Sir Roger Penrose OM FRS (rođen 8. augusta 1931.) jeste britanski matematičar, matematički fizičar, filozof nauke i nobelovac za fiziku.[1] On je emeritus Rouse Ball profesor matematike na Univerzitetu u Oxfordu, emeritus stipendista Wadham koledža u Oxfordu i počasni saradnik koledža St John's, Cambridge i University College London.[2]

Roger Penrose

Penrose je dao doprinos matematičkoj fizici opće relativnosti i kosmologije. Dobio je nekoliko nagrada i priznanja, uključujući Wolfovu nagradu za fiziku 1988., koju je podijelio sa Stephenom Hawkingom za Penrose - Hawkingove teoreme o singularnosti,[3] i jednu polovinu Nobelove nagrade za fiziku 2020. "za otkriće da je formacija crne rupe robusno predviđanje opće teorije relativnosti".[4][5] [a]

Roger Penrose, rođen u Colchesteru u Essexu, sin je Margaret (Leathes) i psihijatra i genetičara Lionela Penrosea.[b] Njegovi baka i djed po ocu bili su J. Doyle Penrose, umjetnik, porijeklom Irac, i The Hon. Elizabeth Josephine Peckover; a baka i djed po majci bili su fiziolog John Beresford Leathes i njegova supruga, Sonia Marie Natanson,[6][7] jevrejska Ruskinja koja je napustila Sankt Peterburg krajem 1880 -ih.[6] Njegov ujak bio je umjetnik Roland Penrose, čiji je sin sa fotografom Lee Miller Antony Penrose.[8][9] Penrose je brat fizičara Olivera Penrosea, genetičara Shirley Hodgson i šahovskog velemajstora Jonathana Penrosea.[10][11]

Penrose je Drugi svjetski rat proveo kao dijete u Kanadi, gdje mu je otac radio u Londonu, Ontario.[12] Penrose je pohađao University College School i University College London, gdje je diplomirao matematiku prve klase.[10]
