Abstract
Recently, Dunajski and Gundry (2016) have developed an extension of twistor theory to the non-relativistic domain. Unlike relativistic twistor theory, their approach is able to reproduce the entire space of models of Newton-Cartan theory. I critically assess the significance of non-relativistic twistors, in particular with respect to proposals by Dunajski and Penrose (2023) that using non-relativistic twistors to describe gravitationally induced collapse could play a part in solving the quantum measurement problem.
