The Big Bang may mark an end—not the start—of a previous universe's aeon. Penrose's theory sees the universe as an eternal ...

One might think that understanding the most mysterious theory in physics shouldn’t be difficult for artificial intelligence (AI). This isn’t about clever software, though, but about something ...

The idea is closely related to Penrose tilings, first explored by British mathematician Sir Roger Penrose. These tilings also lack a simple repeating pattern but contain hidden order when mapped to ...

By and large though, whatever pattern you choose, it will normally end up repeating on some scale or other. That is, unless you go with something like a Penrose Wave Tile.

The latest installment is the Penrose Roundabout in South Philly, which has replaced a large and complex signalized intersection at Moyamensing, Penrose and Packer avenues. “The intersection was ...

Patchen Barss Atlantic, $55 In September 1964, mathematician Roger Penrose crossed a road near his office in Birkbeck College, London, deep in conversation with cosmologist Ivor Robinson.

They fit together seamlessly, yet the pattern they create is perpetually unresolved. So it also is with Penrose the man.

After the case was settled out of court, “Penrose tiles never again surprised anyone entering the loo,” writes Patchen Barss in “The Impossible Man,” his new biography of Sir Roger.
