Roger Penrose: Why Quantum Mechanics Needs a New Foundation

Roger Penrose: Why Quantum Mechanics Needs a New Foundation

Sir Roger Penrose explains twistor theory, singularity theorems, and their implications for quantum cosmology. We discuss his singularity theorems, the chiral nature of twistors, extra dimensions, and the philosophical implications for free will and the nature of reality.- 00:00 - Intro- 01:22 - Twistors & cosmology- 15:00 - Most significant thought- 20:45 - Twistors are chiral- 25:34 - Extra dimensions- 27:02 - Geometry overview- 37:57 - Grothendieck- 40:36 - Gravity & QM- 43:00 - Wave function collapse- 53:04 - Gravitational fields & wave function- 01:11:02 - Free will- 01:14:03 - Discrete vs continuous universe- 01:16:35 - AI capabilities- 01:19:09 - Many worlds theory- 01:20:38 - Idealism- 01:21:35 - CCC- 01:23:31 - Penrose’s legacy- 01:33:25 - Outro & supportSPONSORS:- THE ECONOMIST: 20% off digital access – https://www.economist.com/toe- INDEED: Boost job visibility – https://indeed.com/theories- HELLOFRESH: Free breakfast for life – https://www.HelloFresh.com/freetheoriesofeverything- PLANET WILD: First month free, use code EVERYTHING9 – https://planetwild.com/r/theoriesofeverything/joinRESOURCES:- Support TOE on Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal (early access to ad-free audio episodes!)- Listen to TOE on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e- Become a YouTube Member Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWIQh9DGG6uhJk8eyIFl1w/join- Join TOE's Newsletter 'TOEmail' at https://www.curtjaimungal.org- Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt- Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs- iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/better-left-unsaid-with-curt-jaimungal/id1521758802- Subreddit r/TheoriesOfEverything: https://reddit.com/r/theoriesofeverything Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal features long-form, technically detailed interviews with leading researchers in physics, mathematics, consciousness, and philosophy, exploring topics at the level of active research.
