Aperiodic Tile News

Aperiodic tile news! Whereas the ‘hat’ aperiodic monotile used reflected copies in the tiling: a new shape has been found that requires no reflections at all! Very satisfying. Dang, and I see that I got so carried away that the first tweet has the “wrong link”. Sorry. Information about the Spectre at cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/spectre/. Paper at arxiv.org/abs/2305.17743. Enjoy!

Matt Parker shares enthusiastic news about a new aperiodic tile that requires no reflected copies, then Craig S. Kaplan apologizes for including the wrong link while discussing the Spectre tile and its paper. The joke is the overly excited, self-correcting academic thread about a highly specialized mathematical discovery, suitable as a reaction to niche enthusiasm or pedantic corrections.
