Summary

Description
English: In the demonstration, the properties of aperiodicity, rotation, and reflection of the Einstein mono-tile were utilized to create a physics-based effect. By layering polarized Einstein mono-tiles in one plane and a moving polarizer on top of it, produces an interesting blinking pattern which highlights the rotation of the mono-tiles. The experiment could further be extended into a full color demonstration to showcase the chirality of sugars! The latter could serve as an example of how beauty could be found at the intersection of Math, Physics, and Chemistry!
