Twistor theory is a mathematical framework developed by the British mathematician Roger Penrose in the 1960s. It is designed to provide a new perspective on the geometry of space-time and the fundamental structures of physical theories, particularly in the context of general relativity and quantum gravity. At its core, twistor theory transforms the conventional approach to understanding space-time by introducing a new set of mathematical objects called "twistors.
