Roger Penrose: Mathematics & What Exists

Jan 24, 2024
Roger Penrose, 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, explores fundamental questions about existence, the nature of mathematics, and the cosmos. He discusses the interconnections between physical, mental, and mathematical worlds, the relationship of mathematics with the physical universe, and presents his hypothesis of conformal cyclic cosmology. Penrose challenges the dominant view of pure physicalism and delves into the mystery of the alignment between mathematics, the physical world, and mentality.
