  1. Penrose points to a very interesting idea about gravity, namely that gravity may emerge from QM. Isn't this borne out by the holographic principle and the theory of information, namely that information involves mass-energy, which according to GR gives rise to gravity, i.e., spacetime curvature? So, the key to unifying GR and QM seems to be the fact that GR is a necessary consequence of QM! Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, because this really interests me and I'd like to learn more!

  2.  @jenrim  I really think it's the other way around, though perhaps it depends on your point of view.

  3. Could consciousness be a result of quantum computation, which isn't part of classical mathematics, and is this why our minds can circumvent any classical computer program designed to model any body of knowledge, such as math or physics?
