Nobel Prize winner Sir Robert Penrose defends his "conformal cyclic cosmology" theory with the discovery of radiation believed to be from universes past.

Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) was put forward by one of Roger Penrose and his colleagues in 2005 as a possible theoretical scheme that could account for the strange imbalance between the apparently ...

Penrose proposed a counter-concept of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) by which Inflation is moved to before the Big Bang and which introduces the idea of preceding aeons. There were universes before ...

Maybe we can extend that conformal structure to before the Big Bang. In fact, we could imagine a conformal cyclic cosmology, matching the smooth far future onto the smooth early past. We can even ...

Experimental evidence? Conformal cyclic cosmology offers some detailed, albeit speculative, answers to the question of where our Big Bang came from.

As reported by New Scientist, the idea is based around something called conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC). This is the theory that our universe goes through constant cycles of Big Bangs and ...

Correlated noise in the two LIGO gravitational-wave detectors may provide evidence that the universe is governed by conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC). That is the claim of Roger Penrose of the ...

Roger Penrose’s Conformal Cyclic Cosmology is a radical attempt to provide a comprehensive alternative to cosmology’s standard story where our universe, or aeon, is one of many in a successive chain ...

In Penrose and similarly-inclined physicists' history of space and time (which they call conformal cyclic cosmology, or CCC), universes bubble up, expand and die in sequence, with black holes from ...

Though seemingly problematic for cosmic inflation, the existence of such anomalous points is an implication of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC), as what could be the Hawking points of the theory ...

The discovery of a second ultra-large structure in the remote universe has further challenged some of the basic assumptions about cosmology.
