Part 3/9:
Penrose suggests that the traditional view, which holds that quantum theory is fundamentally about small-scale phenomena while large-scale behaviors can be derived, may need reevaluation. He believes that the collapse of the wave function should be understood as a real physical process, particularly in relation to gravitational fields.
Twistor Theory: A Novel Perspective
One of Penrose's most notable contributions to theoretical physics is twistor theory, proposed in the early 1960s. Twistor theory seeks to connect the realms of quantum mechanics and general relativity by offering a new mathematical framework to address fundamental issues inherent in these theories.
