When Roger Penrose came to UA, he gave a talk using TWO (!) and his own (insane?) hand written transparencies.

A colloquium hall - people sit and watch Nobel laureate Roger Penrose as he sets up two overhead projectors. The left one shows handwritten text: “Dark Matter and its Unusual Decay according to Conformal Cyclic Cosmology,” and it looks like a children’s fantasy book cover about a wizard. The other has a crazy upside down Gaussian.
Another transparency. This one of a hand drawn volcano with the peak labeled “Big Crunch,” and more text on the right saying “MESS OF CONGEALING BLACK HOLES.” Your guess is as good as any.
