Through an exploration of theoretical constructs like the Planck epoch and quantum fluctuations, alongside Roger Penrose’s conformal cyclic cosmology, a picture is painted of a universe cyclically transitioning between minimal and dense states, potentially explaining the genesis of matter from near-nothing...
WithRoger Penroseof Oxford University, I showed that ifAlbert Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct, then there would be a singularity, a point of infinite density and space-time curvature, where time has a beginning. The universe started off in the Big Bang and expanded quickly....
One of the great defenders of the specialness of human consciousness in the physical realm has beenRoger Penrose, the man who proposed that consciousness was non-computable because it was founded on non-computable processes in nature. A lot of this blog has been about demolishing that idea. So...
Roger Penrose’s Mind-Bending Theory of Reality·Saturday, November 16, 2024 S HerbPenrose (now 93) has astounding mathematical and physical intuition and it is a pleasure to see such a person in action (I remember this also from... ...
Now, these sorts of tricks weren't entirely new: a certain Nobel Prize winner named Roger Penrose got so fed up in the 1970's with staring at indices in the tensor notation of relativity and invented exactly the same kinds of pictures. So we were in pretty good company. This was a ...

Thank you, John K. That’s a fine article. By the way, Roger Penrose has said much the same thing, although in a mathematical context: consciousness is not to be achieved by algorithmic processes. See “The Emperor’s New Mind” and books following that. ...
And it's hard to evaluate their claims until you know what people do know. So, especially when it comes to physics, I urge you to start with slightly less glamorous stuff that we know to be true - at least as a useful approximation, that is — and then, with a solid background, ...
“The old theory of stimulus and response from the school of behaviorism held that belief and desires have nothing to do with behavior."Behaviorism on desires and beliefs “The chasm between what can be measured by a physicist and what can cause behavior is the reason we must credit people ...
Before you dismiss Sousa as a nutty old codger, you might ponder how much has changed in the past hundred years. Music has achieved onrushing omnipresence in our world: millions of hours of its history are available on disk; rivers of digital melody flow on the Internet; MP3 players with ...
