20th Century’s Greatest Living Scientist | Sir Roger Penrose

Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

Sir Roger Penrose is a renowned physicist and mathematician known for pioneering the theory of twistors and his contributions to differential geometry, which have significantly impacted our understanding of space-time. Roger's work has been instrumental in advancing theories related to general relativity and quantum mechanics, including the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems.
