Asking a Theoretical Physicist About the Physics of Consciousness | Roger Penrose | EP 244

Dr. Peterson recently traveled to the UK for a series of lectures at Oxford and Cambridge. This conversation was recorded during that period with Sir Roger Penrose, a British mathematical physicist who was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for “discovering that black hole formation is a robust predictor of Einstein’s general relativity.”

Moderated by Dr. Stephen Blackwood.
