The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Einstein's General Theory Of Relativity (2007, background): “The Penrose process We shall here see how the rotational energy can be extracted from a rotating black hole [Pen69].”
Extremal black holes in supergravity (2006, background): “In classical general relativity people have postulated the so-called cosmic censorship conjecture [ 12 , 5]: space-time singularities should always be hidden inside a horizon.”
Electron-positron pairs in physics and astrophysics: from heavy nuclei to black holes (2009, background): “In 1969 Roger Penrose [374] pointed out for the first time the possibility to extract rotational energy from a Kerr black hole.”
The Weak Gravity Conjecture in three dimensions (2016, background): “For M < g √ G Q, the solution presents a naked singularity, and thus it does not constitute a valid solution of the low-energy effective field theory [34, 35].”
The evolution problem in general relativity (2008, methodology): “21This conjecture is originally due to Penrose [119].”
Nonlinear fluid dynamics from gravity (2007, neutral): “, if all our solutions possess a regular event horizon that shield the boundary from the singularity – then our results appear to be of relevance to the cosmic censorship conjecture [52, 53].”
