Roger Penrose asks beyond usual physics questions: what is consciousness, what are computational things in physics and what has gravity got to do with this? Why is it difficult to bring gravity and quantum mechanics together, what do free fall, the principle of equivalence and a cubic time dependent phase factor have to do with it? Why is conformal cyclic cosmology an option as explanation of the universeß Why is the collapse of the wave function the most important problem?
