is the keeper of in his www page. Check out Ben Bullock's imaginations
of crackpottery where he lists me in his world wide web page
(12) Penrose, ROGER PENROSE
VIOLATIONS OF PHYSICS LAWS OR QM, Quantum Mechanics: It appears that
Roger stood up and looked around and saw how lucrative was Mr. Hawkings
con-artistry of black holes, and thus looked into the mirror and
appraised the situation that there was plenty of room for two to play
that game.
Roger had not made any new and important contribution to physics and
realizing that there was room for two, not one to play the game of
violating the Pauli Exclusion Principle
forbidding the existence of black holes, thereby started to go into the
fleecing the general public with the publishing of science fiction
novels.
1. Book -- Penrose, Roger. The emperor's new mind : concerning
computers,É 1989
2. Book -- Penrose, Roger. Shadows of the mind : a search for
the missing sciÉ 1994
As of lately, it appears that Roger is tiring of black holes and
worm holes and assorted exotica and so Roger, being the business savvy
sort of chap has decided to cut out his own niche, cut his own swathe
in
the field of "mind and physics". Perhaps playing second fiddle to
Hawking became tiresome and so wisely Roger is going into his own niche
area. A shame that Roger never really had any new and creative idea in
either the subject of mind or that of physics and appears to be
enchanting readers with the same old paradoxes of Schroedinger cat and
others just to keep their attention.
I have been informed that Roger's fair is not successful in any
physics classrooms but is making a splash in the philosophy departments
on campuses.
As Roger Penrose goes deeper and deeper into his science writing,
maybe he will become the next Stephen King artist and that Stephen
Hawking, Roger Penrose and Stephen King are all the same kind of
science fiction artists au galore.
NOBEL Prize ? No. But, recently knighted by England. This is done in
those cases where hopes of elevating limelighters so that they may be
able to sway opinion and may hoodwink or pull-the-wool over the eyes of
the Nobel Committee in Sweden into giving Mr. Penrose a Nobel for his
physics
crackpottery.
