| Until recently, it was thought that there were no flat tilings that had five-fold symmetry, until Penrose discovered two tiles that do! |
|
| After the war, she settled down to an uneasy domesticity with Penrose and their son. |
|
| His stay of ten years put Penrose in an unchallengeably authoritative position, though emphasising its Establishment leanings. |
|
| Drain blood from the finger and apply a tourniquet using a rubber band or a small Penrose drain at the base of the affected digit. |
|
| Penrose veers into irony in the lengths to which he goes to point out where his ideas deviate from the mainstream. |
|
| Some of the sketches depict the cute mental mnemonics that Penrose employs to keep ideas clearly in his mind. |
|
| Mike Pulsford, defending, said Penrose had arrived at court like a lamb to the slaughter knowing what sentence the youth court had already given to his accomplice. |
|
| It shows a portion of a diamond-based Penrose tiling of the plane. |
|
| The six-volume complete Penrose will be reviewed in a future edition of the tls. |
|
| As an annuitant who cannot leave Equitable, I demand that the Penrose report be published in its entirety as soon as possible and that open hearings be granted now. |
|
| In 1975, Stephen Hawking and Penrose were jointly awarded the Eddington Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society. |
|
| In 1990 Penrose was awarded the Albert Einstein Medal for outstanding work related to the work of Albert Einstein by the Albert Einstein Society. |
|
| In 2011, Penrose was awarded the Fonseca Prize by the University of Santiago de Compostela. |
|
| Marcus du Sautoy and Roger Penrose are both currently mathematics professors, and Jackie Stedall is a former professor of the university. |
|
| However, in the late 1960s Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking used global techniques to prove that singularities appear generically. |
|
| Through the Penrose process, objects can emerge from the ergosphere with more energy than they entered. |
|
| Once an event horizon forms, Penrose proved, general relativity without quantum mechanics requires that a singularity will form within. |
|
| In a dream, you can cheat architecture into impossible shapes. That lets you create closed loops, like the Penrose Steps. The infinite staircase. |
|
| For most of us, Dr Wilder Penrose was our amiable Prospero, the psychopomp who steered our darkest dreams towards the daylight. |
|
| In his work, and in collaboration with Penrose, Hawking extended the singularity theorem concepts first explored in his doctoral thesis. |
|
|
|
| Penrose is known for his work in mathematical physics, in particular for his contributions to general relativity and cosmology. |
|
| His uncle was artist Roland Penrose, whose son with photographer Lee Miller is Antony Penrose. |
|
| Penrose is the brother of physicist Oliver Penrose and of chess Grandmaster Jonathan Penrose. |
|
| Penrose attended University College School and University College, London, where he graduated with a first class degree in mathematics. |
|
| Escher's Waterfall, and Ascending and Descending were in turn inspired by Penrose. |
|
| As a student in 1954, Penrose was attending a conference in Amsterdam when by chance he came across an exhibition of Escher's work. |
|
| Together with his father, a physicist and mathematician, Penrose went on to design a staircase that simultaneously loops up and down. |
|
| In 1983, Penrose was invited to teach at Rice University in Houston, by the then provost Bill Gordon. |
|
| Penrose uses a variant of Turing's halting theorem to demonstrate that a system can be deterministic without being algorithmic. |
|
| At this book's inception, when we came to, we found ourselves already traipsing around Penrose steps, already reactively enclosed in an unceasing loop. |
|
| In 1937, Roland Penrose purchased an abstract 'Mother and Child' in stone from Moore that he displayed in the front garden of his house in Hampstead. |
|
| Penrose has been awarded many prizes for his contributions to science. |
|
| Penrose is married to Vanessa Thomas, director of Academic Development at Cokethorpe School and former head of mathematics at Abingdon School, with whom he has one son. |
|
| Penrose responded to criticism of The Emperor's New Mind with his follow up 1994 book Shadows of the Mind, and in 1997 with The Large, the Small and the Human Mind. |
|
| Penrose draws upon classes of mathematical problems for which no computational solution exists, including the tiling problem as well as certain Diophantine equations. |
|
| Penrose and James Terrell independently realised that objects travelling near the speed of light will appear to undergo a peculiar skewing or rotation. |
