Roger Penrose - Did the Universe Begin?

Free access Closer to Truth's library of 5,000+ videos for free: bit.ly/376lkKN
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?

    Of all the truly commendable academics and philosophers that this channel has introduced me to, sir Roger strikes me as the most effective in the sense that he appears to stringently uphold the values and requirements of good science whilst also allowing himself to extend the reaches of what he’s willing to postulate.

    His "aeon" theory is nothing more than the very ancient "turtles all the way down" phenomenon. It's not science. It's laughable on its face. What is driving these processes? How did they come into being? Did they pop out of nothing? Have they been going on "forever"? It's all utter nonsense.

    Really? I feel like a WWII prisoner of war in Germany, lined up against a wall and machine gunned with infinity declarations to explain everything. All of his collapses of logic come from that use. For example, nothing means no mass and no energy and no other particle existence, so how does nothing become something? This proposes for example that nothing is unstable. Then he adds that existence is unstable. Well okay, make something from nothing in a lab and then turn it back into nothing if this is the case. Second, cycling existence does not answer how the first existence from nothing got here. Einsteins relativity says a particle in motion is energy, and so it would have a frequency, but a mass at rest doesn't. So his equivalences were false. Lastly, how motion exists is not explained by such a model. Motion relates to time, not mass. We grab masses to study motion to get units of time, but time is motion, not mass.

    People are not thinking about the problem correctly. The question is: Is the natural state of the universe "something" or "nothing". And to that I think we can say with 100% certainty that we've really never had any good evidence for nothing. Even if you did assume time began at the big bang that means the variables that allow for time to come into existence existed and however material or immaterial those variables are - They are not nothing if they are required for everything.

    We only wish that was the case. In truth science knows with a pretty big certainty that we come from nothing and that we’re a cosmic throw of the dice that never should have happened. Before the Big Bang the universe was nothing - a field of quantum possibilities never to come into manifestation as they don’t have anything to interact with - all of them all in superpositions all at once. However since it is a field of infinite possibilities one of those is that two particles could collide in a superposition. That is the Big Bang, matter manifested. We’re born from the eternal abyss and we’re heading straight back to it as the universe cools down and collapses onto itself. Just an eternal void with nothing ever happening ever again.

    “It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man. With the proof now in place, cosmologists can no longer hide behind the possibility of a past-eternal universe. There is no escape: they have to face the problem of a cosmic beginning.” - Alexander Vilenkin I agree with you, but according to the scientific data we have (as Vilenkin said), the universe has not been here forever, it had a beginning and will most probably have an end. We know that something cannot come into existence without a cause, right? Nothing produces nothing. So, something else, something different than the universe must have caused it into existence and that entity must itself be eternal, without beginning and end, as you stated.

My friend typically responded, as any Fire sign would, that he'd want to be that being ! Personally (I am a Libra) I feel like I'd appreciate more the opportunity to look back at the whole thing and see what's what from that point, rather then to try at the changing of things, though, maybe, the sight might motivate me to somehow do something about something, but that's just rhetoric, hey, that'll never be "me", my will come long before that !

The result was indeed a cosmos unbounded in the three dimensions of space and one of time. It did not begin and has no edge they said.

    Beginning and end are relative to something that exists between that beginning and end. I am not sure that it is meaningful to ask about what happens outside that time interval unless one can contemplate something that exists outside that time interval. If we cannot do that then how do we define time because time requires measuring change in something, and we do not have any idea at all what that something is (before the big bang). What I mean is that perhaps the question is meaningless in that there is no meaningful answer that will be satisfactory.

    I could go into this in depth but at a later time, perhaps. It's correct, regardless of when it's done. So let's look at the great attractors as prior events to our own blacksphere event. Or Andromeda's blacksphere event. I don't believe we would be here without those prior events happening. It trickles down and up from our perspective, really. I also believe we will find more of these great attractors as our ability to peer improves. It's an exciting time right now in science, I think. And with EMFSYSTEMS just getting started, the future is quite bright for the next generation of scientific research and discovery. EMFSYSTEMS will be leading us into the infinite ♾️ vacuum space.

No matter how infinitesimal it might have been once, it was still physical and material. All things material had a measurable beginning.

    I think entropy gets reset in the conformal mapping that connects the eons. When you emerge from one semi-infinite into the start of another semi-infinite period, the mapping interprets the infinitely dissorderly state of the previous eon into a refeference state for the current eon. That is how I understand it.

    If your equations produce nonsense, then perhaps there is something wrong with the equations, or the assumptions you are making that you plug into your equations. At 8:02 Penrose says all you need to do is “put down the Transformations which make infinity squash down and then you take the reciprocal and that's the stretching out which gives you for the Big Bang.” (Oh,...and you need some other equations in there, too.) Infinity magically transforms and squashes down, that is nonsense.

    If you ask me Penrose just struggled to explain the concept in more simple terms, so he kinda retreated into the equations. There is nothing nonsensical about his proposal. Or at least nobody found a nonsensical element within it yet. And its not even that counter-intuitive how it works. The infinity he talks about effectively comes down to the Law of truly large numbers. If you have a googol years time, even a chimpanzee randomly hitting buttons on a typewriter will eventually happen to write the Lord of the Rings. If you have a googol to the power of a googol years time, Quantum fluctuation will eventually happen to randomly create the physical novels out of nothing somewhere. And if you have a googol to the power of a googol to the power of a googol years time, that might be enough for Quantum fluctuation to create a new big bang.

    @@deanodebo Well, mathematics is how new theorems may be born, but there has to be a justification for transforming the infinite expansion into a cataclysmic collapse that then causes a new Big Bang. The photons expanding out to infinity have no mass. Therefore, there is no gravity to cause the universe to collapse. So there must be some errant assumptions in Penrose's equations. One errant assumption he makes is that the cold dark (almost) nothingness of the universe an infinite number of years from now is the same as the absolute nothingness before the beginning of time.
