Penrose interpretation

Penrose interpretation is an idea about how our brains might actually work. It was created by the scientist Roger Penrose and it suggests that our brains use something called quantum physics to work. Basically, quantum physics is a type of physics that is really small and deals with things like atoms and particles. Roger Penrose thought that our brains might use these same things to process information and even think. The idea is that parts of your brain use quantum physics to think, remember things and understand the world around us. To do this, the brain would use something called a "quantum computer". This is a computer that stores and manipulates information using very small particles instead of traditional ones like chips and transistors.
