Sweden, Oct. 6, SAEDNEWS: The Nobel Prize 2020 in the Physics category was awarded to Roger Penrose and the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez. Roger Penrose invented ingenious mathematical methods to explore Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. He showed that the theory leads to the formation of black holes, those monsters in time and space that capture everything that enters them. Genzel and Ghez discovered that an invisible and extremely heavy object governs the orbits of stars at the centre of our galaxy. A supermassive black hole is the only currently known explanation. A panel at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm announced the names of the winners some time after 3:30 pm (IST). This category in the past has honoured discoveries about the tiniest of particles and the vast mysteries of outer space (Source: NoblePrize.org).
