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. Among the new developments that
occurred during this period was the introduction of a particular
notion of 'quasi-local mass-momentum and angular momentum', the
topic of Penrose's Royal Society paper. Many encouraging results
were initially obtained but, later, difficulties began to emerge
and remain today. Also, an extensive paper (with Eastwood and
Wells) gives a thorough account of the relation between twistor
cohomology and massless fields. This volume witnesses Penrose's
increasing conviction that the puzzling issue of quantum
measurement could only be resolved by the appropriate unification
of quantum mechanics with general relativity, where that union must
involve an actual change in the rules of quantum mechanics as well
as in space-time structure. Penrose's first incursions into a
possible relation between consciousness and quantum state reduction
are also covered here.
