![]() ![]() Eventually, he discovered the Hawking-Penrose singularity, which led to the Nobel prize this year for Penrose. Penrose’s Cambridge colleague, Stephen Hawking, was looking for a generic solution. He has been visiting Calcutta for more than 25 years. For thirty years Oxford Mathematician Roger Penrose has challenged one of the key planks of Cosmology, namely the concept of Inflation, now over 40 years old, according to which our universe expanded at an enormous rate immediately after the Big Bang. ![]() Einstein afirmaba que lo más incomprensible acerca del universo es que es comprensible. I have known Roger Penrose closely for quite some time. Here they explain their positions in a work based on six lectures with a final debate, all originally presented at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge. Un interesante y fascinante debate entre dos gigantes de la ciencia, Stephen Hawking y Roger Penrose, sobre el origen y el futuro del universo. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united in a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? On this issue, two of the world's most famous physicists - Stephen Hawking ( A Brief History of Time ) and Roger Penrose ( The Emperor's New Mind and Shadows of the Mind ) - disagree. Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. ![]()
