Twistor Theory - Wikipedia - Roger Penrose  ## Metadata - Author: **Roger Penrose** - Full Title: Twistor Theory - Wikipedia - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistor_theory ## Highlights - In theoretical physics, twistor theory was proposed by Roger Penrose in 1967 as a possible path to quantum gravity and has evolved into a branch of theoretical and mathematical physics. Penrose proposed that twistor space should be the basic arena for physics from which space-time itself should emerge. It leads to a powerful set of mathematical tools that have applications to differential and integral geometry, nonlinear differential equations and representation theory and in physics to general relativity and quantum field theory, in particular to scattering amplitudes. - Tags: #physic
