20th Century’s Greatest Living Scientist | Sir Roger Penrose

Sir Roger Penrose is a renowned physicist and mathematician known for pioneering the theory of twistors and his contributions to differential geometry, which have significantly impacted our understanding of space-time. Roger's work has been instrumental in advancing theories related to general relativity and quantum mechanics, including the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems.

[pandabearguy]

Pretty crazy to be this sharp at 93 years old

[NomenNescio]

This was the video that tipped me over to become a paying member.

This is so awesome.

[jeff]

I don't have the math to follow Penrose in most situations but, for whatever reason, I can visualize what he says. The Emperor's New Mind was such a great read when I was younger. Great interview, Curt.

[Dean-tobk]

No idea what Roger is saying, don’t care. Love this guy.

[ElephantWhisperer]

One of the last standing mainstream scientists who isn’t dogmatic to scientism and who isn’t afraid to say “I don’t know”. Pumped to listen to this!

[pookz]

I love Penrose’s aversion to feel like an old man telling anecdotes even though they’re fascinating. He wants to live in the present and continue talking current math and physics. As an older guy myself, I always shared this discomfort about slipping into one of my stories when I met people because it kind of always felt like a crutch to me where I didn’t have any interesting new ideas to talk about… :(😢

[Goat-eg]

Once I had an opportunity to talk with Roger and Micheal berry was also there. Many in public community and Physicists think Roger's idea (0:34) on intercession of Equivalence principle and Quantam superposition are dump. But Michael berry mentioned it as a profound and important thing others forget. Roger is 93. But still this age haven't affected him intellectualy. Hope he stays with us forever ❤❤

[theophrastusvonhoenheim]

You should get "It's okay to be technical on this podcast" on a T-shirt with how many times you've had to say that these past few months.

[adamalex]

And probably one of the smartest humans so far

[MrEiht]

He is SOO funny. He has such an amazing humor.

[brandonb]

Awesome discussion, thank you both!
Sir Penrose’s greatest gift is his ability to NOT remember arbitrary terms…I can relate.
His ability to communicate complex ideas in relatable terms/examples is under appreciated imo.
Have a great weekend All!✌🏼🤙🏼😊

[juaneliasmillasvera]

Penrose has the mental agility of a person half of his age and the wisdom of a wise men, this is impressive to watch.

[rishabhprasad]

The man the myth the immortal Roger Penrose🙏🏻.... looking forward to savour this podcast

[petebop]

Wow. New to your channel and was, quite literally, just searching through your backlog, hoping you had a chance to pick more from Penrose's impressive grey matter. Wonderful timing.

[karlsanders]

I'm a simple man. I hear mr.Penrose, I listen and absorb.
And yes inflation is a model that will expire. I believe the knowledge is all there, yet academic acceptance is not

[hubrisnxs]

This is greatly appreciated. Glad I'm a member

[TheLivirus]

Penrose believes he has terrible memory. Neil Turok implied that this is a common trait among physicists. I wonder if poor memory can be a feature, because it encourages the mind to compress information using simplifying rules: patterns, abstraction, generalization, analogy, models, etc.

[photographyandthecreativeyou]

I don't know if I understand 10% of what Roger Penrose says but I always like listening to him. Thanks Curt!

[Mikeduffey_]

The biggest legend there is!!! And he’s sitting next to Sir Roger Penrose. Jk Penrose is top tier
