Roger Penrose. Sir Roger Penrose, OM, FRS, HonFInstP (born 8 August 1931) [1] is a British mathematician, mathematical physicist, philosopher of science and Nobel Laureate in Physics. [2] He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics in the University of Oxford, an emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford, and an honorary fellow of St ...
Roger Penrose, British mathematician and relativist who in the 1960s calculated many of the basic features of black holes. He notably proved, with Stephen Hawking, that all matter within a black hole collapses to a singularity with infinite density and zero volume.
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 · The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez for their work on black holes. Roger Penrose is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, and emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford.
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 this phone interview, recorded just after the announcement of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, Roger Penrose recounts the story of how a particular crossroads held the key to his seminal 1965 paper on the theoretical basis of black holes.
Nobelprize.org met physicist Roger Penrose on 4 March 2021. We spoke to him about growing up, how his passion for maths developed and why he finds it so surreal to be a Nobel Laureate. Could you tell us a bit about when you were a child?
Roger Penrose is one of the world’s most prominent theoretical physicists who in 1965 produced the mathematics that showed how stars collapse to form black holes.
