Penrose
Penrose is a surname, most notably associated with British mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose, known for work on relativity, consciousness, and geometric tilings.
Penrose tiles are non-repeating patterns that cover a plane without gaps—an aperiodic tiling with fivefold symmetry: The floor was laid in a Penrose pattern.
The Penrose triangle is an impossible figure depicting a triangular object that couldn't exist in three dimensions.
