In that machine made of light, shadow, and time, six-year-old Roger discovered a world behind the world of transcendently beautiful geometry, beginning a journey toward becoming one of the worlds most influential mathematicians, philosophers, and physicists.</p><p>In the years to come, Penrose earned a Nobel Prize, a knighthood, and dozens of other prestigious honors. He proved the limitations of general relativity, and he set a new agenda for theoretical physics. However, as Patchen Barss documents in <em>The Impossible Ma</em>n, success came at a price. Penroses longing for knowledge was matched only by his inability to understand those around him, and he struggled to connect with friends, family, and especially the women in his life. His final years have been spent alone with his research, intentionally cut off from the people who loved him.</p><p>Erudite and deeply moving, <em>The Impossible Man</em> intimately depicts the relationship between Penrose the scientist and Roger the human being. It reveals the tragic costto himself and those closest to himof Roger Penroses extraordinary life.</p>...(*_*)9781541603677_<p><strong>The first biography"a stunning achievement" (Kai Bird, <em>American Prometheus</em>)of the dazzling and painful life of Nobel Prizewinning physicist Roger Penrose</strong></p><p>When he was six years old, Roger Penrose discovered a sundial in a clearing near his house.
