Set a Light Trap - the Penrose Puzzle
| Division: | International | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Calgary Youth | | City: | Calgary, AB | | School: | Father Lacombe School | | Abstract: | I propose a new approach to the unsolved Penrose problem by introducing the new concept of black holes and stars. Also, I propose studying the fundamental problem of billiards in spherical plane and solve it for the first natural case. Finally, I study the Poincare question about geodesics on the surface of convex higher order deltahedra. This leads me to a new protein folding model. |
