Hobbyist's New Shapes Amaze Math World in UK.

A retired print technician from the UK, David Smith, has discovered two new shapes that have stunned the mathematics world. The first shape, called "the hat," is the first single shape ever found that can completely cover an infinitely large flat surface without ever repeating the same pattern. The second shape, called "the specter," requires no mirror image, making it an even purer einstein. Smith, a hobbyist with no training in math, stumbled upon these shapes while pursuing his hobby of looking for interesting shapes.
