Professor Sir Roger Penrose's work, spanning fifty years of
science, with over five thousand pages and more than three hundred
papers, has been collected together for the first time and arranged
chronologically over six volumes, each with an introduction from
the author. Where relevant, individual papers also come with
specific introductions or notes. Developing ideas sketched in the
first volume, twistor theory is now applied to genuine issues of
physics, and there are the beginnings of twistor diagram theory (an
analogue of Feynman Diagrams). This collection includes joint
papers with Stephen Hawking, and uncovers certain properties of
black holes. The idea of cosmic censorship is also first proposed.
Along completely different lines, the first methods of aperiodic
tiling for the Euclidean plane that come to be known as Penrose
tiles are described. This volume also contains Penrose's three
prize-winning essays for the Gravity Foundation (two second places
with both Ezra Newman and Steven Hawking, and a solo first place
for 'The Non-linear graviton').
