Roger Penrose - Did the Universe Begin?

Congratulations to Sir Roger Penrose for winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Some scientists claim that the universe did not have a beginning. Some theologians contend that the universe did not need a beginning. Yet the universe is expanding, and so run the movie in reverse and there seems to be a beginning. What stakes are riding on whether the universe had a beginning?

    @@AlexanderShamov Well, David Hilbert was also a mathematician, and an expert in dealing with infinities, and yet concluded "The role that remains for the infinite to play is solely that of an idea...." and "...the infinite is nowhere to be found in reality, no matter what experiences, observations, and knowledge are appealed to." ("On the Infinite", David Hilbert). Hilbert was not just pointing out properties, but showing their absurdity when applied to a real-world situation. If absurdities are entailed by an infinitely extended world, then it is rationally inconsistent of us to accept it (even if no logical contradiction is entailed). I should have said "rationally incoherent" or something like that. And absurdities are indeed entailed by the mere existence of infinitely many things. Worse yet, the world is not "temporally extended" (that is a misuse of tense, and therefore a meaningless string of words). But it has existed for some particular number of minutes. If that number were infinite, then arriving at the present would be like arriving at the highest or final number in an infinite series. And that is indeed logically incoherent. An infinite series is distinct from a finite one just because _it has no highest or final member._ As to logic: I have much I could say, but let's just put it like this: If I contradict myself in replying to you, then you should not take my response seriously (and I doubt you would). So, likewise, if a proposed view of the world is rationally or even logically incoherent, neither of us should take it seriously.

    Prof. Penrose is one-of-a-kind genius for how he tells his insights. Basically, he made irrelevant the question "What was before the Big Bang?" with his explanation of the essence of time being the matter itself, and these reciprocations - which turns implosions into expansions, and viceversa. He explained with utmost simplicity, what Eternity is.

    I would be careful to use the word eternity because what is meant by word X in philosophy is not what is meant by word X in physics. In philosophy (although I may be mistaken as I am more focused on physics) that which is eternal does not undergo change. He would have to put forth a model where nothing is changing at all (no Big Bang or inflation or any events) for it to be eternal and I am sure that won’t happen without any commotion from the philosophy community.

Ironically it was atheists who appealed to the Steady State Theory and mocked his idea of a beginning. You also need to differentiate between a existential beginning and a temporal beginning if I am not mistaken.

    Yep. And you can see the interviewer pushing that point at 7:32 "..and (laughs) just walk me through that one more time...." meaning 'but you are not making sense there'. The BB theory posited a dense, hot point where all matter in the umiverse sfarted. So hot and dense that particles were at the subatomic level. Penrose decsribed the faaaar future where pretty much every particle has equalled out as photons, in a vastly diffuse and cold "mist". That isn't a 'hot dense place, so hot and dense and singular that you have a soup of subatomic particles'. Being able to imagine 'ah but.....from far enough away it might look like a single spot/place' isn't the same as ".....so it would actually BE another hot dense spot, so hot and dense that it explodes".

    Not just dimensions but time. The space-time manifold only has meaning in the presence of mass-rest-mass to be precise. In the final heat-death of the universe, it has lost all means of spatial and temporal self-mensuration. The photons have relative wavelengths but only relative to each other. It is no longer big nor small, and clocks cease to tick; clocks cease to exist. It's like the pin-ball machine resets to zero and you start from scratch.
