Stockholm: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Tuesday announced the Nobel Prize 2020 in Physics to three scientists–Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.
One half awarded to Roger Penrose “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity”, the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez “for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy.”
The prize amount of 10 million Swedish kronor will be shared–with one half to Roger Penrose and the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.
