Oct 6, 2020 · Professor Sir Roger Penrose, Honorary Fellow and alumnus of St John’s College Cambridge and honorary doctor of the University, has jointly won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity.
In 2010, Penrose reported possible evidence, based on concentric circles found in Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data of the cosmic microwave background sky, of an earlier universe existing before the Big Bang of our own present universe. [55]

Oct 6, 2020 · What did Roger Penrose figure out about black holes? Roger Penrose made his key contribution in 1965, not long after the discovery of superluminous objects called quasars.
