Este libro de Roger Penrose explora la física teórica del siglo XXI, abarcando desde la física a gran escala del Universo hasta el mundo cuántico a pequeña escala y la física de la mente. Penrose resume y actualiza sus ideas expuestas en 'La nueva mente del emperador' y 'Las sombras de la mente', incluyendo contribuciones de Abner Shimony, Nancy Cartwright y Stephen Hawking. En los apéndices, explica el teorema de Goodstein y el pensamiento matemático, y propone experimentos para probar la reducción de estado inducida gravitatoriamente.
Sir Roger Penrose is an English mathematician, mathematical physicist, and philosopher of science. He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, an emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford, and an honorary fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and University College London. He shared the 1988 Wolf Prize in Physics with Stephen Hawking for the Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems, and the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity". He proposed the Penrose triangle and corresponded with M. C. Escher, influencing his Waterfall and Ascending and Descending. Penrose's eponymous aperiodic tiling presaged the discovery of quasicrystals by Dan Shechtman.
