Summary

Join me for a very special discussion with Sir Roger Penrose, co-winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics. We will discuss Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, Black Holes, and of course, Nobel Prizes! GET OUR SLIDES: https://kingsumo.com/g/vn03wc/sir-roger-penrose-on-the-into-the-impossible-podcast-slides Sir Roger Penrose is co-winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics. We discuss Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, Black Holes, and of course, Nobel Prizes! Roger is a mensch. He always makes time for me and provided one of the first and most enthusiastic “blurbs” for my book, Losing the Nobel Prize. He has always been so generous with his time, even after winning the Nobel Prize when demands for his attention are relentless. You may also enjoy this video recorded at UC San Diego in late- 2018 “Hawking Points in the CMB Sky“, based loosely on his precursor book, “Cycles of Time: Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, Hawking Points in the CMB Sky“. Get Cycles of Time: https://amzn.to/2JCdKl7 Sir Roger Penrose and I will discuss his latest research including this article: Apparent evidence for Hawking points in the CMB Sky https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/495/3/3403/5838759?guestAccessKey=4dc2bb6c-c7f3-455a-b7ee-843d084f601f He will also share insights into the thinking of a modern day theoretical physicist. Is the Universe destined to collapse, ending in a big crunch or to expand indefinitely until it homogenizes in a heat death? Roger will explain a third alternative, the cosmological conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) scheme—where the Universe evolves through eons, each ending in the decay of mass and beginning again with new Big Bang.

0:00.0	Any Sufficient Invobbs Technology. Welcome to this episode, a very special episode of the Arthur C. Clark Center for Human
0:15.7	Imaginations into the Impossible Podcast featuring my friend and a collaborator, Sir Roger Penrose. Roger, welcome to you.
0:25.0	It's a great pleasure, thank you.
0:27.0	And has anything happened to you since the last time we spoke?
0:30.0	Any news in your life since the summer?
0:32.0	It was a little thing I heard a few weeks ago,
0:35.0	yes.
0:36.0	Yes, so first I want to wish you a hearty congratulations
0:40.0	for your receiving of the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics a half of a share of the
0:46.2	Nobel Prize and I do want to talk about that as we as we go live I do put out
0:52.1	slides for this that people can find in the YouTube
0:55.4	chat box so if people are interested in following along I will I will show some
1:00.3	slides along the way so I'll give you guys a couple of seconds to get to those
1:04.1	slides they're in the chat and in the comments and these are regarding the
1:09.0	subject of today is not going to be Sir Rogers Nobel Prize.
1:13.0	At first, we're going to talk a little bit about that
1:16.0	because I think people are curious about it.
1:18.0	But we're also going to talk about a wonderful book
1:20.0	that's made a huge impact on me and many other people and that's his book
1:25.0	Cycles of Time which came out in 2011 one of the one of the formative books of
1:31.6	the early part of the last decade that describes in some detail
1:37.2	Argers very curious and provocative conformal cyclic cosmology and to understand it I think it's helpful to have some
