Sir Roger Penrose on Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics
In a recent conversation with Nobel Prize-winning mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, the focus was on his groundbreaking theories regarding consciousness and the interaction with quantum mechanics. Penrose has spent decades exploring these complex topics, particularly in collaboration with Stuart Hameroff, an anesthesiologist. Their joint work has resulted in the development of a theory known as Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR), which claims to describe how consciousness arises from the interplay between quantum processes in the brain and general relativity.
