How The Penrose Singularity Theorem Predicts The End of Space Time

I'm an electrician from england, and have no formal education above my electrical qualifications. I have always had a love of physics and space, and channels like yours are an absolute blessing for people like me. I may struggle to keep up with some of the concepts discussed and end up rewatching and furthering educating myself on the subjects, but without this channel I would never be able to learn about the fabric of our reality to the extent that you have made possible. Thank you so much for your hard work.

When this universe ends, Matt is gonna come out, make a speech that ends with the words, "on the next episode of Space Time". He'll then explode, creating the new universe.

"The Nobel prize in physics this year went to black holes" Of course, nothing can escape a black hole, not even a Nobel prize

So freaking happy that Penrose got the Nobel Prize, he's had it coming for a long time. He's a mathematical powerhouse, and even if it's likely not an accurate picture of reality, Conformal Cyclic Cosmology is one of the most creative interpretations of taking the connection between space and time to its absolute limit. Huge fan of the guy

Absolutely wild how easily he makes these concepts. I'm learning the earlier workings of differential topology and you've essentially made some of the hardest mathematical concepts so easy to understand. Thank you!

In the history of Nobel prizes there are few people more worthy of it than Sir Penrose. A remarkably insightful human.

I met Penrose after a lecture he gave in Edinburgh. He came to the ceilidh after the event. He didn't dance but you could tell he wanted too. Legend

"How can anything so wrong feel so right," goes the song. As a non-mathematician, I found this episode one of the most intuitively comprehensible of all of your videos, Matt. I feel good.

So, glad he won the Nobel prize. Penrose have an inspiration with his out of the box and unconventional ideas. His book road to reality is one of the most fascinating book I have ever read.

I know these videos take a long time to make but I'd love to see one on Boson Stars! I became aware recently of the possible existence of these exotic stars but my understanding of bosons is very weak so it's difficult to wrap my head around. Thanks for all you do, Matt and the rest of the team!

Incredible content Matt! Your excellent demonstration of Physics is top quality, as usual. Thank you for your dedicated work, and thank you for bringing such knowledge to the world.

Penrose is probably the most brilliant mind alive today.

Is it just me or everyone falls in love with physics whenever a video about general relativity comes out ❤️

Wonderful and beautiful explanation of a complex concept. I thank and congratulate the presenter/ speaker and the PBS for making it easy for people with no formal introduction to GR or Black Holes!!

Beautiful video, congratulations, for now it's the first time I've seen the concepts of singularities explained so well

"the nobel price in physics this year went to black holes,..... but since we heard no response back, we're giving it to someone else"

It’s very satisfying that you’ve been spending more time on Penrose. Super cool.

This is one of the best episodes yet. Really great job on this ❤️

Another great episode! Keep making them, I'll keep liking them!

Tiny misstatement at 8:15: latitude lines are not geodesics, except for the Equator. Longitude lines are indeed geodesics. But I know that you know that.
