Introduction: Twistor Program Roger Penrose (1967) Space-time is taken to be a secondary construction

Introduction: Twistor Program Roger Penrose (1967) Space-time is taken to be a secondary construction from the more primitive twistor notions. From ``The Road to Reality’’ Space-Time Event Incidence Relation Twistor Space

Conclusion l Geometrical construction of the supertwistor based on the SUSY Hopf map. l

Conclusion l Geometrical construction of the supertwistor based on the SUSY Hopf map. l Properties of this construction 1. Space-time is not complexified. 2. Even number of fermionic components of twistor is automatically incorporated. l Close Analogy between LLL physics and Twistor Does it suggest something deeper? ?
