The Joy of Why

CHAPTER

Tiling Theory and Quasicrystals

This chapter explores the complexities of tiling theory, focusing on aperiodic tiles and the implications of their deformability. It delves into the innovative discoveries of quasicrystals, analyzing their unique patterns and how they challenge traditional crystallography. The discussion further examines the intersection of fractals, self-similar structures, and higher-dimensional tiling, illustrating both theoretical concepts and practical applications.
