Nobel Laureate & Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics Emeritus

56:22·2016·graduate level·Public Colloquium
Path step 2: Examines global causal structure, trapped surfaces, and cosmological Weyl curvature.

Explains light-cone causal topology, trapped surfaces, Weyl curvature vanishing at the Big Bang, and conformal rescaling across cosmological aeons.

Sir Roger Penrose giving his talk 'Einstein's Amazing Theory of Gravity: Black Holes and Novel Ideas in Cosmology', a talk on the subject of general relativity, in light of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's seminal paper "The Field Equations of Gravitation"

This lecture took place at 'What's Your Angle?' - a mathematics festival organised in collaboration between the London Mathematical Society and the Science Museum in November 2015.
