Penrose was right, then, that fashion, faith, and fantasy have led much of modern cosmology astray. He was more right than he knew. Source

This brings us, at last, to the remaining “cyclic” proposal, that of Roger Penrose, which is perhaps the most quixotic of all. Source

Did the Universe REALLY Have a Beginning? Unpacking the “Battle for the Big Bang” with Dr. Stephen C. Meyer

Does science REALLY point to a beginning of the universe? If it does, why are some world-renowned physicists still searching for a loophole? On a mission to bypass the need for a Creator, alternative cosmological theories continue to emerge, but are they solving the mysteries of the universe or creating even bigger problems? Fresh off the release of his remarkable film, ‘The Story of Everything‘, Dr. Stephen C. Meyer returns to discuss Sir Roger Penrose’s Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) and answer questions like: What scientific evidence suggests that the universe had a beginning? What is the Steady State Theory and why is it no longer accepted? Who is Sir Roger Penrose and why are his latest cosmological ideas generating so much debate? Does Penrose’s theory eliminate or confirm the need…
