Was There Only One Big Bang?
goldaryn writes "Physorg.com is running an interesting story about the work of Oxford-based theoretical physicist Roger Penrose. Penrose has been studying CWB radiation and believes it's possible that space and time did not come into being at the Big Bang but that our universe in fact continually cycles through a series of 'aeons.' He believes that he has found evidence supporting his theory that the universe infinitely cycles."
...and boy are it's legs tired.
Wow, who needs Thought Police. Everyone should now be imprissoned because they must, in some instantiation of themselves, have committed some awful crime. Why worry about whether it is in this universe or another? Safer to just lock them all up anyway.
I just watched the first two parts. Absolute garbage. They try to compare synonyms, such as why do "regular explosions" produce chaos, but the "big bang explosion" produced order. It's not the same idea of explosion!?!
They even mention that the early exponential expansion of the universe was "unprecedented". Really? The universe was 10^-30 seconds old when it happened!
I'll not waste time on the remaining parts.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
no to big-bang-centricity ! your universe is not the center of the multiverse !
You bastard! You're trying to make us humans even more insignificant than we already are??
We already admitted that Europe isn't the center of the world.
We already admitted that the world isn't the center of the solar system/universe
We already admitted that the sun isn't the center of the galaxy
We already admitted that our galaxy isn't the center of the universe
You're trying to make us admit that even our universe isn't the center of the multiverses?
Damn you!
So that's the message Destiny is looking for in StarGate Universe - Galactus wuz here.
Trick question! It doesn't have any fingers....
I think you got this CWB thing completely upside down.

I see a different front page headline: "Science decodes message from God." Below the fold:
Oxford, UK. Physicist Roger Penrose has deciphered a hidden message from the creator Deity, encoded in subtle variations of the universe's background radiation. The message consists of a single word sentence: "Suckers!"

he left it in the other universe.

The Big Bang happened when the mass of Roseanne came in to contact with the mass of Tom Arnold...

"There is another theory which says that this has already happened."
I see what you did there. Very clever. Actually reading the article and summarizing it rather than telling the GP to RTFA, thus avoiding a backlash from GP, and the attendant waste of time flame war, while promoting useful discussion. Nice work. This merits a stamp of approval.
OK
