Prof Penrose will be speaking on Friday the 13th July at 7pm on What Happened Before the Big Bang? A Novel Answer to a Profound Cosmological Puzzle. His talk has been generously sponsored by the Faculty of Science at UNSW, the Gordon Godfrey Fund for Theoretical Physics and Dirac Medal Fund. At the beginning of his talk Sir Roger will be presented with the Dirac Medal, which commemorates the visit by nobel laureate P.A.M. Dirac to UNSW in 1975.
