Penrose spotted alone

A fan spotted Roger Penrose walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 19, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Roger back on the market?

A rep for Roger Penrose was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the scientist was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (May 20), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Roger’s phone number?”
