== Biografia == |
|||
Figlio di uno scalpellino, studiò presso il [[Collegio Romano]], e fu ammesso nella bottega dell’architetto [[Francesco Peparelli]], ove si perfezionò in architettura collaborando nella progettazione ed realizzazione di importanti edifici. |
|||
Nel [[1636]] divenne membro dell’[[Accademia di S. Luca]]. Ricoprì nel tempo anche cariche pubbliche, quali Architetto degli Ospedali di S. Rocco e del SS. Salvatore ([[1647]]), Misuratore della [[Camera Apostolica]] ([[1644]] - [[1655]], con [[Carlo Rainaldi]]) e Sovrintendente dei [[Palazzi Apostolici|Palazzi Pontifici]] ([[1671]], collaborazione con [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini|G.L. Bernini]]). La vastità dei suoi incarichi ed il loro protrarsi nel tempo lo portarono a servirsi di collaboratori per controllare i diversi cantieri che doveva dirigere contemporaneamente ed a collaborare, a sua volta, con altri famosi artisti. La collaborazione con il Rainaldi fu relativa a lavori nel [[Vaticano]] ed in [[Castel Sant'Angelo]] quindi al restauro delle [[Mura di Roma]] da [[Porta Portese]] a [[Porta San Pancrazio]], con il Bernini curò restauri e manutenzione nei [[Palazzo Pontificio di Castel Gandolfo]], come anche della [[Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano]]. La sua ultima nomina fu nel 1695 in una commissione con gli architetti [[Carlo Fontana]] e [[Mattia De Rossi]] per giudicare i progetti di una cappella nella [[Chiesa del Gesù]]. |

==Overview== |
||
The book discusses the physical world. Many fields that 19th century scientists believed were separate, such as [[electricity and magnetism]], are aspects of more fundamental properties. Some texts, both popular and university level, introduce these topics as separate concepts, and then reveal their combination much later. ''The Road to Reality'' reverses this process, first expounding the underlying mathematics of [[space–time]], then showing how electromagnetism and other phenomena fall out fully formed. |

|||
* Palazzo Del Bufalo Niccolini Ferraioli (con F. Peparelli [[1642]]) |
|||
The book is just over 1100 pages, of which the first 383 are dedicated to mathematics—Penrose's goal is to acquaint inquisitive readers with the mathematical tools needed to understand the remainder of the book in depth. Physics enters the discussion on page 383 with the topic of space–time. From there it moves on to [[field (physics)|fields]] in spacetime, deriving the [[electromagnetism|classical electrical and magnetic forces]] from [[first principles]]; that is, if one lives in spacetime of a particular sort, these fields develop naturally as a consequence. Energy and [[Conservation law (physics)|conservation law]]s appear in the discussion of [[Lagrangian mechanics|Lagrangians]] and [[Hamiltonian mechanics|Hamiltonian]]s, before moving on to a full discussion of quantum physics, [[particle physics|particle theory]] and [[quantum field theory]]. A discussion of the [[measurement problem]] in quantum mechanics is given a full chapter; [[superstring]]s are given a chapter near the end of the book, as are [[loop gravity]] and [[twistor theory]]. The book ends with an exploration of other theories and possible ways forward. |

|||
The final chapters reflect Penrose's personal perspective, which differs in some respects from what he regards as the current fashion among theoretical physicists. He is skeptical about [[string theory]], to which he prefers [[loop quantum gravity]]. He is optimistic about his own approach, [[twistor theory]]. He also holds some controversial views about the role of consciousness in physics, as laid out in his earlier books (see ''[[Shadows of the Mind]]''). |

{{quote|So here, then, are all the laws of the universe, in one handy 1,100-page volume. It would appear that they are even more complicated than the laws of cricket, although just as necessary. Moreover, it says on the front cover that it is a "Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller", and on the back, next to the price, that it is "popular science". Open it up at random and you will see that Jordan's autobiography this ain't. Your reaction, I suspect, may be closer to Nigel Molesworth's than you may like: "It's just a jumble of letters sir i mean i kno i couldn't care less whether i get it right or not but what sort of an ass sir can hav written this book."}} |

The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe is a book on modern physics by the British mathematical physicist Roger Penrose, published in 2004.[1] It covers the basics of the Standard Model of particle physics, discussing general relativity and quantum mechanics, and discusses the possible unification of these two theories.
Overview
The book discusses the physical world. Many fields that 19th century scientists believed were separate, such as electricity and magnetism, are aspects of more fundamental properties. Some texts, both popular and university level, introduce these topics as separate concepts, and then reveal their combination much later. The Road to Reality reverses this process, first expounding the underlying mathematics of space–time, then showing how electromagnetism and other phenomena fall out fully formed.
The book is just over 1100 pages, of which the first 383 are dedicated to mathematics—Penrose's goal is to acquaint inquisitive readers with the mathematical tools needed to understand the remainder of the book in depth. Physics enters the discussion on page 383 with the topic of space–time. From there it moves on to fields in spacetime, deriving the classical electrical and magnetic forces from first principles; that is, if one lives in spacetime of a particular sort, these fields develop naturally as a consequence. Energy and conservation laws appear in the discussion of Lagrangians and Hamiltonians, before moving on to a full discussion of quantum physics, particle theory and quantum field theory. A discussion of the measurement problem in quantum mechanics is given a full chapter; superstrings are given a chapter near the end of the book, as are loop gravity and twistor theory. The book ends with an exploration of other theories and possible ways forward.
The final chapters reflect Penrose's personal perspective, which differs in some respects from what he regards as the current fashion among theoretical physicists. He is skeptical about string theory, to which he prefers loop quantum gravity. He is optimistic about his own approach, twistor theory. He also holds some controversial views about the role of consciousness in physics, as laid out in his earlier books (see Shadows of the Mind).
