Roger PenroseÌýis one of the world’s most prominent theoretical physicists whoÌýin 1965 produced the mathematics that showed how stars collapse to form black holes. With Stephen Hawking, he showed that if Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct, then there would be a singularity, a point of infinite density and space-time curvature, where time has a beginning. PenroseÌýshared the Wolf Prize for physics with Stephen Hawking for this work on the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems.

Penrose is also known as the founding father ofÌýquantum gravity through his work on twistor theory, which addresses the geometry of space-time. He is an emeritus professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford, and the author of several books about the nature of space, time and reality.
