Tidbits and gossip and things

I forgot to mention...........

 

Did you know that....

------He apparently recently had a child with his wife,

but he's in his sixties? Its rumor, can't find out more..

------He filed suit in England when his wife brought back

toilet paper bearing his inimitable pattern? The company

said regularity of pattern contributes to irritation, and the

aperiodic pattern on the toilet paper has a soothing effect.

They have since settled, although Penrose pottie-wipers

are no longer sold.

 

-------His work on the roots of consciousness drew him

to study microtubules in the brain that may experience

a quantum computational effect that could be the true

source of consciousness? And that it was featured in

the 2001 Academic Decathlon study material on the brain?

 

------That he coauthored with Stephen Hawking the black

hole science that made Hawking's career? Including the

event horizon, energy release, and size-specific quanta of

black holes?

 

------That his seminal science is all the more amazing when

you consider that his first degrees were a Bsc in Mathematics

and a PhD in Algebraic Geometry?

 

-----That his younger brother Jonathan won the All-England

Chess Championships 10 times?
