Oct 6, 2020 · "Penrose was the first to prove mathematically, in 1965, that they are a natural consequence of relativity theory and not just science fiction." Whenever the general public...
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 1964, Roger Penrose proposed critical mathematical tools to describe black holes. He showed that Einstein’s general theory of relativity means the formation of black holes must be seen as a natural process in the development of the universe.
Oct 6, 2020 · Roger Penrose showed that the general theory of relativity leads to the formation of black holes. Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez discovered that an invisible and extremely heavy object governs the orbits of stars at the centre of our galaxy.
Oct 13, 2020 · In 1974, Sir Roger designed a mathematical tiling system based on his work with black holes, known as Penrose tiling. Penrose tilings are examples of tilings that do not repeat themselves, or ‘aperiodic tilings’.
