Roger Penrose - Why Did Our Universe Begin?

Free access to Closer to Truth's library of 5,000 videos: bit.ly/376lkKN
That the universe began seems astonishing. What brought it about? What forces were involved? How did the laws of nature generate the vast expanse of billions of galaxies of billions of stars and planets in the structures that we see today? What new physics was involved? What more must we learn?

    The theory of black holes is a mathematical theory and not a scientific theory. The mathematical theory of black holes looks pretty, and perhaps Dr. Penrose has earned the Nobel price for the sophisticated mathematics of the mathematical theory. But the theory does not have any experimental/observational proof. And the scientific method requires experimental/observational proof to verify any hypothesis/theory. According to the theory of black holes, black holes cannot be observed directly. What you see in books and magazines, TV and internet - those are computer simulations and not real black holes. The indirect evidence of the existence of black holes comes from the accretion disks surrounding the alleged black holes. But other objects can be extremely compact, something like quark stars, for example, to create accretion disks. Which brings us to another huge flaw of the theory of black holes - the assumption that at certain conditions (like those inside a massive collapsing star) nothing can stand against gravitational contraction. This tremendous assumption is made without experimental/observational proof. Therefore, it denies the scientific method. We know that when stars collapse, degenerate pressure of electrons or neutrons stops the gravitational collapse at some point. depending on the mass of the stars. We also know from experiments that when experiments attempt to squeeze quarks too tightly, they exhibit asymptotic freedom that makes further gravitational collapse into a black hole unlikely - the mathematical theory of black holes does not take these experimental facts into consideration at all. Furthermore, if you studied the general relativity theory, you have to know that according to the equations of the General relativity theory, the collapse of a star into a black hole looks differently depending where an observer is. If the observer is very close to the collapsing star, then the collapse is extremely quick. However, for distant observers, the time of the collapse stretches to infinity. Gravitational collapse time dilation = If a black hole is formed by gravitational collapse, then to an outside observer the relativistic time dilation of the event means that it reaches its Schwarzchild limit (and becomes an actual black hole) after an infinite amount of time. Which means that a distant observer would have to wait for eternity to see how the collapsing star finally becomes a black hole. If the equations correct, than we, distant observers, cannot observe black holes and from our point of view those stars in the process of collapse into alleged black holes remain to be observed by us as collapsing stars and not black holes. That is, the theory of black holes tells us that from the point of view of a collapsing star, it has already collapsed and formed a black hole, and from the point of view of external observers, the star has not yet collapsed to form a black hole. Hence, the black hole exists and it does not exist at the same time. But they show us computer-enhanced simulations of black holes and assure us that the black holes are "readily observed." And for the "black hole exists" part, please check again the first part of my comment- there is no observational/experimental proof that the collapse of a neutron star into a black hole is unstoppable.

    Yeah. I'm sure he is (or was -- IDK if he still teaches) one helluva good teacher. If more educators in modern times were as sincere in their efforts as is Dr. Penrose, we (the USA) almost certainly would not be in the current pickle in which we find ourselves with regards to the abysmal state of our population's "education". [Begin ranting in...3...2...1...] You were warned...lol You know, the one where over half of America's high school graduates were unable to find the UNITED FREAKING STATES OF AMERICA on a globe...and That was over twenty years ago. Now, all of those "baby Einsteins" are so-called "adults" who keep themselves busy by convincing themselves, each other, and any other dull minds they can reach, that the earth is either flat, hollow, or both, and the moon is hollow, and etc., etc. Yessir, we're just BEGGING for another group to take the lead in world affairs, which won't end well for us, at least not if you prefer English (or any other Romantic language) over Cantonese. Or, maybe it's just the freedom to be or to do...Anything of Your choice, really, that appeals to you, rather than living where you're told to live, working where you're told to work, gaining access to a very, VERY short list of government approved and government edited programming over the airwaves, and ditto the interwebs. Yeah, the USA is, unquestionably, filling itself with Eloi, ripe for the picking. We are voluntarily expediting the wholesale slaughter of our bodies, our minds, our freedoms, and our property, to name just a few of the things we will lose before all is said and done, should we continue to fail our youth (and ourselves) in education, as we have been doing for several decades now. (SNS for the rant...lol. I just hope that maybe...MAYBE...if more people who HAVEN'T grown old, grown filthy rich, and permanently affixed themselves as a Neverending Part of our dysfunctional Political System [I'm looking at YOU, Congressmen and -women (and members of the Executive Branch, of course) who have been screwing...uhhh, Serving...I meant SERVING!...the People of our great nation for longer than I've been alive -- you g*ddamned jackals...you power hungry crooked SOBs!]... ...MAYBE, if we make enough noise about this problem then it might get fixed. But I doubt it, because that would require several attributes which are all in short supply in this country these days. I'm talking about things like values that are based on ethics rather than on a "Me! Me! Me!" mentality. I'm talking about working for what you have. And I'm also talking about The Big One -- Personal Accountability, which has become more or less nonexistent nowadays thanks to an increasingly coarse media which glorifies murdering, raping, stealing, cheating on your spouse, stealing from anyone and everyone you can, being lazy, believing that you're some kind of "badass gangsta!" (as if That is somehow a worthy and valuable goal...), and on and on and on...like this rant! And it ALL starts in our homes; our broken homes, which are at BEST dysfunctional even IF the parents stay together, and on and on... But that's a whole new, different (but connected) rant for another time... *SIGH*

Obviously this is a general observation and not absolute. If you compare Sir Roger with Paul Dirac, Alan Turing and Stephen Hawking etc., they all worked with a team of others in order to have others to bounce their ideas off and were all very modest individuals.

The classmate said that if he could do that again, he'd pay for him to have a lapdance.

    Really enjoyed this and Sir Penrose is brilliant as always and explaining concepts in simple terms. The maximum entropy state of perfect equilibrium seems to be the beginning and the end of everything in the material universe. Everything in between is merely a process to reach back to that state again. When Sir Roger Penrose says there was nothing before the big bang, I think he means we don't know or cannot see but what if we could. I have seen some videos of Sir Penrose where he is contemplating the role of consciousness which makes things very interesting as we have a new variable that requires attention and investigation. It might also provide answers to reconcile principles of Quantum mechanics and General Theory of Relativity.

His theory makes beautiful sense to me, and answers some important questions, such as what happened before the Big Bang. I was thinking these gravitational ripples could even contain information that could be passed to the next universe. The theory reminds me of Hindu creation concepts and some of Buddhism/ Taoism as well. Absolutely awe inspiring.

    This is a great video about how theoretical physicists hypothesise about the Universe, getting help from mathematicians to identify the mathematics needed to express these ideas, and come up with a theory that experimental physycists and astrophysicists can use to make observations to verify the theories. We're very fortunate to have an intellectually honest theorist like Roger Penrose to explain these ideas without any pretence that they are nothing more than ideas at this stage, whereas some scientists like to promote their ideas in the media, giving the rest of us the impression that their hypotheses are accepted by the scientific community when in fact they are simply promoting them.

    For an absolute ignorant like myself this was intense, but absolutely brilliant. The clock metaphor for the time and matter correlation is strinkingly simple and jawdropping. Never before had I seen such a simple and clear way to put it. From then on the concept becomes accessible for a total ignoramous like me to being able to at least follow the rest of the conversation. Also, the way it is put also leads me to think as time as a dimension of its own due to the close relationship it holds with the very nature of space. Not a new concept for me but now I feel like I get a true reason why for it. Of course, for a physicist, what I am saying may be of the most basic intellectual incompetence, but I find it so astounashingly fascinanting that I can't hold myself from sharing my deepest respect for the minds that can trully grasp this.

The core math is conjugate variables. but the fact that all these things are perfect analogies of each other makes me feel like that time is just the frequency of space at some weird fundamental level.

    @Tine Tannies What even is a noble prize? I mean REALLY what is it? It is an honor for humans to get assigned by…? Other humans. Other humans decide whether another human is worthy of it. Not to downplay achievements but in the scale of the universe even an atheist agrees that it values to nothing. Even an atheist agrees one human has no right to judge another human. Especially since atheists believe there is no true moral law. And what even is a physicist? Even more what is the art of science? It’s the pursuit of knowledge of creation that we can’t fully understand. We can abstractly understand a lot but ultimately it always leads to a dead end. My point: These nominations you’ve assigned him ultimately amount to nothing so why are you insulting this other person for making a statement when ultimately both people are equal in terms of their understanding about the questions of the beginning of the universe? Yes this man is more qualified in physical science but when it comes to the beginning of the universe… this topic is (and always will be) unable to prove itself without some form of faith. Both Atheists and Christians base their beliefs about the beginning of the universe on faith. Although your final statement may be correct…(probably not for this person) why direct it on this person anyway?

    What is interesting is that Penrose's explanation for exponential expansion and contraction is explained in terms of consciousness. He talks about the universe 'remembering' and 'forgetting' about its size and this somehow translates into physical states. This is interesting language. Physicality in such language looks a lot like an emergent property of consciousness. Some people would say it's like saying the Universe is emergent from the Mind of God except that Penrose talks only about the Universe thereby implying some sort of pantheism.

    When Sir Roger finally built up to the possible similarities between the very remote past and the very remote future, with the exception of scale, for which there will be no meaningful measure, my jaw actually dropped. What an elegant concept! This video is also an excellent demonstration of how individual notions build on each other within and eventually between generations of scientists.

    @@jishnuraj9866 I think what he's saying is that its not the absolute temperature that's important but the relative temperature that matters. So rather than thinking of the big bang as the hottest and the distant future as the coldest its more that at the big bang temperature was uniform, meaning at maximum entropy, and in the distant future it will be uniform, equally meaning maximum entropy, and with maximum entropy comes the inability to measure time and with it measure anything else. So I think in the same way that he said that the universe would forget it's size with no way to measure it, it would also forget it's absolute temperature as there would also be no way to measure that.

Even Christianity effectively has multiple Gods (see Trinity), even though many within the religion (who are seemingly confused by the their own religion) don't understand this. 98% of people either believe what they believe due to the family and community they were born into, or they were forcefully converted.
