She had a heart attack and fell as a response to this. Yes it’s kids being dumb but these are 14 year olds who should know better than to accost strangers, especially since they don’t know th ehealth profile of that stranger.

Exactly. The research paper goes into this concept actually with larger tiles made with the original tile: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798

I think the researchers used some computer programs to produce patches of tiles procedurally in the paper. Research paper is here free if you want to investigate: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798

Don't know the context but the chant sounds fine.

Eh, perhaps you are right to some extent about not being oniony enough (it’s my first post to the sub). But this is the first time a plane can be tiled aperiodically with a SINGLE tile. I’ve seen Veritasium’s video a while ago.

> A wonderfully wacky publicity stunt, the meatballs aren’t intended for human consumption. Even calling the creation mammoth meat is a bit of a stretch. It’s more like lab-made lamb mingled with a tiny amount of mammoth DNA.
Makes good click bait anyway.

To which scientists will you assign this task? Geologists? Nuclear physicists? Xerophytic botanists? Asking for a fiend. 8-)

Ah gotcha, basically I was thinking too granularly.
I think I sorta understand?

Scientists should better work on finding a cure against cancer and other diseases than wasting time with something like this.

I hate these trends of doing dumb pranks to unwitting strangers too, but this is pretty silly. Some kids put a bucket on a ladies head in target.
Don't do dumb shit like this to strangers, but... I mean it's just kids being dumb.

You see these small parts that look alike, but they do not repeat in the same order.
I believe that it might be possible, but of course this is not yet peer reviewed so it could be false as well.
Those few similar looking things aren't really repetition of the pattern if you think about it. If their surroundings and placement change every time... And if it never starts again from the beginning it never really repeats.

I guess I don't know enough about mathematics? To me it seems like I don't even have to go "infinitely far" when it seems to be doing so just a slight bit over?

You are wrong though. Think again what it means if the pattern would repeat itself. If you go infinite way that direction, does it ever start from the beginning and repeat itself? The answer is no.

Everyone playing moves to 3 digit numbers. Coaches can keep their numbers and batboys get them also. Distinguished hot dog vendors can also apply for a number.
