…Multiple Big Bangs – Nobel Prize Winner Roger Penrose Says "Nobel Prize winner in physics Sir Roger Penrose has put forward a fascinating theory, suggesting another Universe existed before this one and we can still observe parts of it! If Professor Sir Roger Penrose, a mathematician and physicist from the University of Oxford, is correct it would mean there were multiple Big Bangs and the universe goes through cycles of death and rebirth…" Main page link Amicalement

Ecclesiastes 1:9
The Bible confirms alt-Big Bang theory. For those who gag at Biblical references, read Poul Anderson's magnificent Tau Zero. |

John, really? Taken a bit out of context, don't you think? |

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy |

@skipper John.
Nope. Not at all. An educated person should have the King James Bible and Shakespeare at his fingertips.
Not to mention Merle Haggard and Motown. |

I don't doubt a universe(s) existed before this one. And many more exist now … Probably will never know … |

John, really? Taken a bit out of context, don't you think With the OFM, that statement in Ecclesiastes is a broad, generalized statement saying that "new" is an artifact of your perception, but not an artifact of how things are. This is exactly the context of the statement. The "new" in "new scientific discovery" modifies "discovery". We are discovering knowledge that is new to us. The phenomenology itself has been around for billions of years. |

Science is a discovery WIP and progress is slow. Hardly any theories are ever proven into Laws but it is still progress. Scientists need to make a living so they continually need to come up with new theories for publication. Wolfhag |

In addition to Douglas Adams, I suggest delving into Robert Anton Wilson's writings, both his fiction & his scientific speculations. |
