Physicist Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme frontiers of science are just as susceptible to mere trends, dogmatic beliefs and flights of fancy as anyone else. He also looks at how it has shaped his own work, and argues that an even wilder reality may lie behind current fantastical ideas.

The first official colouring book based on nonperiodic pentagonal tilings.

Der neue Penrose ist eine Zusammenfassung von Penroses Sicht der modernen Kosmologie - diesmal unter Anwendung thermodynamischer Konzepte, die ein zyklisches Universum beschreiben: Die Entwicklung verläuft vom Urknall zum Endknall, mit dem ein neuer Zyklus von Zeit und Raum beginnt. Der Bestseller - jetzt im Taschenbuch!

What can fashionable ideas, blind faith, or pure fantasy possibly have to do with the scientific quest to understand the universe? Surely, theoretical physicists are immune to mere trends, dogmatic beliefs, or flights of fancy? In fact, acclaimed physicist and bestselling author Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme frontiers of physics are just as susceptible to these forces as anyone else. In this provocative book, he ...

In his bestselling work of popular science, Sir Roger Penrose takes us on a fascinating tour through the basic principles of physics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy to show that human thinking can never be emulated by a machine.

In seinem Klassiker erläutert der international führende Mathematiker und Physiker, Sir Roger Penrose, seine These, dass die geistigen Fähigkeiten des menschlichen Gehirns nicht durch Berechnungen von Elektronengehirnen erreicht werden können - und provozierte eine neue KI-Debatte. ...des Kaisers neue Kleider - steht auf dem Buchumschlag. Der renommierte englische Physiker Penrose will damit sichtbar machen, daß die Vertreter der Künstlichen ...

Los ciclos del tiempo es la nueva obra de Roger Penrose, dedicada a la cosmología y al estudio del origen del universoLa revolucionaria y exitosa obra de Roger Penrose El camino a la realidad presentaba una guía completa y comprensible de las leyes que rigen el universo desde nuestro conocimiento actual. En Ciclos del tiempo, su libro más ambicioso, Penrose va mucho más allá: desarrolla una visión inédita de la cosmología y propone una respues...

Roger Penrose is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. He has received a number of prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their joint contribution to our understanding of the universe.

What came before the Big Bang? How did the universe begin and must it inevitably end? In this remarkable book Roger Penrose brilliantly illuminates some of the deepest mysteries of the universe. Cycles of Time contains a penetrating analysis of the second law of thermodynamics - according to which the 'randomness' of our world is continually increasing - and a thorough examination of the light-cone geometry of space-time. It combines these two...

One of the most important works...of the twentieth century' The TimesShadows of the Mind is a profound exploration of what modern physics has to tell us about the human mind. A visionary description of what a new physics - one that is adequate to account for our extraordinary brain - might look like.

This volume introduces and systematically develops the calculus of 2-spinors. This is the first detailed exposition of this technique whichleads not only to a deeper understanding of the structure of space-time, but also provides shortcuts to some very tedious calculations.

Spinor and Twistor Methods in Space-Time Geometry introduces the theory of twistors, and studies in detail how the theory of twistors and 2-spinors can be applied to the study of space-time. Twistors have, in recent years, attracted increasing attention as a mathematical tool and as a means of gaining new insights into the structure of physical laws. This volume also includes a comprehensive treatment of the conformal approach to space-time in...

Accessible and stimulating introduction to Roger Penrose's vision of theoretical physics for the twenty-first century.
