Penrose examines the foundations of quantum mechanics. Then in chapter 30
(page 816), Penrose gives his explanation based upon quantum-gravity. In
chapters 31, 32, and 33 Penrose expands upon those ideas.

I don't recommend "The Road to Reality" to somebody without a good math
background. However, you might read his book, "The Emperor's New Mind".

*Roger Penrose , a man with impressive edcuation, and an impressive career.
Shows how impossible it is for the universe, earth and manking to form
itself after a big bang explosion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose

The calculations of British mathematician Roger Penrose show that the
probability of universe conducive to life occurring by chance is in 10 to
the10.123. The phrase "extremely unlikely" is inadequate to describe this
possibility.

Roger Penrose*, a famous British mathematician and a close friend of Stephen
Hawking, wondered about this question and tried to calculate the
probability. Including what he considered to be all variables required for
human beings to exist and live on a planet such as ours, he computed the
probability of this environment occurring among all the possible results of
the Big Bang.

According to Penrose, the odds against such an occurrence were on the order
of 1010123 to 1.
It is hard even to imagine what this number means. In math, the value 10123
means 1 followed by 123 zeros. (This is, by the way, more than the total
number of atoms 1078 believed to exist in the whole universe.) But Penrose's
answer is vastly more than this: It requires 1 followed by 10123 zeros.

Or consider: 103 means 1,000, a thousand. 10103 is a number that that has 1
followed by 1000 zeros. If there are six zeros, it's called a million; if
nine, a billion; if twelve, a trillion and so on. There is not even a name
for a number that has 1 followed by 10123 zeros.

In practical terms, in mathematics, a probability of 1 in 1050 means "zero
probability". Penrose's number is more than trillion trillion trillion times
less than that. In short, Penrose's number tells us that the 'accidental" or
"coincidental" creation of our universe is an impossibility.

Concerning this mind-boggling number Roger Penrose comments:
This now tells how precise the Creator's aim must have been, namely to an
accuracy of one part in 1010123. This is an extraordinary figure. One could
not possibly even write the number down in full in the ordinary denary
notation: it would be 1 followed by 10123 successive 0's. Even if we were to
write a 0 on each separate proton and on each separate neutron in the entire
universe- and we could throw in all the other particles for good measure- we
should fall far short of writing down the figure needed.

Science can't do it. It can't predict anything precisely. It can
control a little. That is all.

"The entire point of doing the computations, was to find out how probable

It is pointless to explain to adman that there is a huge difference between
a mathematician and a scientist.
Oddly enough he probably would not go to an astronomer to get his appendix
out or to a physicist to get his teeth cleaned.
He also probably thinks a mathematician can tell the difference between a
coffee cup and a doughnut.

Default Yep, it is an impossibility!

Brain..., You have not offered any proof what so ever that Harun Yahya is
wrong. What you have offered is your assertion, your opinion, and an
alternate view point from another web site on that one specific part of the
page.

And even if you were correct, so what? Harun Yahya being wrong has nothing
to do with Penrose and his findings, and, has nothing to do with Penrose's
thoughts on his findings.

Why do you so desire to distract from Penrose's findings? Are you having
doubts about your beloved science? Get your family bible out and start
reading. Your doubts will go away if you study it and cross reference as any
other text book.

Kolmogorov's second axiom states in plain English that an event is
impossible when the probability of that event happening is zero.

From which it can be deduced that if an event has a probability value
greater than zero that event can happen.

That is not an assertion, nor is it an opinion, or an alternative view
point.

It is a fact.

So when Harun Yahya said:

"In practical terms, in mathematics, a probability of 1 in 1050 means
"zero probability"."

He was lying, either deliberately or through ignorance.

And it was Harun Yahya that declared:

"Penrose's number tells us that the 'accidental" or "coincidental"
creation of our universe is an impossibility."

But Roger Penrose never made such an assertion.

If you cannot accept the evidence against Harun Yahya, then the onus
is on you to defend his assertions.

| You are incorrect. Penrose gave an interview where he expounded on his

out

| mathematical answer be MIS quoted? The numbers do not lie.
|
| If you actually read the book, which I doubt, you would know that
| Penrose's answer was indeed overwhelming. .1 in 1(with trillions and
| trillions of
| zeros) against.
|
| You obviously read about Penrose's lecture on a religious web site. That
is
| the worse place in the world to learn science.
|
| Like many scientists and philosophers, Penrose first states the proplem,
and
| then propose his solotions. The computations which you refer to is given
in
| detail chapter 27 (page page 686) of Penrose's book "The Road to Reality".
| The problem is now stated. The simplistic answer from your website is
"God
| did it". Penrose does not agree.
|
| In chapter 28 (page 735), Penrose gives some of the attempted solotions
| given by other scientists. This includes "symetry breaking",
"inflationary
| cosmology", and "the anthropic principle". In chapter 29 (page 782)
| Penrose examines the foundations of quantum mechanics. Then in chapter 30
| (page 816), Penrose gives his explanation based upon quantum-gravity.
In
| chapters 31, 32, and 33 Penrose expands upon those ideas.
|
| I don't recommend "The Road to Reality" to somebody without a good math
| background. However, you might read his book, "The Emperor's New Mind".

So you are saying Penrose was delibertly misquoted?


Taken out of context.

I think not.


You are correct, you have shown very clearly that you do not think.

He did the numbers. The numbers do not lie


What he proved is that they do.
