  2. Penrose diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_diagram

    Penrose diagram of an infinite Minkowski universe, horizontal axis u, vertical axis v. In theoretical physics, a Penrose diagram (named after mathematical physicist Roger Penrose) is a two-dimensional diagram capturing the causal relations between different points in spacetime through a conformal treatment of infinity.

  3. Penrose graphical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_graphical_notation

    Penrose graphical notation (tensor diagram notation) of a matrix product state of five particles. In mathematics and physics, Penrose graphical notation or tensor diagram notation is a (usually handwritten) visual depiction of multilinear functions or tensors proposed by Roger Penrose in 1971. [1]

  4. Penrose process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_process

    The Penrose process (also called Penrose mechanism) is theorised by Sir Roger Penrose as a means whereby energy can be extracted from a rotating black hole. [1] [2] [3] The process takes advantage of the ergosphere – a region of spacetime around the black hole dragged by its rotation faster than the speed of light, meaning that from the point of view of an outside observer any matter inside ...

  5. Conformal cyclic cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmology

    Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity and proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose. [1] [2] [3] In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity (i.e. the latest end of any possible timescale evaluated for any point in space) of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang ...

  6. Tensor network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_network

    In general, a tensor network diagram (Penrose diagram) can be viewed as a graph where nodes (or vertices) represent individual tensors, while edges represent summation over an index. Free indices are depicted as edges (or legs ) attached to a single vertex only. [ 8 ]

  7. Wormhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

    Wormhole can also be depicted in a Penrose diagram of a Schwarzschild black hole. In the Penrose diagram, an object traveling faster than light will cross the black hole and will emerge from another end into a different space, time or universe. This will be an inter-universal wormhole.

  8. String diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_diagram

    Ribbon categories with 3-dimensional diagrams where the edges are undirected, a generalisation of knot diagrams. Compact closed categories with 4-dimensional diagrams where the edges are undirected, a generalisation of Penrose graphical notation. Dagger categories where every diagram has a horizontal reflection.

  9. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    A Penrose tiling with rhombi exhibiting fivefold symmetry. A Penrose tiling is an example of an aperiodic tiling.Here, a tiling is a covering of the plane by non-overlapping polygons or other shapes, and a tiling is aperiodic if it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches.
