#Physicists dream up ‘spacetime #quasicrystals’ that could underpin universe
Orderly structures that never repeat can exist in melded space and time of Einstein’s relativity
Instead of existing in two or three spatial dimensions, these quasicrystals’ structures would bridge space and time. Although theoretical, the researchers suggest that such spacetime quasicrystals may appear in nature, perhaps even underlying the structure of the universe.

Physicists dream up ‘spacetime quasicrystals’ that could underpin the universe

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

My 'quasicrystal' film #37 from 2009 will be shown in a bit less than a week, on Sunday the 21st of September at 20h30 in Cinerama 1 in Rotterdam, as part of the friendly Conflux festival.

"In one study, Sun and collaborators adapted a method for studying crystals to determine that at least some quasicrystals are thermodynamically stable — their atoms won’t settle into a lower-energy arrangement. This finding helps explain how and why quasicrystals form. A second study has yielded a new way to engineer quasicrystals and observe them in the process of forming."
