Fang Fang presents a new method of generating empires for local vertex configurations in quasicrystals. She introduces the concept of the empire problem in quasicrystals and its important application in modeling non-local particle interaction in physics. Two old methods of generating the empire of the Penrose tiling are briefly introduced. […]
Read the story: https://aperture.gg/blogs/the-universe/the-most-dangerous-thing-in-the-universe Merch: https://aperture.gg/merch We’ve gotten so good at adapting to our surroundings that at this point, most natural disasters don’t pose much of a threat to our species as a whole. But what couldn’t we withstand? What, if it happened tomorrow, could end the human story instantly […]

Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you, wait a minute, why are you twinkling so much? Um, guys, that’s no diamond in the sky. That looks like a supernova. As much as we love to blow stuff up here on Earth, no bombs or pyrotechnics could compare to […]
