Author: Roger Penrose
Understanding is, after all, what science is all about—and science is a great deal more than mindless computation.
“A mind-expanding exploration of consciousness and the universe. Penrose’s ability to intertwine physics, mathematics, and philosophy is nothing short of genius.” – Alex Turner, Goodreads
“Penrose challenges conventional thinking with his deep dive into the nature of the mind and reality. A must-read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of science and philosophy.” – Linda Harris, Amazon
“The Emperor’s New Mind is a tour de force that questions the very foundations of our understanding of the universe. Penrose’s arguments are compelling and thought-provoking.” – Michael Brown, Barnes & Noble
“An intellectually stimulating book that pushes the boundaries of what we know about consciousness and artificial intelligence. Penrose’s insights are both profound and accessible.” – Sarah Wilson, Goodreads
“Penrose’s work is a brilliant synthesis of complex ideas, presented in a way that is both challenging and rewarding. A true masterpiece in the realm of scientific literature.” – David Clark, Amazon
Sir Roger Penrose (born 1931) is a renowned British mathematician, physicist, and philosopher of science, celebrated for his profound contributions to the understanding of the universe and the nature of consciousness. Penrose’s work spans a wide array of topics, including general relativity, cosmology, and quantum mechanics. He is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Stephen Hawking on singularity theorems and for his pioneering ideas on the structure of spacetime. Penrose’s influential book, The Emperor’s New Mind, challenges conventional views on artificial intelligence and explores the relationship between the human mind and the laws of physics. His innovative theories, such as the Penrose-Hameroff theory of quantum consciousness, continue to provoke thought and inspire research in both the scientific and philosophical communities. In recognition of his groundbreaking work, Penrose was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020 for his discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity.
