Description

#TheEmporersNewMind #NobelPrize #SirRogerPenrose On 6 October 2020 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2020 #NobelPrize in Physics with one half to Roger Penrose and the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez. I was delighted to have had this chance to discuss life, physics and everything with my friend Sir Roger Penrose, who endorsed my book Losing the Nobel Prize back in 2018. Well, now Sir Roger has WON the Nobel Prize. We discussed the first popular science book I ever read: The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics https://amzn.to/306hUG1 and Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness https://amzn.to/2QFbt9M Sir Roger Penrose OM FRS (born 8 August 1931) is an English mathematical physicist, mathematician and philosopher of science. He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics in the University of Oxford, an emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford and an honorary fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. Penrose has made contributions to the mathematical physics of general relativity and cosmology. He has received several prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for the Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems. Penrose sat down with Professor Brian Keating to discuss artificial intelligence, consciousness, cosmology, and the many fascinating developments in physics since the publication of The Emperor’s New Mind in 1989.

One of the few actual geniuses in physics. He is responsible for the modern and WAY too delayed study of consciousness, which should have started with the rest of the Scientific Revolution 500 years ago. Imagine where we'd be today. The great respect with which the rest of the physics community holds him may be the reason this field even exists at all.

This discussion deserves 100000+ more likes. Thank you Mr. Penrose for all the work you've done. People like you exemplify the (for lack of a better term) specialness of mankind's consciousness.

I'm not afraid to admit that this is over my head, still mentally entertaining.
