I am a Hindu and according to my ancient Hindu religion, Brahma (the creator of this universe in Hindu mythology) created this universe 155 trillion years ago and this universe will exist for a total of 311 trillion years. And when Brahma dies, this universe will 'die' along with him. Then a new Brahma will be born who will create a new universe to take the place of the old universe. And this process continues forever, without a beginning and without an end. My ancient Hindu religion also teaches that there are an infinite number of universes and each of those universes experience an infinite cycle of births (which you can call 'Big Bangs' in a modern scientific way) and deaths (which you can call 'Big Crunches' in a modern scientific way).

it takes a mind like that to stretch our imagination and ponder all the possibilities. Einstein suggested gravitational waves could result from his theory of relativity in1916, but we only recently found evidence that proved it.

[@joeshmoe7485]

No contradiction, I've read Penrose's book, Cycle's of Time. His theories agree with the 'big rip' and his CCC hypothesis does not say that the universe will undergo some kind of big collapse. What he says is that after the great rip, some unknown process essentially resets entropy. After reaching the highest possible state of maximim entropy in the big rip, scale no longer matters. All particles are flying so fast away from eachother at the speed of light that some condition (not unlike inflation) returns the entire universe to a state of extremely low entropy and the whole process starts over.

[@spottheturtle9568]

Ty, I was about to give this correction as well. Cycles of time is a great book every science fan should read.

[@ChristopherWentling]

He doesn’t believe in the big rip either. His theory posits that after all the matter in the universe decays and only photons will exist that the universe will lose its metric so that infinitely small becomes the same as infinitely large and thus begins the next cycle.

[@UnrebornMortuus]

everythings so big and far away its essentially ordered again, the end result of entropy is true order, and according to the scale of everything at the time, as the poster above me posits, yes, its infinitely large and small, for all intense and purposes if someone from the previous universe survived, theyd be incredibly small

[@loganwolv3393]

So basicaly after enough expansion,after the big rip,there will be so much vaccum that another big bang happends once again? I mean there's no need for a reset siince the particles are so much far away from each other.

[@gorequillnachovidal]

As far as I understand it, Penrose does not propose a bug crunch, but rather suggests that size itself is an emergent property that comes about with matter. When there is only energy left size disappears once again. His theory is based on states of entropy. Glad to see his ideas mentioned here. Thanks for your wonderful videos.

[@patrick-kees8962]

Do you have any sources I could use to read up on that, sounds really interesting but couldn't find anything through Google but that probably due using the wrong search terms

[@cellardoor888]

Yes, I think additionally that Penrose's conformal cyclic cosmology concept suggests that in the far distant future, once the universe has massively expanded and matter has turned to photons, that: a) photons have no internal clocks as they travel at 'c' so the universe no longer has a clock or time; b) thereby, since time and distance are linked, the size of the universe becomes indeterminate (but it is still conformal, ie the same shape as it was before); so c) if the universe is no longer big or small then it can be described as infinitely small, ie the origination state of a subsequent big bang, rinse and repeat ad infinitum. So, yes, I agree that the big crunch vs big tear query is not the point.

[@ho7026]

6:10 you've misunderstood. this is the whole point of conformal cycles - it doesnt shrink - in the universe when only light exists the concept of distance and scale is pretty much meaningless which Penrose compares to the very moment of big bang - ELI5 is that it gets rescaled . below from his 2006 paper: "Physically, we may think that again in the very remote future, the universe “forgets” time in the sense that there is no way to build a clock with just conformally invariant material. This is related to the fact that massless particles, in relativity theory, do not experience any passage of time. We might even say that to a massless particle, “eternity is no big deal”. So the future boundary, to such an entity is just like anywhere else. With conformal invariance both in the remote future and at the Big-Bang origin, we can try to argue that the two situations are physically identical, so the remote future of one phase of the universe becomes the Big Bang of the next"

Anything that makes it look like the universe was designed must be explained away, The same thing with the "informational panspermia'" hypothesis Anton mentions: bits of leftover information from the past universe accounting for order in the current universe. Just hope nobody recognizes that both of these explanations for order simply kick the can back up the alley to where the order, or anything, came from in the first place. These sure are two good band aids to help lessen the cognitive dissonance engendered by denying design.

[@Ejohns1004]

A few years ago I was in a astronomy class where I suggested something very similar to this. My idea was that the cycle of the universe was shaped something like a bunch of hourglasses stacked on top of each other, where there would be a "big bang" followed by a period before it reached some point of no return, where everything started getting sucked to one point down the line. Like the biggest black hole you could imagine. When everything was in that (gonna use black hole again here) one singular point... BOOM. New universe. And over and over again. Professor laughed and made fun of me to the class getting a good laugh. After that none of my classmates would work in groups with me cause the professor kept making fun of me for it whenever I raised my hand, so eventually I stopped raising my hand and then never took another astronomy class after that semester.

Still leaves the ultimate annoying question. If this was designed, what created the designer? If this wasn’t designed, why does it exist at all? I’ve thought about the idea of eternal nothing, folding onto nothing. Given a scale of true infinity in both the sense of time and space. Could a truly empty plane of existence, form into something tangible? Even if space and time doesn’t exist in true nothing, it has to have boundaries. Something exists, which challenges the notion of nothing. If there was nothing, everywhere, then something couldn’t exist. Something does exist, so nothing must have a boundary. That nothing must also be responsible for that something existing. Something can’t come from nothing, unless nothing is real. It would seem to make sense that for nothing to exist, something would also have to exist. Even nothing requires a definition. What defines true nothingness? Is true nothing capable of generating something?

We really have two options at the moment: either believe that matter/energy came into existence from nothing and will eventually return to non-existence for eternity, or matter/energy always existed and will always exist in a constant state of motion. We may still be at the relative beginning of the expansion of the universe and whatever is propelling everything away from everything else at an accelerating rate may run out in time for gravity to slow, and eventually retract, all space bodies.

Anton has completed misinterpreted what a conformal transformation is, your argument is actually closer to what Penrose has proposed. Its more that photons don't care about traveling huge distances in huge amounts of time, since they're undergoing time dilation. Everything is instantaneous from their perspective. The next big bag basically happens at infinity+1.

@@woobilicious. Seen from the photon's perspective: Time = 0, so the photon does not experience any traveling at all since the photon is killed (transformed) at the same moment it was created. What I don't understand is how it can accelerate up to the speed of light instantly. They say the photon does not accelerate because it only exists at light speed. If a spaceship had the ability to reach the speed of light by some technical means and travel for 80 years at the speed of light and then slow down again, you would not feel or sense anything of those 80 years, you would just see it almost reach the speed of light and slow down again 80 years later, without understanding the time that passed.

[@kevinking8222]

Hey Anton, I enjoy your videos. Thank you. I'm just a lay person, of course, but I don't think you got Penrose's theory right, based on his description of the theory. He does not predict a big crunch, exactly. He says that once the universe is empty, and basically only photons are around, which thenselves don't "experience" time from their own perspective, and thus go to infinity instantly, the cosmos loses all sense of scale. It can't tell how big it is. Basically it gets bigger and bigger and bigger until there are only photons left and it can't tell how big it is anymore and BANG, a new aeon. I don't think I gave it justice here off the top of my head, but check it out!

[@nmarbletoe8210]

... and even regular massive particles lose their mass over time, called "mass fadeout" in the CCC theory.

[@lordvenusianbroon]

I was going to put this in but you've made the comment - great that you've made it! Essentially he says all mass either decays - i.e. all particles e.g. protons have a half-life and they will dissappear eventually (although we've never seen this happen so there is that...) or mass will be trapped by black holes, which slowly dissappear via Hawking radiation. Hence the universe will eventually just become space-time and photons. And then with the loss of all mass, the universe becomes scale invariant as you say, which in Penrose's argument is identical to the conditions at start of the big bang. I am pretty sure it's not a big crunch at the end, because the universe does not collapse in size but can quite happily continue expanding till the end of the cycle. So something weird is happening at that point that seems to 'renormalise' space-time and particle size etc... At least that's my inexpert reading of it!

[@RolandPihlakas]

What I am wondering about in Penrose's theory, is how do the photons renormalise their locations of distances in such a case where the space between two points is not simply huge or expanding, but also in a case where space is expanding faster than the light. In case the space moves faster than photons. How can photons overcome that? Because even after infinite time the photons should not be able to overcome distances that rip faster than the photons.

[@X_Baron]

Penrose's model seems almost metaphysical but he must have some interesting arguments to support it. I wonder how the fading of the last remaining little gravitational effect can suddenly affect the whole universe.

If the conditions were right for our universe to be created once, that suggests it has or will happen again.

[@vakusdrake3224]

You seem to have a misunderstanding of Conformal Cyclical Cosmology, it doesn't posit a big crunch (and is actually incompatible with it).

Then it does some weird math I don't understand to show that a universe with nothing that experiences time is equivalent to and can be mapped onto the big bang.

[@matusmotlo3854]

Maybe because in a Universe without time, space practically doesn't exist either so it's identical to a singularity? I think I've heard that somewhere, not sure though.

[@qwadratix]

That was my conclusion too. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around Penrose's conformal theory but the takeaway I have is that the universe literally forgets how big it is because there's nothing left for it to make any measure of distance or time. I don't necessarily see this theory as viable - just that it doesn't sound to me the same as Anton's view. Penrose has a book out on the subject for anyone interested. 'Cycles of Time'.

Ive always thought the big bag was kind of like an hourglass, everything was absorbed by black holes and eventually they merged and became so large and condensed in one spot then exploded back out into space, everything is slowly collecting into planets and gas cloud etc but eventually everything will be absorbed by black holes again and it will repeat.

And if there is no time, there are no clocks, and if there are no clocks, distance has no meaning because there is no measurement. We are left with a very highly smooth and scale-less space with no meaningful size. Sounds a lot like the conditions of the big bang?

There are studies of the CMB that claim these rings have been observed.

The universe is a giant recylcing mechanism, it is beautifull and possibly eternal.

I thought perpetual motion wasnt possible? With that thought does the universe actually die?

@@thebrainless1 No. In this model it just has a chronic weight problem where it oscillates between fat and thin.

[@radaro.9682]

@@thebrainless1 can't destroy energy and the universe is a closed system. So the universe would, in that way, be a perpetual motion machine as it would be incapable of losing energy to anything. If it becomes waste heat that motion is still in the universe. If it condenses into matter it still exists and is accessible. So when taken as a whole there is no loss of motion.

You are very versatile. I really enjoy your videos and your perspective, so, thank you. I like to keep an open mind and really reach out there and your stuff really contributes to my thoughts. Awesome, thank you.

[@ortherner]

I thought, when a Universe dies, eventually a New Universe appears due to Vacuum Decay. And the Cycle repeats Forever through an Infinite Amount of time.

[@mk-3079]

maybe you just solved the mistrery of this reality and universe BUT we cant prove you are right or wrong so yeah you might be right

[@Stroheim333]

Yes, that's Penrose's theory, too. He do not believe in a Big Crunch, contrary to the statement in this video.

[@SpiriDussgaming]

the question is, how did the universe started existing? it cant just always exist. without a beggining.

[@hybridwafer]

@@SpiriDussgaming It can't? I wouldn't know.

[@thom1218]

@danutzy1993 It actually can... ask yourself: when did the number 3, or 5 (or any number) "begin"? Bad question, because they always existed, whether humans are around to talk about them or not. Matter & energy and the math (built on the foundations of numbers, keep in mind) that describe these systems also have no beginning, and have no end. The universe and all its constituents are a giant cyclic mathematical construct, and researchers have found a mathematical object called the "amplituhedron" (google it) that may actual represent all of reality as a time-independent entity (like a number) The real question is: how does the illusion of time manifest?

The last black hole phase of the universe is so terrifying. Good thing us humans won’t live long enough to endure it 👌

[@brucebooker8346]

Perhaps in a black hole, out a white hole somewhere else, and creation starts again?

[@-aa6991]

@@brucebooker8346 and maybe that white hole is exactly what a big bang actually is, all the collected matter from all the black holes being sent through time to start a new universe :V

[@rajanwarke9182]

I don't think so blackhole is not a wormhole the last black hole is like a planet which as Immeasurable mass thus immeasurable gravity which I think exploded to form our universe but if that's true then why we don't see any black hole explode now

[@UltimateFeudEnterprise]

We’re in a black hole

[@fleetingworlds8610]

I have a simple theory based off the black hole theory. I believe once there is nothing but black holes, they begin to eat each other until they are compressed into one singularity, then it erupts after reaching critical mass and explodes, in a incomprehensible type explosion that releases all the energy and matter swallowed from the whole universe in its most basic form, allowing for the rebuild to start over and the cycle to happen over and over.

[@tena2sweet]

So basically when these supergiant black holes die out they leave a scar. When the new universe forms you can see the scars in the background data. Did I get it right Anton? 😁

[@MrWatchingclosely]

That's what I thought too. Imagine the scale of those beasts to leave that kind of mark.

[@Panyc333]

I was thinking more of a callus than a scar but the scar makes more sense.

[@BigTadger]

Who says worm holes aren't those scars those are breaks cuts in the universe going through the universe rather than around

[@cristianm7097]

The Last Humans from the previous Universe modulated a message into those scars, for us to know there is hope and Life is Eternal.

@@cristianm7097 I like this. Maybe our consciousness connects to theirs and we meet after life.
