• Penrose and the singularity

    From Jos Bergervoet@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 29 09:54:55 2021
    Roger Penrose talks about the "conformal cyclic universe" in
    his Nobel acceptance speech: (around 27:30)
    <https://youtu.be/DpPFn0qzYT0?t=1652>
    and about observing signals form a previous "eon" before the
    big bang.

    But wouldn't his own theorem predict an inevitable singularity
    in the big bang? And what is the concept of a singularity if
    you can apparently see through it? The drawing of the conformal
    cyclic structure looks more like a continuous transition than
    like any singularity..
