Favorite Roger Penrose Quotes

1. "And these little things may not seem like much but after a while they take you off on a direction where you may be a long way off from what other people have been thinking about." ~ Roger Penrose
2. "So what I'm saying is why don't we think about changing Schrodinger's equation at some level when masses become too big at the level that you might have to worry about Einstein's general relativity." ~ Roger Penrose
3. "This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it." ~ Roger Penrose
4. "Well, gauge theory is very fundamental to our understanding of physical forces these days. But they are also dependent on a mathematical idea, which has been around for longer than gauge theory has." ~ Roger Penrose
5. "Well, I don't know if I can comment on Kant or Hegel because I'm no real philosopher in the sense of knowing what these people have said in any detail so let me not comment on that too much." ~ Roger Penrose
6. "I was indeed very slow as a youngster." ~ Roger Penrose
7. "I'm pretty tenacious when it comes to problems." ~ Roger Penrose
8. "If you didn't have any conscious beings in the world, there really wouldn't be morality but with consciousness that you have it." ~ Roger Penrose
9. "Ordinary photons do have spin, they have a notion of helicity so they spin around their direction on motion." ~ Roger Penrose
10. "The basic theory in twistor theory is not to add extra dimensions." ~ Roger Penrose
11. "Well I didn't actually see the Matrix but I've seen other movies where with similar sorts of themes." ~ Roger Penrose
12. "Some years ago, I wrote a book called the Emperor's New Mind and that book was describing a point of view I had about consciousness and why it was not something that comes about from complicated calculations." ~ Roger Penrose
13. "As you say, the way string theory requires all these extra dimensions and this comes from certain consistency requirements about how string should behave and so on." ~ Roger Penrose
14. "In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either one of them is the right approach to nature." ~ Roger Penrose
15. "My own way of thinking is to ponder long and I hope deeply on problems and for a long time which I keep away for years and years and I never really let them go." ~ Roger Penrose
16. "But I think it is a serious issue to wonder about the other platonic absolutes of say beauty and morality." ~ Roger Penrose
17. "... Even an aardvarks think their offspring are beautiful" ~ Roger Penrose
18. "The ultimate behaviour of these matter distributions, taking the form of massless radiation (in accordance with CCC's §3.2 requirements), can then leave its signature on the crossover 3-surface, and then perhaps be readable in subtle irregularities in the CMB." ~ Roger Penrose
19. "To make this condition mathematically clearer, it is convenient to assert it in the form that the space-time can be continued smoothly, as a conformal manifold, a little way prior to the hypersurface . To before the Big Bang? Surely not: the Big Bang is supposed to represent the beginning of all things, so there can be no ‘before'. Never fear—this is just a mathematical trick. The extension is not supposed to have any physical meaning! Or might it …?" ~ Roger Penrose
20. "No doubt there are some who, when confronted with a line of mathematical symbols, however simply presented, can only see the face of a stern parent or teacher who tried to force into them a non-comprehending parrot-like apparent competence--a duty and a duty alone--and no hint of magic or beauty of the subject might be allowed to come through." ~ Roger Penrose
21. "We have a closed circle of consistency here: the laws of physics produce complex systems, and these complex systems lead to consciousness, which then produces mathematics, which can then encode in a succinct and inspiring way the very underlying laws of physics that gave rise to it." ~ Roger Penrose

Today's Quote

The spirit in the body is like wine in a glass; when it spills, it seeps into air and earth and light….It's a mistake to think it's the small things we control and not the large, it's the other way around! We can't stop the small accident, the tiny detail that conspires into fate: the extra moment you run back for something forgotten, a moment that saves you from an accident – or causes one. But we can assert the largest order, the large human values daily, the only order large enough to see."
