Roger Penrose – The
Emperors new mind
Quotes
- Many philosophers and psychologists seem to take the view that humans consciousness is very much bound up with human language.
- One way around this problem might be to ignore the boundary … but … one often needs to phrase arguments in terms of what actually happens at boundaries.
Summary / Key points / Ideas
- Great run-through through physics theory.
- Turing machine. Complex sets. Mandebrotset. Relativity theory and then goes into quantum theory.
- An interesting thought regarding quantum theory: It is all a simulation. Like Minecraft. But the simulation plays on a quantum level as the basic building block. And the frequency of the simulation is the speed of light. Thats why this is the maximum we can observe, that „exists“. That is the reason for quantum effects. The computer saves calculations and memory for quantums that are not „observed“ (Like a tensor in tensorflow). Once it is „observed“, i.e. there is a need to calculate the „real“ status, the computer does so. Is this what e.g. Musk is looking into? Is someone working on this theory? How could you prove that this is indeed the case? And whats the point of simulations like this? You can try outcomes of different sets of rules for the simulation (i.e. Different physics rules). It also explains why physics laws are so tight with mathematics. Because it follow actually formulas! But what would / could be achieved with such simulations?
- I think his point is weak on how all this leads to Artificial Intelligence not coming. Its not a clear link. Euklidean geometry does also work really really well for nearly everything we do, why wouldn't AI even though we do not yet have the full physics theory in or beyond quantum theory?
