VIS has had the privilege of interviewing Sir Roger Penrose, the Nobel laureate and visionary physicist, in an exclusive conversation. This interview offers invaluable insights into Penrose’s groundbreaking work, making it a crucial resource for anyone interested in the intersection of physics, philosophy, and the future of science.
VIS had the honor of interviewing Sir Roger Penrose, the acclaimed British physicist and Nobel laureate, in an exclusive conversation that delves into his profound contributions to science. The interview offers a rare opportunity to hear from one of the leading minds in theoretical physics about some of the most fundamental questions concerning the universe and human consciousness.
Roger Penrose is renowned for his work on black holes, the nature of space-time, and the concept of “consciousness” in the context of quantum mechanics. His groundbreaking theory of black hole formation and his collaboration with Stephen Hawking on the singularity theorem have reshaped our understanding of the cosmos. In this in-depth interview, Penrose discusses the implications of his work and his continuing exploration of the intersection between physics and philosophy, especially regarding consciousness.
Penrose’s ideas, such as his theory of orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR) concerning consciousness, challenge conventional scientific thinking, offering a unique perspective on how the brain may be connected to the universe on a quantum level. His contributions have sparked debates across multiple disciplines, making this interview not only relevant to physicists but also to anyone curious about the deeper questions of existence.
