What is space, really? Thatβs one of the biggest questions in science. According to a pair of researchers from the Perimeter Institute, the answer to that is: a quasicrystal. What is a quasicrystal, and how is space a quasicrystal? Letβs take a look.

Colourful Kimchi! Fabulous colour mix of orange, reds and greens to create this tasty Kimchi.
More fabulous fermenting - kimchi! Swede, carrots, spring onions, red pepper, green chilli, garlic, root ginger, red onion, red chilli powder, salt and black pepper in this one. #kimchi #vegan #vegetarian #fermenting
This is Boulder Opal stone from Australia.
.
A type of gemstone that combines a host rock, usually ironstone or sandstone, and a precious opal. As the rock is forming, a silica compound containing water penetrates the rock, and deposits opal in the cracks.

What's the 'quantum metric' discussed in this article?
The state space βPβΏ has a KΓ€hler structure g + iΟ (Riemannian metric + i times symplectic structure). Given any map from any manifold to βPβΏ, we can pull this back and get a 'quantum metric' on that manifold!
Now physicists are measuring it!

20yrs ago we knew of maybe a few thousand stellar rotation periods. Kepler/K2 was a massive step to about 50k. This is the next, and most dramatic leap in our understanding! Bravo!!!!

@uberwensch.bsky.social - hey, here is someone who actually works on hadron scattering and how quarks manifest as jets. Complicated stuff!
Hey! Now you can read about my work on applied category theory here on Quanta magazine! And not just me, lots of folks....

A young barmaid behind the bar at the famous French nightclub Folies-Bergère is staring forward in a bored, introspective way. Behind her is a mirror which reflects the lively scene. At the top left you see the green shoes of a trapeze artists. More importantly, at right you see the back of the barmaid, and see that she is face to a man who leans close and seems to be requesting something. This is Manet's famous painting "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Bar_at_the_Folies-Berg%C3%A8re
The perspective looks all wrong. You're staring straight at this barmaid, but her reflection in the mirror is way off to right. Even worse, her reflection is facing a guy who doesn't appear in the main view!
But in 2000, a researcher showed this perspective is actually possible!

Dude thatβs a win π₯ and a hell of a shot

My heart goes out to you. No artist needs that level of chaos of esthetic in their lives
I feel your pain.
Doing the work appreciate you
