The classical double copy relates exact solutions of gauge, gravity, and other theories. Although widely studied, its origins and domain of applicability have remained mysterious. In this Letter, I show that a particular incarnation---the Weyl double copy---can be derived using well-established ideas from twistor theory. As well as explaining where …
