Penrose also provided a formula to compute the decay of the superposition, using methods that were similar to Diósi’s earlier work. In this Diósi–Penrose (DP) model, the gravity-related wavefunction ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of ...

Congratulations to Penrose, Ghez and Genzel, and to black hole enthusiasts everywhere. ... gravity was an instantaneous force, replacing it with the notion that it propagated at the speed of light, ...

This model of collapse, related to gravity acting on heavy objects like cats, was invoked by Penrose and Hammeroff when developing their model of consciousness, 'Orch OR theory' (the Orchestrated ...

In this paper, we prove that the idea of Feynman and Penrose can be tested more decisively by observing the *skinniest* objects in the universe---namely, the tiny neutrinos---provided they have ...

But, from Feynman in the 1950s to Penrose today, ... that one has to look for quantum superpositions of sufficiently macroscopic objects to detect such an effect due to gravity, ...

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. With Stephen Hawking, he showed ...

The new discovery began to unfold in 2014, when Horowitz, Santos and Benson Way found that naked singularities could exist in a pretend 4-D universe called “anti-de Sitter” (AdS) space whose ...
