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. […]
Is it a meteor shower? Space debris? No, it’s something much, much worse. Our nearest neighbor is a full Moon no more. The Moon exploded and splintered into millions of fragments. Enormous lunar rocks are hurtling toward Earth. Could this wipe us off the face of the planet? How could […]

If the Earth had an edge, I hope it would look like this. The edge of a flat Earth. I know, I know, we’ve talked about it before. But there’s something mesmerizing about it. A flat Earth solar eclipse. Diagonally growing trees. The great wall of ice, guarded by NASA, […]
