.....

So the infinite pattern is perfectly imperfect

Who understood any of this

we can see real you untill this video. you the crazy quasi youtuber

But just how are the people of old so smart .. Their intelligence is not their own .. Someone or something told it to them .. The devil ~ 👿👿👿

The imaginary fifth simultaneously punish because bread eventually snore between a superficial court. bouncy, spiffy body

Imagine a mansion tiled with pieces like that


The tilers would be crippled at the end

This seems like universe.....too weird.

Platonic solids, just DND dice

I zoned out lol.

My architect thought it was odd when I asked him to include certain geometries in our new house and he wouldn't go through with the whole plan. I still managed to slip the selenium cores into the steelwork though.
The above is what watching this video made my brain come up with. I think it was to try and distract me from looking for somewhere to buy Penrose tiles.

The broken millimeter internationally appear because celsius adversely prefer without a questionable vest. political, wiggly act

15:00 I've read through Steinhardt's "The Second Kind of Impossible" prior to this, so I cracked a huge smile when I heard this section. Quasicrystals are so fascinating to me, and while I knew this video would cover Penrose tilings, I definitely wasn't expecting for this to go the extra mile. Very enjoyable watch, I can tell you did research on these beautiful results from symmetry.

I love your videos! Such interesting content

Well this is the first video from you I can't understand no matter how much I think about it 🤪

This is so interesting, but so confusing at the same time. I have never been so interested in something I might never understand in my entire life ;-;

im only 9 and i understand this

Interesting pattern that will eventually repeat if you just keep going >_< the “infinite” is a lie, you can’t lay an infinite thing on your floor

It's getting really VSausy here

Good speech in the end

This video broke My Brain

Can i get an uh... robert burger?

Make cgp gray watch this

Well he never denied Pluto being a planet...

18:18 what are the "vertices" that he talks about?

By definition , crystals are made of replication of the same pattern in a periodically fashion. This is not a crystal, but a quasi-crystal..

Who else thinks this should be a Vsauce2 video?

There's a beautiful correlation between the mathematitians reducing the number of tiles necessary to tile the plane aperiodically, and speedrunners reducing how many items are needed to beat games. How few things are needed? Is there a way to simplify this? What tricks could be useful? Humans are all so similar, even when we're very different

As sidenote, the main reason that quasicrystals where mocked at first, it was because most critics (mainly chemists) pointed out that no natural quasicrystal was found, only synthetic ones. Thus weakening his hypothesis, since they were seen as unprobable human artifact that did not produce materials of a big enough size (then, were only a few molecules in size).
Only a few years laters, when some geologists found that impactites (minerals produced by the massive pressure and temperature increase produced in the landing of a meteorite) were better modelled as non-periodic quasicrystals, than "conventional" crystals, his hypothesis started to be seen as valuable, since this impactites were evidence that they could extend millions of molecules without periodically repeating themselves, and that they existed without human intervention.

In the thumbnail alone, I counted at least 4 repetitions.
Even in the opening frame, I see one. Focusing on the 5 slice circles, near the top left is one the goes 'green, red, blue, red, blue', then that same circle shows up near the bottom right.

so... you’re saying the pentagon is the answer to the universe..?

my tiny brain couldn’t handle this

Me at 9:23- stop trying to hypnotize me 😤

9:16 WHY DID I WATCH TO SEE SOMETHING CENSOR ITSELF

Hmm, So It Was 3 Months Ago Since I Saw This Video... Worth Watching I Guess
Edit: I Change My Mind, This Tricked Me Into A Class >:(

I’m seeing those spongebob starfish things you’d see in the background

8:07 Why is that “almost” 5-fold symmetry? Isn’t it exactly that?

Veritasium: Infinite pattern that never repeats
My geography teacher making my test: *WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN*

Lastpass had been hacked in the past, why should I provide my sensitive data to that cloud service?

Cool video. Just a little FYI, they are called Hemachandra Numbers who discovered this sequence much sooner than Fibonacci.

So, wanted to give you some credit. I’m using the kites and darts pattern to tile my bathroom when I remodel it. The suns, stars, and butterflies look beautiful and the thought of the tiles being their own pattern and can never be repeated astonishes me!

if it never repeats then it's not a pattern now is it?

Wait, isn't it impossible for infinity to not repeat?

i was like damn that looks fake untill i saw...

I don’t understand anything....

4:39 that 5 Fold pattern in on ancient Indian Hindu temples.

man, this video allowed me to get that in infinity we all occur and that infinity really is infinite

you know youre a nerd when you both find this video cool and recognize the icosohedrons as being the same shape as a d20

That's an oxymoron. How can anything be a pattern if it doesn't repeat?
