Increased interest in quantum mechanical theories of mind has been kindled by two recent books by Roger Penrose. These books, The Emperor's New Mind , and Shadows of the Mind , along with a paper by Hameroff and Penrose (1996), propose a quantum theory of consciousness that, like the ...
Hayek made reference to the famous Gdel theorems in mathematical logic in the context of expounding his cognitive and social theory. The exact meaning of the supposed relationship between Gdel's theorems and the essential proposition of Hayek's theory of mind remains subject to interpretation, ...
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 ...
Shadows of the Mind was written by English theoretical physicist and mathematician Roger Penrose. The book takes a stand on modern science and supports a potent argument against artificial intelligence. Penrose also uses the book as a platform towards a
At the same time, Kant's theory that the mind applies the forms of space and time to intuition in the process of bringing it into consciousness does seem to have a parallel in quantum mechanics. Thanks to John Bell, the Einstein-Podolsky-Paradox has been demonstrated to be true: that the...

This aspect of quantum physics has troubled many other physicists but in this book Penrose has gone further than anyone in unravelling its implications. This ultimately leads Penrose into exploring the connections between quantum theory and the mind. But...
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 ...
