Proving Sir Roger WRONG!

On October 6, 2020 Sir Roger Penrose was recognized with a half-share of the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics. This marked a capstone in a storied career. On August 8, 2021 he turned 90, and to celebrate the world threw him a big party. I was one of the invited speakers to discuss his titanic contributions to cosmology. Of course, I brought him a gift…but it ISN”T what you might think! It’s a video on how we can prove him wrong!

I couldn’t resist throwing a bit of shade at the man who revealed the most mystifying aspects of black holes and the singularities that dwell within them. I wanted to take a critical look at his beloved Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and see it for all it is, warts and all, virtues and vices complete. This is part one of my exploration of CCC… beginning at the beginning: why might we need it, what is it, and what predictions does it make?

It was a fantastic week of online sessions celebrating Roger’s 90th Birthday and Nobel Prize sponsored by The University of Arizona’s Center for Consciousness Studies.

Bruce MacIver, Anirban Bandyopadhyay Conformal Cyclical Cosmology: Paul Tod, Brian Keating, Krzysztof Meissner, Vahe Gurzadyan.
