Where Can I Find the Penrose Lecture Link Mentioned in the Forum?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating a specific link to a Penrose lecture mentioned in a forum thread. A user, Sparky, recalls a lecture that features a "dry erase board" style presentation. Another participant provides the exact link to the November 2005 lecture at Cambridge, which showcases Penrose's transparencies synchronized with his talk. This resource was initially shared by Alejandro Rivero and confirmed by other users, including Turbo-1 and George Jones.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Penrose's work in theoretical physics.
  • Understanding of lecture formats and presentation styles in academic settings.
  • Basic knowledge of navigating online educational resources.
  • Awareness of the significance of lectures in the fields of General Relativity and Cosmology.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Penrose lecture from November 2005 at Cambridge: Cambridge Penrose Lecture.
  • Research the impact of Penrose's transparencies on teaching methods in theoretical physics.
  • Investigate other notable lectures in General Relativity and Cosmology for comparative analysis.
  • Learn about the use of visual aids in scientific presentations to enhance understanding.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, educators, and enthusiasts in theoretical physics, particularly those interested in the teaching methods of prominent physicists like Roger Penrose.

Greetings,

In one of these threads, somebody commenting on the original thread provided a link to a Penrose lecture.

I now cannot find which thread it was in.

I'm also not sure - it was either in Genral Relativity or Cosmology threads.

Does this ring a bell with anybody.

What I'm looking for is the web address that has this lecture.

I recall clicking on the web link and it started with what looked like a dry erase board full of notes.


Thanks

Ive several times recommended a lecture he gave November 2005 at Cambridge, which is online

http://www.Newton.cam.ac.uk/webseminars/pg+ws/2005/gmr/gmrw04/1107/penrose/

it does look like a "white board" with handrawn diagrams with colored marker

if you click and wait a few seconds he will begin talking and the slides will change in synch with his talk
(this is a good format)

they are actually Penrose transparencies, I saw him give the same talk in Berkeley in 2006 with the same transparencies (even though they look like drawn on a whiteboard.

maybe this is what you were remembering, Sparky. I learned of the Cambridge online version from Alejandro Rivero.

Marcus - This is the one I was looking for!

Thanks so much

Also thank you - Turbo -1 , George Jones!

You have given me more to look at and study. - good stuff.

Thanks again
