Fantasy in Conformal Cyclic Cosmology

aeons, assumptions, Bars-Steinhardt-Turok model, black holes, Boltzmann brain, bouncing cosmologies, concentric low-variance circles, conformal cyclic cosmology, consciousness, cosmic microwave background, cosmology, cyclic cosmologies, dark matter, de Sitter horizon entropy, disorder, Douglas Scott, Edward Tryon, entropy, erebon, fine-tuning, gravitational wave epoch, Hawking radiation, intelligent cause, Mount Everest, Phil Halper, physicists, physics, Roger Penrose, Sean McDowell, Second Law of Thermodynamics, Stephen Hawking, Stephen Meyer, Tod equations, trilemma, universe, Weyl Curvature Hypothesis

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

Fashion and Faith in Conformal Cyclic Cosmology

Aeon, Baylor University, bouncing cosmologies, conformal cyclic cosmology, Conservation of Information, cosmology, Cumrun Vafa, cyclic cosmologies, dark energy, David Olive, Don Page, empirical record, erebonic field, erebons, eternal recurrence, faith, fantasy, fine-tuning, geometers, Gordon Kane, John Polkinghorne, John Roberts, John Roe, Krzysztof Meissner, Laurie Brown, Michael Denton, Michael Dickson, Northwestern University, Page curve, Paul Tod, Phil Halper, Phillip Johnson, physics, quantum theory, Return of the God Hypothesis, Richard Dalitz, Richard Dawkins, Roger Penrose, scientific reasoning, Sean McDowell, Simon Saunders, Stephen Meyer, The Nature of Nature, The Story of Everything, Weyl Curvature Hypothesis, William Dembski

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