= Twistor correspondence
{wiki=Twistor_correspondence}
Twistor correspondence is a mathematical framework developed by Roger Penrose in the 1960s that relates geometric structures in spacetime (in the context of general relativity) to complex geometric structures known as twistors. The correspondence aims to provide a new way of understanding the fundamental aspects of physics, particularly in the context of theories of gravitation and quantum mechanics. At its core, the twistor correspondence provides a bridge between the four-dimensional spacetime of general relativity and a higher-dimensional complex space.
