The Future of Cosmology | Roger Penrose

Join Nobel Prize-winning mathematician Roger Penrose and philosopher of science Katie Robertson as they discuss the forces that govern our cosmos and the equations which define our reality.

Is the universe reborn in cycles?

Have you ever been curious about the furthest reaches of the night sky, the biggest forces in the universe, and the fundamental equations defining our reality? Join Nobel Prize winning mathematician Roger Penrose and philosopher of science Katie Robertson as they discuss the lives they’ve dedicated to investigating these questions, the mysteries of the universe and their plans of where to look next.

Roger Penrose is a world-renowned mathematician, mathematical physicist, philosopher of science and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He is best known for his work on general relativity and sharing the Wolf Prize for Physics with Stephen Hawking for his work on black holes.

Roger has been at the top of his game nearly his entire life. Even now, his intellect is razor sharp. It's simply amazing.

My favorite modern day scientist! He has a unique combination of humility and brilliance.

[arnesaknussemm]

When Penrose talks, I listen. A true independent critical thinker.

[user_user]

What a peaceful, intelligent, wise man!

[iraklikavelashvili]

Roger is so brilliant I’d listen 10hrs explanations without a blink

[alexsuited]

Love Penrose he keeps an open mind, and that's what science is. Always keeping an open mind, so when new ideas come forth our understanding can be and should be to correct what's correctable where possible in the interest of science itself. Great video

Sir Roger Penrose. I saw your knighting in 1994, was awesome to watch. I never thought I would have the pleasure of being able to watch one of your talks in "this age". Thank you.

[williamkelley]

I am going to miss R Penrose, his brilliance and love of ideas, his brave independence of thought. I sure hope his work is being carried on capably by individuals he has likely nurtured and inspired.

[samikchak]

My favourite physicist alive on this planet 🙏🙏

[freefall]

I enjoy Penrose immensely. If mathematics was reality, CCC would be my favorite theory

[catcrue]

I love when they let scientists go off and they don't dumb down the content... Keep it high 💪😮

[johnb]

Penrose inspires me to think more about everything. Question everything without being overbearing towards others. A lost skill these days.

[squamish]

Man, I hope he lives to be 100. We could use another eight years of this dude. Especially now, when we're literally questioning _everything_ around us as AI and biotechnology explode onto the scene. Or at least until, ironically, AI is able to do what Penrose can. Which might be in two years or so XD

[KeithRowley]

I love this mans’s astonishing brilliance.

[kokomanation]

He is my role model as a scientist to say the least.

[srdjanpro]

This was very pleasant to watch. Felt like we're maybe just stipulating the concept of infinity again. I don't have a remarkable understanding of physics, but it was very easy to drift with thoughts into a perspective where the start and end of the our universe are not at the extremes, and perhaps the time inbetween isn't linear. One way or another, I'm no better at comprehending singularity. Though I would be quite entertained if somebody ultimately proved that time runs in a circle.

[Raging.Geekazoid]

How does CCC make sense physically? What is the physical significance of conformal mapping supposed to be? It sounds like cosmic time compression and space compression. Either that or the universe slows down between eras by WAY too many orders of magnitude. And how is "cosmological constant" better than "dark energy"?

[shankarbalakrishnan]

Thks roger for telling me I wasn't wasting my time ❤❤🎉🎉

[Alex-]

he is the right person to ask about the meaning of life. His life certainly had meaning

[FrancisTSYu]

It is a pleasure to inform you that my book on “Introduction to Physically Realizable Physics” has been published by KDP with a paper bound book, which can be found on Amazon. I anticipate this book will change the dynamics of our modern physics.
