Roger Penrose on Stephen Hawking's Phd exam #rogerpenrose #stephenhawking #universe

Sir Roger Penrose won the Nobel Prize in physics for his black hole singularity theorem. But shortly after he derived it, Stephen Hawking adapted it for his Phd thesis with respect to cosmology and the Big Bang . Penrose was Hawking's Phd examiner and here he recalls the story of what happened next.

One physics genius talking about another... I greatly admire both of them.

"A very good piece of work...."

[threadripper]

ANYTHING Roger Penrose says is spot on.

[sdal]

Two geniuses. But Penrose is a little more.

On PhD typical guidelines. What aspect of the Hawking’s PhD, presumably to do with Singularities, was, “an original and substantial contribution to human knowledge”? His proof? In which three countries was rights Thesis examined? Anyone know? Peter S. PhD

This an Absolute False one and a Ridiculous Technical Impossibility to prove it .
