- To illuminate what he believes this “something” might be, and to suggest where a new physics must proceed so that we may understand it, Penrose cuts a wide swathe through modern science, providing penetrating looks at everything from Turing machines (computers programmed from artificial intelligence) to the implications of Godel’s theorem maintaining that conscious thinking must indeed involve ingredients that cannot adequately be stimulated by mere computation.

Penrose’s book Shadows of the Mind — a grand tour of computation, consciousness, algorithms, quantum theory and the brain — is, for me, still the most thrilling introduction to AI and its ...
Penrose theorises that the wave function cannot be sustained in superposition beyond a certain energy difference between the quantum states. He gives an approximate value for this difference: a Planck mass worth of matter, which he calls the "'one-graviton' level". [2]

Introduction. 1.1 In his stimulating book Shadows of the Mind, Roger Penrose presents arguments, based on Gödel's theorem, for the conclusion that human thought is uncomputable. There are actually two separate arguments in Penrose's book.
[Penrose] . . . examines cytoskeletons and microtubles, minute substructures lying deep within the brain's neurons. (He argues that microtubles—not neurons—may indeed be the basic units of the brain, which, if nothing else, would dramatically increase the brain's computational power.)
