Poster for Dunajski's Virtual Seminar on June 2nd, title: State reduction, gravity, and twistor theory
A non-relativistic limit of twistor theory provides a non-local description of Newtonian space-times. It is argued that combining this non--locality  with the non--locality of quantum mechanics provides a mechanism for Penrose's proposal linking classical gravity and quantum wave function collapse.
