Here’s why !

NASA = Never A Straight Answer !

Dr. Penrose is the Master of the overhead projector! (he doesn’t like the ‘camera’ type projectors)
He uses the same set of transparencies’ for most all his “C.C.C.” type lectures.

from his new book—

“Fashion, Faith and Fantasy in Physics”
Sir Dr. Roger Penrose
March 2017, Royal Institution lecture

“With a focus on string theory, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, Sir Roger Penrose looks at how physicists are just as susceptible to flights of fantasy, fashion and blind faith as anyone else.”

He conveys ideas with that method better than any power point. Thanks for posting the aeons before big bang link.

They’re really analyzing that CMB radiation for all it’s worth, and the wikipedia on conformal cyclic cosmology hints that there may be circular imprints.

Still doesn’t cover the tension between Hubble and Planck data posted here ;)

The idea of dark energy is attractive. It means that there is a free energy source just laying around waiting for us to tap into it. Who needs fossil fuels, wind turbines, or solar panels when all you have to do is plug into the dark energy outlet.

“Space-time and Quantum Mechanics are the pillars of our modern understanding of fundamental physics. However, there are storm clouds on the horizon indicating that these principles are approximate and must be replaced with something deeper. The union of quantum mechanics and gravity strongly suggests that “space-time is doomed”.”

It’s one of the few cosmological theories that actually addresses the laws of thermodynamics, and he has little use for the concept of “inflation.”

Climate Science is the poster child for that.
