Shortly after that, he identified non-periodic tiling was possible with just two tile shapes.

Penrose figured out the ultimate solution to the non-periodic tiling puzzle which Penrose indicates can't be solved algorithmically.
-
They called it non-periodic tiling and the race was on to figure out who could find the least number of tile shapes that could be used for non-periodic tiling.

-
Penrose maintains that his solution to non-periodic tiling could not have been found via an algorithmic process.

Polling is a psychological one and the idea that you can somehow magically use random sampling for nonrandom nor non-periodic events, is the problem.

Ironically, many of the same scientists who deny the complex coding system of the DNA molecule as evidence of intelligent design also support the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence SETI project, which searches the far reaches of the galaxy for the signs of non-random, non-periodic radio signals as signs of alien intelligence.

(We could represent this with a long, non-periodic digital expression.)
