I was indeed very slow as a youngster.

This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it.

The basic theory in twistor theory is not to add extra dimensions.

Some years ago, I wrote a book called the Emperor’s New Mind and that book was describing a point of view I had about consciousness and why it was not something that comes about from complicated calculations.

But I think it is a serious issue to wonder about the other platonic absolutes of say beauty and morality.

People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.

If you didn’t have any conscious beings in the world, there really wouldn’t be morality but with consciousness that you have it.
