The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds and the Laws of Physics
Customer reviews (4)
18 December 2003The Emperor's New Mind.
Roger Penrose, \"one of the world's most knowledgeable and creative mathematical physicists,\" presents in his 1989 Emperor's New Mind one of the most intriguing and substantive popularizations of mathematical logic and physical theory that has ever been published.
27 August 2002Highly Recommended
As opposed to what the title suggests, the bulk of this book is devoted to describing the foundations of the modern physics and computing.
16 February 1999Penrose's Fascinating Summary of Modern Science
Roger Penrose, one of the world's top physicists, summarizes modern science, examining topics including Turing machines, relativity, quantum physics, black holes, etc.
2 October 1997Very thought provoking but logically flawed
I found the book to actually be more interesting in its discussion of physics and quantum mechanics than when I got to his thesis on mind and the computational impossibility of reproducing it in a computer.
