including the 1988 Wolf Prize in Physics,
which he shared with Stephen Hawking
for the Penrose - Hawking singularity
theorem.

He was awarded the 2020 Nobel

Prize “for the discovery that black
hole formation is a robust
prediction of general relativity”
He is noted for having developed the
cosmic censorship conjecture, which
is a hypothesis for why black hole
singularities are hidden from us.

Penrose also invented

‘twistor theory,’ a major
tool in quantum physics. In 1974 he created Penrose
It was proposed in 1967 Tiling, an aperiodic tiling system
as a possible path to that uses only two types of tiles
