The Big Bang may mark an end—not the start—of a previous universe's aeon. Penrose's theory sees the universe as an eternal ...

One might think that understanding the most mysterious theory in physics shouldn’t be difficult for artificial intelligence (AI). This isn’t about clever software, though, but about something ...

The idea is closely related to Penrose tilings, first explored by British mathematician Sir Roger Penrose. These tilings also lack a simple repeating pattern but contain hidden order when mapped to ...

By and large though, whatever pattern you choose, it will normally end up repeating on some scale or other. That is, unless you go with something like a Penrose Wave Tile.

Penrose Roundabout is South Philly’s newest traffic-calming effort Admired for their improved safety and efficiency compared to traffic lights, roundabouts are growing nationwide — including in ...

Roger Penrose, a mathematician and physicist, is still working at age 93.

This understanding agrees with the explanation given by Levine and Steinhardt, which was based on an earlier discovery by British mathematician, Sir Roger Penrose (2020 Nobel Prize laureate in ...

They fit together seamlessly, yet the pattern they create is perpetually unresolved. So it also is with Penrose the man.

“The Impossible Man,” by Patchen Barss, depicts the British mathematical physicist and Nobelist Sir Roger Penrose in all his iconoclastic complexity.
