Alexey Pajitnov, the mind behind Tetris, has shared some intriguing thoughts about the Rubik’s cube, calling it the symbol of modern civilization. He believes this iconic puzzle embodies creativity, logic, and human curiosity in a way that transcends cultures. Pajitnov suggests that Rubik’s cubes deserve a place beyond our planet, even proposing we send them into space as a representation of human ingenuity.
Interestingly, when it comes to Tetris itself, Pajitnov isn’t as confident about its spacefaring potential. He says the game would be too complicated for such a mission, hinting that the simplicity and tangible nature of the Rubik’s cube might make it a better ambassador for us among the stars. It’s a fascinating perspective, especially coming from someone whose work has become synonymous with gaming worldwide.
