TEDxWarwick - Sir Roger Penrose - Space-Time Geometry and a New Cosmology
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Sir Roger Penrose is one of the world's leading mathematical physicists. He is also joint winner of the Wolf prize with Stephen Hawking for their contribution to our understanding of the universe. Some of his discoveries include Penrose Tiling, Twistor theory and works about the geometry of spacetime. He is also a recreational mathematician and philosopher. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Always show the speaker rather than the diagram when he/she is pointing to something on it. This helps tremendously with following the lecture.
-
A lot of what we know about black holes today, was kicked off as a result of the collaboration over several years between Roger and Stephen Hawking. Just brilliant!
-
Utterly brilliant. If there's anyone who knows and understands all we know so far, it's Sir Roger. He is the scientific establishment. Cutting edge stuff.

I'll stand alone

Probably the only guy who beats the crap out of the average hipster TED narrator with his overhead projector
-
jesus ted needs to hire sound engineers for FUX sake? speaker blow and then a fucking 2 decibel speech? jesus.
-
Always bring three video cameras to a Penrose lecture. And maybe more than one microphone.

@[17:23] "Any [massive] particle is basically a clock."
"If you take the particles away, if you just have massless particles like photons, there's no way of making a clock."
Then Time is an emergent property of Matter. -
why cant he stand still? D:
-
Oh my god...the sub-titles: miserable "cunt" state!?
-
worst produced TED talk I've ever seen. too bad because he was quite interesting.
-
sounds like a coughing convention
-
Hes explaining the creation of the universe, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and the singularity. And the technology hes using is a projector. That basically sums up the human race if you ask me.
-
He's like a hyperactive 9 year old.
-
Thanks !
-
Why didn't the professor use PowerPoint? Hilarious!
-
the reason gravity slows time down is because it keeps you from expanding with standard time. Time is just like russian dolls. When you die you lose your connection with expanding matter. You fall out of sink.
-
I need those slides.
-
i wish they would not have just followed him back and forth ignoring the transparencies he was putting up. it actually ruins the lecture.

"This is what we know," Penrose says. But it isn't even close to what we know... it's just what Penrose and some of his buddies in other positions of authority believe they know.
