In this interview, Nobel-prize winning physicist Roger Penrose narrows down the most pressing questions at the heart of both physics and philosophy.
00:00 On philosophy and physics
04:00 On consciousness and the wave function collapse
23:00 On the Big Bang and cosmology
Both conceptual and mathematical questions arise from the tiniest quantum state to the large scales of cosmology. We ponder what the nature of the universe really is. Nobel-prize winning physicist Roger Penrose postulates a cyclical cosmology - a universe moving through infinite iterations. The renowned mathematical physicist sits down with us to discuss the possibility of a cyclical cosmology and narrows down the most pressing questions at the heart of both physics and philosophy.
