27 de sept. de 2017 · In this provocative book, he argues that fashion, faith, and fantasy, while sometimes productive and even essential in physics, may be leading today’s researchers astray in three of the field’s most important areas—string theory, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.
In the case of quantum mechanics, its stunning success in explaining the atomic universe has led to an uncritical faith that it must also apply to reasonably massive objects, and Penrose responds by suggesting possible changes in quantum theory.

Each of the eponymous words “fashion”, “faith”, and “fantasy” suggests a quality that would seem to be very much at odds with the procedures normally considered appropriate when applied to a search for the deep principles that underlie the behaviour of our universe at its most basic levels.
