Reva Kay Williams is a theoretical astrophysicist. She is the first person to successfully work out the Penrose process using Einstein's Theory of Relativity to extract energy from black holes. Also,
Williams was the first person to successfully work out the Penrose process, which explains how energy can be extracted from a black hole. Above, a spectacular view of black hole outflows from the radio galaxy Centaurus A.
