June 2011 I'm about to prove a couple of negatives about Penrose tilings. Recall Donald Rumsfeld proudly and stupidly saying you couldn't prove a negative when it became obvious to everyone the weapons of mass destruction ruse was a complete phony. I had to wonder exactly how many classes he slept through when he got his degree at Princeton. Of course you can prove a negative. The only place where real proof exists is in math and we prove that things are impossible all the time. Let me give a couple examples. It is impossible to build a larger shape similar to a dart using kites and darts. The dart is the Penrose tile with the dent, and angle of 216°. If we want to build a bigger dart, it will have to have two 36° angles and a 216° angle, but the distance between these will have to be at least the length of long. We can't do this with these pieces, or if we achieve this, we will not have a long enough straight line to make the outside of the dart. This proof takes no math skills really. Notice this.
