Hey so you remember this thing that everyone on mathblr got excited about recently?

This is the hat, and it's what's called an "aperiodic monotile". This means that no matter how you arrange copies of this tile, you can never get an arrangement that will repeat infinitely (think of it like the irrational numbers of tilings). This was big news in mathematics as while sets of more than one tiles have been found that are aperiodic (e.g: The Penrose Tiles), this was the first tile that's aperiodic by itself, hence "monotile". (There are some caveats to this but that's not important for understanding this post)

However.

If you look at images of the hat tiling, you may notice something.

If you look at the tiles labled 1 and 2, you'll see that one's a reflected copy of the other. In fact, any infinite arrangement with hats requires you to you mix unreflected and reflected tiles. Which raises the question: is it possible to have an aperiodic monotile that doesn't need reflections?

Presenting the Spectre, A chiral aperiodic monotile.

Using only translation and rotation, any arrangement of copies of this tile will never repeat.

Mathematically speaking, this is really fucking cool.

The paper on it is still in preprint, but hopefully I won't need to retract this post. A copy of it can be found here and a post going into some more details of how the shape was discovered is here.

Callum Jaguar C-X75, 2024. Ian Callum’s design and engineering consultancy has built a second road-legal Jaguar C-X75. The C-X75, designed by Callum, was presented at the 2010 Paris motor show but the project was cancelled before production began due to the global economic crisis. However a number of cars were built by Williams Advanced Engineering for the James Bond film Spectre. It is one of these cars that has been rebuilt by Callum restoring much of the functionality that the C-X75 would have had if it made it to production. This includes control electronics allowing for road and track drive modes and an active aerodynamics package to improve stability. The interior has been fully refitted and bought up to date with 3 touchscreens and critical controls (including the ignition button) placed on the roof-mounted console.

OFFtober Day 8 - "Game of Mortal Fall" I've always wanted to draw fanart of the craziest minigame in OFF! Gosh this is such a cool part of the game

id: illustration of the 'game of mortal fall' minigame from the game off. the batter and two of his add-ons are falling down a long chute, surrounded by large spectres. the perspective is angled as if the viewer was looking up at them from below. end id. Credit to @astraldreams-ids for the id, thank you for the suggestion!
