David Chalmers and Roger Penrose are connected through their shared academic engagement with the philosophy and science of consciousness, as evidenced by their mutual participation in the 1990s research resurgence [1] and the symposium on Chalmers' work [2]. Furthermore, Chalmers explicitly addresses Penrose's objections regarding quantum mechanics and consciousness [3] and analyzes Penrose's collaborative work with Stuart Hameroff {fact:1, fact:4}.

The Conscious Mind - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 1 fact
claimDavid Chalmers' account of consciousness addresses objections raised by physicist Roger Penrose regarding the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, specifically concerning why a conscious being is aware of only one alternative in a linear superposition.
Panpsychism - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 1 fact
claimDavid Chalmers believes his variety of panpsychist property dualism, outlined in his 1996 book 'The Conscious Mind', may be the theory Roger Penrose is seeking to reconcile the many-worlds view with observation.
