Professor Sir Roger Penrose's work, spanning fifty years of
science, with over five thousand pages and more than three hundred
papers, has been collected together for the first time and arranged
chronologically over six volumes, each with an introduction from
the author. Where relevant, individual papers also come with
specific introductions or notes. Publication of The Emperor's New
Mind (OUP 1989) had caused considerable debate and Penrose's
responses are included in this volume. Arising from this came the
idea that large-scale quantum coherence might exist within the
conscious brain, and actual conscious experience would be
associated with a reduction of the quantum state. Within this
collection, Penrose also proposes that a twistor might usefully be
regarded as a source (or 'charge') for a massless field of spin
3/2, suggesting that the twistor space for a Ricci-flat space-time
might actually be the space of such possible sources. Towards the
end of the volume, Penrose begins to develop a quite different
approach to incorporating full general relativity into twistor
theory. This period also sees the origin of the Diosi-Penrose
proposal.
