Elusive ‘Einstein’ Solves a Long-standing Math Problem|#shorts

Last November, after a decade of failed attempts, David Smith, a self-described shape hobbyist of Bridlington in East Yorkshire, England, suspected that he might have finally solved an open problem in the mathematics of tiling: That is, he thought he might have discovered an “einstein.” In less poetic terms, an einstein is an “aperiodic monotile,” a shape that tiles a plane, or an infinite two-dimensional flat surface, but only in a nonrepeating pattern. (The term “einstein” comes from the Germa

For anyone wondering the tiling you see in the screen is not the Einstein Tiling, it is actually another aperiodic tiling (a tiling wich doesn't repeat itself) called the Penrose Tiling wich tiles with just 2 tiles: the "kyte" and the "dart" unlike the Einstein Tiling wich just one tile, hence the name "Einstein": [Ein] one [stein] stone
