On Tuesday, April 29, Indiana University will welcome one of the most famous -- and controversial -- physicists in the world. Roger Penrose, whose work ranges from black holes to the fundamental physics of human conciousness, will present a surprising proposal for what happened before the Big Bang. His theories could help explain one of cosmology's biggest questions: the origin of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states, among other things, that one cannot get more energy out of a system than what is put into it.
