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."

    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.

  3. Yes to big-bang-centricity ! by captainpanic · · Score: 4, Funny

    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!
