Sir Roger Penrose | The Emperor’s New Mind: Consciousness & Computer (311)

#TheEmporersNewMind #NobelPrize #SirRogerPenrose
On 6 October 2020 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2020 #NobelPrize in Physics with one half to Roger Penrose and the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.

I was delighted to have had this chance to discuss life, physics and everything with my friend Sir Roger Penrose, who endorsed my book Losing the Nobel Prize back in 2018. Well, now Sir Roger has WON the Nobel Prize.

Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness

Sir Roger Penrose OM FRS (born 8 August 1931) is an English mathematical physicist, mathematician and philosopher of science. He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics in the University of Oxford, an emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford and an honorary fellow of St John's College, Cambridge.

Penrose has made contributions to the mathematical physics of general relativity and cosmology. He has received several prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for the Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems.

Penrose sat down with Professor Brian Keating to discuss artificial intelligence, consciousness, cosmology, and the many fascinating developments in physics since the publication of The Emperor’s New Mind in 1989.

Most humble, intelligent gentleman on utube.

[StottMikel]

Simply one of the most important books I ever read.

[grgmcln]

This discussion deserves more likes. Thank you Mr. Penrose for all the work you've done. People like you exemplify the (for lack of a better term) specialness of mankind's consciousness.

I’m a simple man, I see Sir Roger and I click like

Dear Youtube programmers: please consider a feature whereby an "Audio Only" button could be selected with its flipside being "Audio&Video" thus allowing for the saving of data transfer for people just listening. That would be a popular improvement, I think.

Thank you for the interview Dr Keating .Sir Roger Penrose
is a living legend 😊

[squamish]

One of the few actual geniuses in physics. He is responsible for the modern and WAY too delayed study of consciousness, which should have started with the rest of the Scientific Revolution 500 years ago. Imagine where we'd be today. The great respect with which the rest of the physics community holds him may be the reason this field even exists at all.

[JonathanGoslan]

There are people who read Emperor's at the time and there are other people. I was very taken with it at the time and am gratified to have lived so long knowing that consciousness is non-computable. Thanks so much for getting the interview.

[MadderMel]

Uncle Roger ! We are so very proud of him here in England !

[sdal]

The emperor's new mind and the road to reality. I am still reading them after many many years.

[jojolafrite]

This man is a legend. Quite an admirable and agreeable man. And even if many probably say this a lot, I still want to say it. Thank you, sir for discussing these subjects so that all of us, lucky enough to live at the same time as him and his lectures (or interviews, or discussions) people can contemplate the implications of these theories.

[footylovr]

One of the truly brilliant intellectual minds of all time. Whenever I read or watch something by Roger, I immediately escape the fantasy we live everyday and get one step closer to reality.

[gilbertengler]

I love your contributions dear sir Penrose. Living in France I noticed your presence during the coronation of Charles III. Your appearance made the program worthwile assisting.

[michaelkavanagh]

He's 92! Forget the physics. How did he do that!

[Age_of_Apocalypse]

Dr. Brian Keating, many Thanks for having Sir Roger Penrose as your guest: that was a great discussion! 👍👍

Indeed, we wish he will stay with us for many more years; he's so intelligent and interesting. That man is a treasure. 🙏

[leonelmateus]

Glad to see Mr Penrose in good health! He is just starting up... always exciting ideas and lucid explanations to be expected from him. I hope he keeps on and gets his books completed and published! God speed!

[billyworkman]

I'm not afraid to admit that this is over my head, still mentally entertaining.

[salmanuel]

A chance to hear Roger Penrose discuss Emperor's New Mind? I must be there. I read the book in 1990 and was forever hooked on Roger's theories and ways of thinking.

[dereleth]

A national treasure and one to be cherished as we have so few left in the UK now.
