Draws quasiperiodic tilings; think of the implications on modern formica technology. In April 1997, Sir Roger Penrose, a British math professor who has worked with Stephen Hawking on such topics as relativity, black holes, and whether time has a beginning, filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against the Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which Penrose said copied a pattern he created (a pattern demonstrating that "a nonrepeating pattern could exist in nature") for its Kleenex quilted toilet paper. Penrose said he does n't like litigation but, "When it comes to the population of Great Britain being invited by a multinational to wipe their bottoms on what appears to be the work of a Knight of the Realm, then a last stand must be taken."

Tekent saneamde weromkommende tegels, wat tinken docht oan moderne formikatechnology. (keunststoftegels) Skreaun troch Timo Korvola. Yn april 1997 hat Sir Roger Penrose, in Britske wiskundeprofessor, dy' t mei Stephen Hawking wurke hat oan ûnderwerpen lykas relativiteitsteory, swarte gatten en of tiid in begjin hat, in rjochtssaak oanspand tsjin it bedriuw "Kimberly- Clark" wêrfan Penrose sei dat hja in patroan kopiearre hienen dat hy ûntwuren hie (in patroan dat oantoande dat in net- werheljend patroan yn de natoer bestean koe) foar it "Kleenex" húskepapier. Penrose sei dat hy net hold fan [litigation], mar "At it oankaam dat de populaasje fan Grut- Britanje útnoege waard om har kont ôf te feien mei wat it wurk blykt te wêzen fan in" Knight of the Realm "(Ridder fan it Keninkryk) dan moat der stelling nommen wurde".
