Can Physics Provide a Theory of Consciousness? A Review of Shadows of the Mind by Roger PenroseBernard Baars
Professor Sir Roger Penrose is one of the truly original thinkers of our time. He has made several remarkable contributions to science, from quantum physics and theories of human consciousness to relativity theory and observations on the structure of the universe. Unusually for a scientist, some of...
Details of the structure of a black hole are calculated fromAlbert Einstein’sgeneral theory of relativity. Thesingularityconstitutesthe centre of a black hole and is hidden by the object’s “surface,” theevent horizon. Inside the event horizon theescape velocity(i.e., the velocity required ...

theory. He classifies some of its central mysteries into different types: ones that we have to accept as brute facts and others that make it clear that something is amiss in the state of quantum theory. In particular, Penrose elucidates why al...
The biological and physical components of this model are briefly outlined here in terms intended to be accessible to both quantum physicists and neuroscientists, as background for a summary of the basic premises and the development of the theory from its beginning. The main criticisms and responses...
“We have a universe that expands and expands, and all mass decays away, and in this crazy theory of mine, that remote future becomes the Big Bang of another aeon. “So our Big Bang began with something which was the remote future of a previous aeon and there would have been similar ...
