Review created: 09/07/06

LOVE:First time the link:Quantum Physics,Human Brains and Consciousness.
DISLIKE::Lack of more proofs of the ultimate energy link explaining the above.

On March,2003 I read and wrote a review about this book on Epinions.com.My ID was julietapetrpni.(You can verify this if you wish on the published review about this book)
All these years I've continue reading,comparing and trying to comprehend one of my favorite Penrose's book:Shadows of the Mind.
Up to now,I've not founded another most explicite and logical explanation of the intriguing and fascinating phenomena called Consciousness,than Penrose's quantum physics cause suggested by Penrose.
Physical particles indeed could be the trigger factor of the appearance on the microtubules(neuronal synapses)of such a highest intellectual fonction on human beings!The second issue:physical brain patterns,different of the common ones,could also react differently from the average at the encounter or hosting of external physical particles (neutrinos muon,tao or others),which eventually vehiculate intelligent information.These individuals could be considered as receptors.
The book is for readers with a basic knowledge of physiscs of particles,anatomy,biology,chem​istry and human physiology.
The link Penrose suggest is unique and lead us to the possible comprehension of one of the most intriguing,fascinating and unknowed misteries How could emerge the consciousness on human and make us different from animals!
