  2. Conformal cyclic cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmology

    Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity and proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose. [1] [2] [3] In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity (i.e. the latest end of any possible timescale evaluated for any point in space) of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang ...

  3. Big Crunch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch

    Penrose and Gurzadyan suggested that signatures of conformal cyclic cosmology could potentially be found in the cosmic microwave background; as of 2020, these have not been detected. [ 22 ] There are also some flaws with this model as well: skeptics pointed out that in order to match up an infinitely large universe to an infinitely small ...

  4. Big Bounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bounce

    In 2006, it was proposed that the application of loop quantum gravity techniques to Big Bang cosmology can lead to a bounce that need not be cyclic. [20] In 2010, Roger Penrose advanced a general relativity-based theory which he called the "conformal cyclic cosmology". The theory explains that the universe will expand until all matter decays ...

  5. Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion,_Faith,_and...

    The first three Chapters discussed three important theories with the feature of fashion, faith and fantasy, respectively. They are the string theory (fashion), quantum mechanics (faith) and the current cosmology theory (fantasy). From Chapter 4, Penrose introduced his own theory, including the controversial Conformal Cyclic Cosmology.

  6. Cyclic model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_model

    A cyclic model (or oscillating model) is any of several cosmological models in which the universe follows infinite, or indefinite, self-sustaining cycles. For example, the oscillating universe theory briefly considered by Albert Einstein in 1930 theorized a universe following an eternal series of oscillations, each beginning with a Big Bang and ending with a Big Crunch; in the interim, the ...

  7. Cycles of Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_of_Time

    Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universe is a science book by mathematical physicist Roger Penrose published by The Bodley Head in 2010. The book outlines Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) model, which is an extension of general relativity but opposed to the widely supported multidimensional string theories and cosmological inflation following the Big Bang.

  9. Roger Penrose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose

    [58] [59] He made several conjectures about C and the WCH, some of which were subsequently proved by others, and he also popularized his conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) theory. [60] In this theory, Penrose postulates that at the end of the universe all matter is eventually contained within black holes, which subsequently evaporate via Hawking ...
