Roger Penrose | Reality, Consciousness, Quantum and the Universe

28 thoughts on “Roger Penrose | Reality, Consciousness, Quantum and the Universe”

1. thank you for the time stamp in your description.

2. What a time we live in when you are one click away from hearing the thoughts of people of the caliber of Roger Penrose.

3. I am just a layman but this sympathetic man lets me peek a little bit into that endless realm i will never be able to fully grasp.

4. Understanding optimizes prediction or maximizes syntropy.
   Syntropy is dual to increasing entropy — the 4th law of thermodynamics
   Randomness (change) is dual to order
   Understanding requires duality to be conserved.
   Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non teleological physics (entropy, information).

5. Dark energy = repulsive gravity or negative curvature = hyperbolic geometry
   Positive curvature is dual to negative curvature — Gauss, Riemann
   Perpendicularity in hyperbolic geometry is measured in terms of duality.
   Thesis is dual to anti-thesis, the time independent Hegelian dialectic
   Alive (thesis) is dual to not alive (anti-thesis) — Schrodinger's or Hegel's cat
   Energy is dual to mass — Einstein
   Gravitation is equivalent or dual to acceleration — Einstein's happiest thought!
   Dark energy is dual to dark matter
   Positive is dual to negative.
   Space is dual to time — Einstein
   Certainty is dual to uncertainty — the Heisenberg certainty/uncertainty principle
   Syntropy is dual to increasing entropy — the 4th law of thermodynamics.

6. A wonderful mind, thank you ♥

7. DESIDERAVO CONDIVIDERE UN' OPINIONE PERSONALE IN CUI IN PAROLE SEMPLICI SE E' VERO CHE CON L'AUMENTARE DELLA VELOCITA' DELL' UNIVERSO E' DIRETTAMENTE PROPORZIONALE ALL'ASSORBIMENTO DELL'ENERGIA DELL' INFINITO POICHE' L'INFINITO E' PIENO DI ENERGIA INFINITA MENTRE L'UNIVERSO QUANTICO HA GLI ATOMI "CONTATI" QUINDI "POCHI" INFATTI IL COSMO E' GRANDE SOLO IL 4 % DELL'UNIVERSO QUANTICO……………CONCLUDENDO TUTTA QUESTA ENERGIA ASSORBITA PROGRESSIVAMENTE DALL'UNIVERSO QUANTICO "COLPISCE" TUTTI GLI ATOMI PRESENTI NEL COSMO QUINDI PER NOI GLI ATOMI SULLA TERRA FACENDO AUMENTARE LE QUALITA' DEL DNA CIOE' DELL' INTELLETTO UMANO E DELLE PRESTAZIONI SPORTIVE ( COSI' PURE PER LA FLORA E LA FAUNA )…………………..COME PURE ALTERA LE CARATTERISTICHE ORIGINALI DELL' ATMOSFERA TERRESTRE E DEI MARI…………..( FORSE METTENDO IN PERICOLO LA SOPRAVVIVENZA DELL'ESSERE UMANO ! )……..10.03.2020 saluti mauro stocovaz

8. Gentile Signore Roger Penrose ; per conoscenza alla Gentile Fabiola Gianotti e al Gentile Signore Carlo Rubbia :
   tutti noi siamo delle " PROIEZIONI " DELL' UNIVERSO QUANTICO compreso tutto il cosmo………….di cui facciamo parte
   e' fuori discussione che tutti gli atomi moleccole cellule ECC……ECC…….presenti nel cosmo sono nient'altro che un CATTIVO COMPROMESSO TRA L'UNIVERSO QUANTICO E L' ENERGIA DELL'INFINITO .
   Certamente tutto cio' che si trova ALL' INTERNO DEL COSMO OPPURE FACENTE PARTE DEL COSMO VIVE UNA VITA TRIDIMENSIONALE QUINDI PASSATO PRESENTE FUTURO mentre l'universo e l'infinito vivono in un presente eterno .
   Conclusione per estrapolare formule empiriche d' appartenenza approssimativa al PRESENTE ETERNO sarebbe opportuno non pensare con la fantasia di un filosofo bensi' pensare come uno psichiatra (universale)………….SCUSATE TANTO FORSE NON MI SARO' SPIEGATO TROPPO BENE MA A RIGORE DI LOGICA CONCENTTUALE IL RISULTATO E' COME CERCARE DI "COMPRENDERE" FORMULE NON ASSOLUTE MA "DISCUTIBILI"
   questo e' piu' di quanto si avvicini ad un PRESENTE ETERNO……………saluti cari da mauro stocovaz 28.02.2020

9. I love how Roger at one point takes some time to explain the rules of ‘rock scissors paper’, but then goes on to use the term ‘logarithmic tables’ without explanation, as if that’s common knowledge 😀

10. Sir Roger is a GIANT amongst the minnows here, I'm afraid. The Orch OR model he & Hameroff are offering up is, to my mind, the best, most thought out and complete hypothesis currently making the rounds in the field of human consciousness….further, although conjecture now, I believe it to be correct, and will be proven so in time.

11. is this the same to say that consciousness "needs" to " displace " mass? (11:20)
    …. "like" black matter … not matter not energy … consciousness?¿ ?

12. “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, —that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know”. John Keats, in “On a Grecian Urn”.

13. Meeting him at a conference was something that I will remember forever.
    Me: I really like your book.
    Roger: Which book?
    Me: Fashion, faith and fantasy.
    Roger: What do you like about it?
    Me: A lot of things, but I appreciate your insights of how nature works, and pointing out the fashionable ideas and consider it with gentle argumentation meanwhile proving some mainstream science is being led in the wrong direction. I wonder if due to the radical nature of your ideas, it must have been difficult for you to defend your position. Did you get a lot of criticism from the mainstream?
    Roger: Oh, you should read the Emperor's New Mind, its where I got much more criticism…

    So i read it… Reading Roger's books is time well spent. He makes you feel you entertained meanwhile your brain is courageously coping with going through not easy to understand contents. It does it in such way your curiosity is being fully activated, and feeling of actually find the principles yourself never disappears.
    On top of being bright, his content delivery is exceptional. Highly recommend to all the physics students, and people in various life science industries.

14. This is what the early/real Dr Who's used to look like (eg..Patrick Troughton) ……before the sexed up hairstyles and the cocky attitudes ruined it.

15. Prespective of quantum particle, we are a Quantum Universe which exists everywhere to which no law applies.
    We can also say this, parallel universe.
    Because, parallel means parallel.

    Thinking is a state of consciousness.
    No law applies to thinking.

    Thinking means, experiencing.work of consciousness.

    We are being experienced from the prespective of consciousness.

    Death is no such thing, meaningless event.

    After death ? We will find overselves in the whole universe as consciousness.
    Because, thinking is a state of consciousness.

    At the moment we are experiencing through this body.

    Creation has no meaning without experience.
    Prespective of consciousness whatever is happening is happening in nothingnes.

    Past present future running in nothingness.

    Because, no law applies to consciousness.

    The universe (form of quantum reyality) is experiencing itself.

    Please recognize your thinking ability

16. I love Roger Penrose, what a humble genius. Compared to Krauss or Degrasse Tyson, he's curious and uncertain about everything he thinks he knows

17. Really need a definition of BEAUTY in relation to neuronal brain activity before bandying it about so freely!!

18. Will, and the freedom of will are two very different things. Will is the focus (the force) of attention. Free Will, or what is often called volition, FOLLOWS the exercise of will/coherence through the "turning toward"/resonance with a particular potentiality. This also aligns with DISCRIMINATION.

19. "MEANING IS NOT COMPUTATIONAL" – so true. Meaning is self-referential, dependent on memory, past relationships, in other words "context-dependent" (?karmic?).

20. Penrose is an acknowledged scientist, a physicist in particular. He thus answered, or attempted to answer, the seemingly abstract questions to his best scientific ability. He even frackly alluded to his inability to correctly identify consciousness.

    Consciousness, in the context of this interview, is one of the TWO fundamental axioms of nature, the other being Existence. Consciousness is a defining factor of life. Considering Existence as that which exists, Consciousness is that which recognizes Existence, including it's own existence.

    Being a factor of life, consciousness manifests itself within the constraints of the genus of life it belongs to. A plant is conscious of basic cycles of seasons. Animals are conscious of instincts of survival. Humans are conscious of the need to CHOOSE a course of life. Humans can't escape this choice, and any attempt would only result in a default taking over, and from then on bump from one consequence to another, until he or she consciously intervenes with an assessment and a conscious choice.

    It is this process of choice that has evolved into the various branches of knowledge, which we call mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, cosmology, psychology, … Justice, satisfaction, … Politics, religion, … PHILOSOPHY.

21. you rock

22. Excellent… thanks 🙏

23. The only video I liked from second second.

24. Beauty in mathematics and physics comes from the unconscious part of the brain, just like what you think is profound or true on an acid trip. It differs between people, and it is a measure of how consistent the principles or equations seem to your own subconscious set of prejudices.

25. The thing with machines that do not understand meaning hits the nail. We might never have even not self-driving cars.

26. Has Roger Penrose considered the possibility of a third "eon", one that preceded the Big Bang, that possessed not only a "constant" but that also experienced an "exponential expansion" event at the quantum level?

27. Probably the best interviews of probably the best Pen' in the world

28. Aw hell yeah. I'm ready for some twistor theory.
