Introduction to Quasicrystals (the basics)

nice vid..is there a part 2 coming?

i liked in info dude but whats with the breathing dude you are so nervise calm down do some yoga and shit

Fantastic. Where did you get the animation of the Penrose tiling? That would be an interesting idea for auxetics!

i spend alot of time with my face in microscope as a gemologist......lol....so im seeing hubble telescope piuctures in my gem material.......and the neat ways it cleaves and crystels line themselves and form...........funny its true ! as above so below...........sacred geometry and sequences,,flower of life, ...all show us the same........this is a great vid....if i could just turn up the volume......

interesting

Wow. pause at 7:03 and look at how many 3D shapes there are! you can see cubes, triangular prisms, rectangular prisms, pyramids, etc, etc. its so cool!

i barely hear the sound of your voice. can you make it clearer??

Is this kind of like fractals?

Sorry abot the broken english and lack of word to describe this. I could slide the 3d objects together and they locked sort of, and I could join them together infinently and make a cluster where the nexst piece could go anywhere I pleaced, filling all space in between and leaving no pockets. It was quite remarkable and I thought about making a sculpture from this or container or bottles of some sort. Doubt the shape can be found in nature, but who knows.

I once found a 2d shape, I turned into a 3d shape with the same quality regarding combinations. That is it could be tiled in 3d and locked togeather in the same manner as the 2d shapes. I am a huge fan of Escher, but I ave never seen him be able to do this though some 3d shapes have some resemblance to my shape. The structure was based on isometric shapes. No computers then. I figured it all out in my head and made a 3d model that worked.
