Description

Roger Penrose's views on the large-scale physics of the Universe, the small-scale world of quantum physics and the physics of the mind are controversial and widely discussed. This book is a fascinating and accessible summary of Roger Penrose's current thinking on those areas of physics in which he feels there are major unresolved problems. It is also a stimulating introduction to the radically new concepts that he believes will be fruitful in understanding the workings of the brain and the nature of the human mind. 1. Space-Time ans Cosmology. 2. The mysteries of Quantum Physics. 3. Physics and the mind. 4. On mentality, quantum mechanics and the actualization of potentialities. 5. Why Physics? 6. The objections of an unshamed reductionist. 7. Response by R. Penrose
