The Impossible Man — the heavy price of life as a physics genius
不可能的人:物理天才的沉重人生代价

Black holes, space-time . . . Roger Penrose’s work won him a Nobel — but tore his family apart, as Patchen Barrs reveals in a fascinating biography
黑洞、时空......彭罗斯的研究成果为他赢得了诺贝尔奖,但也让他的家庭支离破碎,巴尔在这本引人入胜的传记中揭示了这一点。
Mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose (pictured in 2009) is known, among other things, for his breakthrough in geometric formations

It is an understatement to describe the British mathematical physicist and philosopher Sir Roger Penrose as a great thinker. The Oxford professor’s preternatural intuitions about geometry and the universe — especially the nature of black holes — have earned him a 2020 Nobel Prize for physics (and perhaps should have won him a second, for chemistry); a knighthood; and an Order of Merit, perhaps the most exclusive of Britain’s honours, limited to 24 living holders.

用“伟大的思想家”来形容英国的数学物理学家和哲学家罗杰•彭罗斯实在是轻描淡写。这位牛津大学教授对几何学和宇宙的超凡直觉,尤其是对黑洞性质的洞察,使他获得了2020年的诺贝尔物理学奖、爵士头衔和功绩勋章,后者是英国最为独特的荣誉之一,仅限于24位在世持有者。
