Is “quantizing gravity” the wrong approach? Sir Roger Penrose challenges one of the most deeply held assumptions in modern physics and proposes a radical reversal: maybe it’s not about making gravity quantum—but about making quantum mechanics gravitational.

In this brilliant segment from Quantum Convergence, Penrose explores the tension between the two pillars of modern physics—general relativity and quantum mechanics—and argues that their core principles (Einstein's equivalence and quantum superposition) are fundamentally incompatible. He explains why superpositions might have lifetimes, and how this conflict could point to a deeper theory yet to be discovered.

With clarity and poetic wit, Penrose shares a lifetime of thought, offering a window into why the “Diósi–Penrose model” could be key to understanding why large objects don't behave quantum mechanically—and why consciousness doesn’t collapse the wavefunction, nature does.
