- Self-similar quasicrystals exhibit long-range order, quasiperiodicity, non-crystallographic symmetry, and discrete scale invariance.
- The paper generalizes quasicrystals from Euclidean space to Minkowski spacetime, constructing Lorentzian quasicrystals.
- Novel features of Lorentzian quasicrystals compared to Euclidean ones are highlighted.
- Speculative ideas suggest our (3+1)D universe could be embedded in a (9+1)D torus, T^{9,1}.
- This embedding might explain the seesaw relationship between Planck, vacuum energy, and electroweak scales.
