🔢 Wow, mathematicians just "discovered" an infinite pattern using integer partitions to find primes! 🎉 Because we all know, finding primes in the 21st century is the Holy Grail of math, right? 🚀 Spoiler alert: primes are still whole numbers greater than 1. 🙄

🧩 Have you ever wondered why certain designs seem to show up in different cultures throughout history? Terry Moore dives into "Penrose tiling"—a fascinating concept where two simple shapes combine in infinite, non-repeating patterns. Could this be a universal connection through art and mathematics? 🤔✨

Terry Moore: A mysterious design that appears across millennia

What can we make of a design that shows up over and over in disparate cultures throughout history? Theorist Terry Moore explores "Penrose tiling" -- two shapes that fit together in infinite combinations without ever repeating -- and ponders what it might mean.
