Roger Penrose Quotes

I would say the universe has a purpose. It’s not there just somehow by chance Picture Quote #1

Well, I don’t know if I can comment on Kant or Hegel because I’m no real philosopher in the sense of knowing what these people have said in any detail so let me not comment on that too much Picture Quote #1

Well I didn’t actually see the Matrix but I’ve seen other movies where with similar sorts of themes Picture Quote #1

So what I’m saying is why don’t we think about changing Schrodinger’s equation at some level when masses become too big at the level that you might have to worry about Einstein’s general relativity Picture Quote #1

Ordinary photons do have spin, they have a notion of helicity so they spin around their direction on motion Picture Quote #1

Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense Picture Quote #1

Intelligence cannot be present without understanding. No computer has any awareness of what it does Picture Quote #1

As for morality, well that’s all tied up with the question of consciousness Picture Quote #1

Ambition, idly vain; revenge and malice swell her train Picture Quote #1

Consciousness... is the phenomenon whereby the universe’s very existence is made known Picture Quote #1

The basic theory in twistor theory is not to add extra dimensions Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty tenacious when it comes to problems Picture Quote #1

I was indeed very slow as a youngster Picture Quote #1

In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don’t know if either one of them is the right approach to nature Picture Quote #1

The idea is if you use those two shapes and try to colour the plane with them so the colours match, then the only way that you can do this is to produce a pattern which never repeats itself Picture Quote #1

Our present picture of physical reality, particularly in relation to the nature of time, is due for a grand shake up Picture Quote #1

We have a closed circle of consistency here: the laws of physics produce complex systems, and these complex systems lead to consciousness, which then produces mathematics, which can then encode in a succinct and inspiring way the very underlying laws of physics that gave rise to it Picture Quote #1

It is always the case, with mathematics, that a little direct experience of thinking over things on your own can provide a much deeper understanding than merely reading about them Picture Quote #1

I would say the universe has a purpose. It’s not there just somehow by chance Picture Quote #1

But I think it is a serious issue to wonder about the other platonic absolutes of say beauty and morality Picture Quote #1

It may well be there is something else going on in the brain that we don’t have an inkling of at the moment Picture Quote #1

Well, gauge theory is very fundamental to our understanding of physical forces these days. But they are also dependent on a mathematical idea, which has been around for longer than gauge theory has Picture Quote #1

People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that Picture Quote #1

My own way of thinking is to ponder long and I hope deeply on problems and for a long time which I keep away for years and years and I never really let them go Picture Quote #1

If you didn’t have any conscious beings in the world, there really wouldn’t be morality but with consciousness that you have it Picture Quote #1

As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave and so on Picture Quote #1

And these little things may not seem like much but after a while they take you off on a direction where you may be a long way off from what other people have been thinking about Picture Quote #1

This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it Picture Quote #1
