In these lectures Roger Penrose and I will put forward our related but rather different viewpoints on the nature of space and time. We shall speak alternately and shall give three lectures each, followed by a discussion on our different... more
"Layman's Abstract: This dissertation looks at how there is a texture to our temporal experience, how sometimes time seems to go faster, or slower, and how, on rare occasions, it seems to stop altogether. I suggest that this is a... more

El presente trabajo caracteriza brevemente la teoría cuántica de la mente desarrollada por Roger Penrose y Stuart Hameroff y ofrece algunas críticas sobre la misma. This paper explains in short the quantic theory of mind developed by... more

Sir Roger Penrose (born 8 August 1931) is an English mathematical physicist, mathematician and philosopher of science. He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and an emeritus fellow of Wadham... more
Stephen Hawking admired A.K. Raychaudhuri’s contributions to Physics. His contributions are widely recognized by the international scientific community. But AKR remains a hidden figure in his own homeland. Link:... more
Updated February 2022: The creation, or emergence, of a technological singularity is the subject of a wide array of speculations. Due to their lack of tangible criteria, the prospect of an upcoming singularity is still unclear, if not... more

This book will challenge how you think about time. Any complete understanding of the universe must include an understanding of time. Yet, so far, no theory describes our experience of time. Physics can no longer purport a theory of... more
Una discussione sulle criticità dell’Artificial Intelligence. Un dibattito, fra scienza e filosofia. Il confronto tra un eminente fisico e matematico, sir Roger Penrose, e uno dei massimi filosofi teoretici del nostro tempo, Emanuele... more
Presentado en el IX Coloquio de Humanidades de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. El mito de la caverna de Platón ha tenido un gran impacto la epistemología. Roger Penrose, en el prólogo de Shadows of the Mind, hace una... more
Advances in artificial intelligence and neuroscience claim to have begun to undermine the assumptions of the arts and educational theory community by explaining consciousness through either a reduction to mathematical functionalism or an... more
Raw and unedited notes and considerations on R. Penrose and S. Hameroff's Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory, Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay studies, Jürg Fröhlich Bose-Einstein condensation implications, Karthikeyan Marimuthu and Raj... more
Recent writings by Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose make it very timely to examine afresh whether an infinite temporal regress of events is possible. I argue that physical infinities entail the violation of metaphysical necessity, in... more
The article discusses developments in modern science that are relevant to Platonic philosophy as well as Jungian concepts of 'unus mundus', the psychoid archetype, and synchronicity. Keywords: Orch OR, quantum brain, archetype, insect... more
Critique is directed against lingering philosophical Idealism and its counterpart; rationalistic physicalism. The remarkable discoveries of quantum physics invalidate them both, findings that have largely been ignored. The objective world... more
The main aim of science is to know and to know is to better understand this paradoxical universe of ours.Then there is technology whose aim is to apply what we know to make the world a better place. However there are questions we ask... more
Resumen: Al final de su libro "La conciencia inexplicada", Juan Arana señala que la nomología, explicación según las leyes de la naturaleza, requiere de una nomogonía, una consideración del origen de las leyes. Es decir, que el orden que... more
It is suggested that Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic semiotics provides a framework for a diagrammatic representation of a sign’s proper structure. The action of signs is described at the logical and psychological levels. The role of... more
Una doverosa avvertenza, di seguito non si vuole specificatamente discutere della consistenza, dal punto di vista della fisica e più in generale della scienza, dell’ipotesi dell'Universo Olografico, della Fisica dell’Informazione,... more
This article presents the scientific discoveries of Penrose and Ferent. In this way you can compare and evaluate their scientific discoveries. Ferent Quantum Gravity and Einstein's equivalence principle: “Einstein's equivalence... more
This entry brings together the philosophies of Charles S. Peirce, John Dewey and Gilles Deleuze, crossing over the continental and pragmatic divide to demonstrate their analogous approach to the action of signs in the world. They... more
Geometric and motivationals but especially graphics arguments are presented concerning a posible generalization to the Black Hole (BH) model. The propousals are highly linked (i think) with the spinorial formalism. As a first step, we... more
This essay thematises an observer-oriented space curved upon itself. Burgin‘s texts “Situational Aesthetics“ (1969) and “Geometry and Abjection“ (1987) as well as the works “Memory Piece“ (1967) and “Park Edge“ are discussed as... more
According to Penrose, the fundamental conflict between the superposition principle of quantum mechanics and the principle of general covariance of general relativity entails the existence of wavefunction collapse, e.g. a quantum... more
[NOTE: I no longer agree with all of the propositions in this article.] Special relativity inclines most contemporary interpreters (DiSalle, Maudlin, Penrose, Sider, Wheeler) away from the Thomistic three-dimensional, substance ontology.... more
This text was submitted to a journal. As it’s rejected and considering that it was very exhausting (a no-man’s land) to write it, no new submission will happen soon. There is actually a relatively similar book chapter written by the same... more
The Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems (after Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawking) are a set of results in general relativity that attempt to answer the question of when gravitation produces singularities.... more
Erwin Schrödinger 1944 yılında yazdığı Yaşam Nedir? kitabında, fiziğin içerisinden doğan bir bilimin canlılığı açıklayacağını iddia etmişti. Geçtiğimiz yüzyılda, madde ve enerji hakkında pek çok yeni şey öğrenildi. Schrödinger'in... more
In this paper, the author introduces the reader to Roger Penrose´s program against the dualism mind-world and discusses the most important philosophical consequences of Penrose´s program. The subject of the analysis is the constitution of... more
Connes utilizes the fact that spatial distance is now measured as inverse frequency of noncommutative time-frequency nonlocality. He realized that the Pythagorean 3/2 ratio as a multiplicative power factor for music resonance also relies... more
[Most of the quotes in this piece are taken from Lee Smolin's *Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe*, which was published in 2013.] This piece focuses on Lee Smolin's position on what he takes to be... more
In working on Optimal Human Functioning, it has become clear that what it means to be a human being and how we treat human beings is changing. We realize now that an Individual Human Consciousness produces and integrates information... more
Four state spin-time reversal invariant has been discovered in URu2Si2, where a spin of an electron must be double-time reversal approximate symmetry breaking. This takes place at 17.5 kelvin and is believed to be a byproduct of the 5f... more
Inspired by the Penrose-Hameroff thesis, we are intuitively led to examine an intriguing correspondence of 'induction' (by fields), with the complex phenomenon of (metabolism-sustained) consciousness: Did sequences of associated induction... more
There are many layers to our understanding of the world. There are things that are immediate to our senses, which we know (or think we know). There are models we construct to explain, and which correspond with, the physical world that we... more
