(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The Andromeda Paradox, originally from Roger Penrose, is a brain-melting thought experiment that brings up the question of whether the future is still open or already fixed ...

Sir Roger Penrose, who won the Nobel Prize for Physics for his work on black holes, has invited her to meet in person at Oxford University, where he is an Emeritus Professor. Ms Lopez, 28 ...

When British physicist Roger Penrose suggested in 1969 that energy could be pulled from a rotating black hole, it sparked a half-century of exploration. Penrose proposed that inside the ergosphere ...

The theory of the black hole bomb was first proposed by physicist Roger Penrose back in 1971. The idea was that the angular momentum of a moving black hole and the energy that creates could be ...

One prediction, made by James Terrell and Roger Penrose in 1959, is that objects other than a sphere (with its enviable rotational symmetry) will appear rotated to another observer. "It is shown ...

That is, unless you go with something like a Penrose Wave Tile. Discovered by mathematician Roger Penrose, they never exactly repeat, no matter how you lay them out. [carterhoefling14] decided to ...

This strange twist in perception is known as the Terrell-Penrose effect, named after physicists James Terrell and Roger Penrose. The idea dates back to 1959 when both men, working separately ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over.
