Cycles of Time

Book • 2010
In 'Cycles of Time', Roger Penrose introduces his Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) model, which suggests that the universe undergoes cycles of expansion and contraction, with each cycle ending in a state that becomes the Big Bang for the next cycle.

Penrose explores the implications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the role of black holes in this process.

The book offers a unique view on the origins and future of the universe, challenging conventional Big Bang theories.
