I'm kind of shocked there's nothing on the front page about Penrose winning the Nobel prize for physics. The guy is really a polymath, even accounting for his outlandish and sometimes discredited theories.

If you mean the front page of HN, it was yesterday when he was awarded the Prize.

Except his name wasn't mentioned in the headline, just 'Nobel'.

Even so, his black hole theory also had a long time coming to acceptance. What he says might be hard to prove, but it doesn’t sound totally absurd, and probably also isn’t an uneducated guess by someone who knows the math.
