Singularity Theorems of Penrose and Hawking – Revolutions in General Relativity

Vishrut Kinikar General relativity, since its advent in 1915, has predicted a wide range of phenomena, from a geometrical interpretation of space-time to mass-energy equivalence. Its insights on gravitational lensing and singularities serve as the bedrock for British physicist Roger Penrose’s revolutionary singularity theorem. However, a major development that perhaps contributed to Penrose’s discovery cameContinue reading “Singularity Theorems of Penrose and Hawking – Revolutions in General Relativity”
