Is this confirmed? Like yea the picture looks legit, but anybody do this with physical blocks or at least something other than ms paint?

Visual proofs can be deceptive, e.g. the infinite chocolate bar.

I feel like the pixalation on the rotated squares is enough to say this picture is not proof.
Again I am not saying they are wrong, just that it would be extremely easy make a picture where it looks like all the squares are all the same size.

I was joking about the proof but there’s a non-pixelated version in the comments here

It is confirmed. I don’t understand it very well, but I think this video is pretty decent at explaining it.

Mathematicians would be very excited if you could find a better way to pack them such that they can be bigger.
So it’s not like there is no way to improve it. It’s just that we haven’t found it yet.
