    Roger Penrose

    Read through the most famous quotes from Roger Penrose




    In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either one of them is the right approach to nature. ↗


    — Roger Penrose

    #book #either #here #i #know

    My own way of thinking is to ponder long and I hope deeply on problems and for a long time which I keep away for years and years and I never really let them go. ↗


    — Roger Penrose

    #deeply #go #hope #i #keep

    Ordinary photons do have spin, they have a notion of helicity so they spin around their direction on motion. ↗


    — Roger Penrose

    People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that. ↗


    — Roger Penrose

    #eureka #feeling #little #little things #moments

    So what I'm saying is why don't we think about changing Schrodinger's equation at some level when masses become too big at the level that you might have to worry about Einstein's general relativity. ↗


    — Roger Penrose

    #become #big #changing #einstein #equation

    The basic theory in twistor theory is not to add extra dimensions. ↗


    — Roger Penrose

    #basic #dimensions #extra #extra dimensions #theory

    The idea is if you use those two shapes and try to colour the plane with them so the colours match, then the only way that you can do this is to produce a pattern which never repeats itself. ↗


    — Roger Penrose

    #colours #idea #itself #match #never

    Well I didn't actually see the Matrix but I've seen other movies where with similar sorts of themes. ↗


    — Roger Penrose
