      • 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.
