Here are some insightful quotes by Roger Penrose, a renowned mathematician and physicist known for his work on consciousness, quantum mechanics, and the nature of the universe:
1. **On Quantum Mechanics:**
”Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense”【15†source】.
2. **On Understanding and Science:**
”Understanding is, after all, what science is all about — and science is a great deal more than mindless computation”【15†source】.
3. **On Consciousness and Mathematics:**
”I imagine that whenever the mind perceives a mathematical idea, it makes contact with Plato’s world of mathematical concepts… When mathematicians communicate, this is made possible by each one having a direct route to truth, the consciousness of each being in a position to perceive mathematical truths directly, through the process of ’seeing'”【15†source】.
4. **On Physical Reality:**
”Our present picture of physical reality, particularly in relation to the nature of time, is due for a grand shake-up”【15†source】.
5. **On Non-Computational Thought:**
”With thought comprising a non-computational element, computers can never do what we human beings can”【15†source】.
6. **On Consciousness and Morality:**
”If you didn’t have any conscious beings in the world, there really wouldn’t be morality but with consciousness that you have it”【17†source】.
7. **On Problem-Solving:**
”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”【16†source】.
8. **On Evolving Ideas:**
”People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realization and then a little realization built on that”【16†source】.
Roger Penrose’s thoughts span a wide range of topics, from the intricacies of quantum mechanics to the philosophical implications of consciousness, highlighting his multidisciplinary approach to understanding the universe.
