Congratulations
to Sir Roger Penrose for winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Are quantum
events required for consciousness in a very special sense, far beyond the
general sense that quantum events are part of all physical systems? What would
it take for quantum events, on such a micro-scale, to be relevant for brain
function, which operates at the much higher level of neurons and brain
circuits? What would it mean?

Sir Roger
Penrose is a mathematical physicist, mathematician, philosopher of science, and
Nobel Laureate in Physics. He is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics
at the University of Oxford, an emeritus fellow of Wadham College, Oxford and
an honorary fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and of University College
London (UCL). Penrose has made contributions to the mathematical physics of
general relativity and cosmology. He has received several prizes and awards,
including the 1988 Wolf Prize in Physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking
for the Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems, and one half of the 2020 Nobel
Prize in Physics "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust
prediction of the general theory of relativity". The other half was
awarded to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.
