Conformal Cyclic Cosmology is a story of the origin and the end of our universe from great mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose. It’s goes like this: the infinitely far future, when the universe has expanded exponentially to to an unthinkably large size, and every black hole and particle has decayed into faint radiation .... that infinite stretch of space and time is identically the SAME THING as the infinitesimal and instantaneous big bang of a new universe, and our universe is just one in an endless chain.

    fake-science: Looking at the cyclic universe from a macro perspective, this fallacy proves that energy can be transferred from low to high energy, and then from high to low energy, keep looping Scientists have discovered that the universe has been degenerating because of the Big Bang evidence(contradicts with the big bang). Scientific theory: The universe evolved from the increase (degeneration) of entropy, concealing the contradictory lies of creationism(god). The Bible, book of job, isaiah or other, says that god stretches out the heavens, which is the redshift of the universe. Universe evolution insults mechanics: The gravity of the sun evolved the solar system, but I have never seen the gravitational theory that gravity can evolve antigravity(gravitation of eight planet). The gravity of the sun should interfere with their evolution, causing them to eventually fail to form. With the advancement of science and technology, there are more and more loopholes in the theory of biological evolution, which proves that when science was underdeveloped, those people superstitious in the theory of biological evolution. Nowadays, the theory of evolution is very controversial in the scientific community.

    In short: Once all indicators of scale have decayed, and scale can no longer be determined, scale no longer matters, all measurements are impossible and points are only relative to each other in ratios of distance, not units. At this point where suddenly what was once infinitely far apart can also be considered infinitely close, big bang. Rinse repeat for eternity.

    I'm not picking holes but genuinely confused about the implications of dark energy in this idea, maybe you know - can ratios tell you everything if expansion accelerates? If photons can always meet, and their interactions are preserved, then scale doesn't matter, but if dark energy expands space, then after some scale the photons will never interact, never intersect, and be infinitely separated by expansion of space that creates more space in a unit of time than the photon can travel.

    1:17 he called it outrageous not because he thinks its outrageous, but that he knew others would think it to be outrageous. I love all of Penrose's theories. They all seem so optimistic and beautiful. It reminds me of Anaximander's concept of the apeiron in which there was indefinite mass where thinks come from and went back into. He also defined things as being the opposites hot and cold. This reminds me of thermodynamics. Anyway, I think it was he who postulated that the Earth was created in some sort of vortex. Man the presocratics were so ahead of their time. This makes me feel that human intuition when deep and introspective is usually correct in postulating theories.

I'm sure I've done a terrible job of explaining this idea, it's late at night and I've just heard of it somewhere random online I'm sure, not from one of these well explained videos, but the logic involving time becoming meaningless and then a new big bang therefore eventually happening is shared between the 2, even though this video's example uses relativity, and the one I'm butchering in this comment thinks in terms of quantum wave functions of probability density.

Put the case that neither infinity nor zero have/has and cannot possibly have any corresponding or matching or equivalent direct immediate personal experience, or it put another way they are rather like an image of a piece of bread but cannot be eaten or otherwise experience as can a piece of bread, so your famous Concept* is little or *no* more than a rather vague image or symbol entirely with a matching corresponding or equivalent direct immediate personal experience. *Can it be said that what infinity and zero have in common is that infinity cannot be directly immediate personally experienced an by the same token, nor more can Zero, thus they are interchangeable, or come to one and the same thing?

Then I was able to understand your videos and they helped me get happier whenever I was depressed from school study. I usually hate subjects taught in school except maths physics and chemistry. I always used to top the exams of maths physics and chemistry. I also had won many exams at international or national level. I got in love with physics because of your channel. I always used to be too excited to watch your videos. Now I have learned a lot about physics and its beauty.

It was the Hubble Space Telescope's 2001 discovery of supernova 1997ff which provided evidence for Dark Energy. This development has little to do with "pop-cosmological communications"(and if it's legitimate science communication with the public, why are you calling it "pop"?). I'd add that the spread of the internet has everything to do with disseminating modern physics, and pre-internet Cosmos doesn't give much perspective on this at all. I think you're a bright person feeling a little insecure about understanding the physics and trying to compensate by making pronouncements about what we're getting on the receiving end. Note the term "pop-psychology" strongly implies inaccuracy and even deception, and creating terms like "pop-cosmological" has similar implications. Sagan would resent such a characterization. He was, and PBS Spacetime is, interested in disseminating accurate science and that term, and "popular folk", is denigrating what they are trying to do. Don't try to compensate for not being able to contribute directly, yourself.

    Well you can't measure the position and velocity of a virtual particle at the same time, thus you cannot observe any meaningful data from it. Not to mention that you can't only not observe anything, but you also can't interact in any way. Virtual particles also require actual real particles in order to be "exist" at all, because virtual particles only pop up when observable particles get close together. They are emitted from one particle and absorbed by another, but they disappear before they can be measured.

There is also the Quantum-dynamical view of small things of such a size , but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle puts limits on the position/momentum and energy/time relations. It states that the "Initial State" of the universe must be quantized , and thereby finite. This beginning must have a size amd time ... independant of matter. What does QED says about the trajectory from the BigBang to the BigNothing ?

    There is another fundamental factor that could explain how this all works; The actual 'size' of the quata of reality might just be determined at that moment of infinite smoothness and massless energy. For example, we think of a quanta of space to be some ridiculously small 10^-37 cm or something like that. but, what if that 'measure is also scaled at the start of the next aeon. The speed of causality in this new aeon would also scale then so light would travel much faster in that aeon compared to the previous one and we would not be able to tell, from the inside. It would even fool observers with clocks.

    Actually Rogers point is not just about why the entropy of the universe was so low at the beginning. His point is that there is a paradox that nearly all physicists fail to recognise; how come the spectrum of the CMB precisely matches that expected by an object at MAXIMUm entropy, when the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy can only rise? CCC is Roger's attempt to resolve this paradox by showing how max and min entropy can be equivalent.

    I don't think Penrose is suggesting that max and min entropy are equivalent - he is after all subscribing to information loss in a black hole! In this sense, he says that entropy is 'transcended', and all of the gravitational degrees of freedom are 'liberated', and that in a new aeon, the entropy of gravity is at a precise minimum, allowing the entropy of the other quantum forces to be at a maximum. - I love his lectures on KZread, I think I've seen over a dozen of them! Do you think I have this idea correct? Each aeon truly starts at minimum entropy, and increases to a max at the end of black hole decay - this process eats the information in the massive particles, and thus eats their gravitational entropy... So the gravity entropy is reset every aeon, and the non-gravity entropy in a constant ebb-and-flow, generating particle mass and the arrow of time, each aeon. - But to your point, my impression of the Weyl curvature hypothesis is that Penrose & Tod & more suggest that the heat death and the big bang (the moments of maximumest and minimumest entropy) are physically equivalent - they 'become' entropic equivalents in the new aeon's matter genesis, the liminal moment of transcendence where the universe starts another heartbeat or breath. I really try to wrap my head around the 'transcendence' of entropy so let me know what you think!

My understanding of CCC is that there is no mass at both the big bang, and also at the end, after all the black holes have evaporated due to hawking radiation, all matter has decayed. Without mass, there are no clocks, there is no time experienced by the massless particles, and so, without time, there is no measurement of distance and you can rescale the universe conformally. Such that "big and cold" universe can be seen as "small and hot" as a new Aeon begins.

    If you think about it for a moment the CCC is a fractal (since all a fractal really is is a never-ending pattern and the CCC is as never-ending pattern of big bangs and expansion), and since kinetic energy leads to a contraction in rest mass vs kinetic energy (making rest mass negligible) as it gets higher you have an inevitable state that would lead to a break down in the function of the Higgs field giving quantum particles mass leading to a massless universe which begins the big bang all over again so in a way the CCC leads to a form of contraction and expansion in a fractal system that doesn't needlessly break the conservation of energy as that energy carries on into the next Aeon leaving dark energy in its wake. I'm not sure if I'm saying what I mean clearly enough but I hope so. As far as I'm understanding it the CCC meets everything you think except the actual symmetry being self-similarity instead of conformal. I'm not quite sure what you mean by that but I find this whole thing very fascinating either way.

    When the universe reaches maximum entropy, a sudden entropy dip could mean all remaining and surviving existing matter or antimatter could converge on a single point, forming a singularity. This singularity would be a proto-universe and would expand to form a new universe. This means that existance is always in a state of rebirth, since there is no reason why all the matter SHOULDN'T converge unto a single point. If there is a dip in entropy, a new big bang could happen. TL;DR According to entropy, the universe is in a cycle of rebirth, as all particles could just converge on a single point, resulting in a big bang.
