Penrose: Impossible Shapes to Nobel Prize

In 1954, Roger Penrose happened upon an exhibition of E. C. Escher in Amsterdam. It inspired him to construct the “impossible figure”, now called the Penrose Triangle or Penrose Tribar. A shape that looks like a solid three-dimensional triangular form, but that is impossible to realise in 3D Euclidean space. Penrose received half of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1965 paper “Gravitational Collapse and Space-Time Singularities” showing how black holes can form.

I don’t think I spoke in detail but there’s not much else since, (if you know me) my favorite is Knight-Kara x Dragon-Oso (or really just the Full Bokko Hero X outfits).

I’m a big fan of Fire Emblem, so I love medieval stuff like knights and dragons. I don’t have a whole world built around them but you know that one fic is a good example of what I’d like for them. (minus all the sad stuff) I guess I just like “enemy becomes friend” trope a lot, (or friend becomes enemy trope is what kills me the most), so you know, knights vs dragons but knight ends up banging the dragon lolwoops.
