    hello
In summary, Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) is a theory proposed by physicist Roger Penrose that suggests the universe undergoes an endless cycle of expansion and contraction. This theory challenges the traditional idea of a single Big Bang followed by infinite expansion, and instead proposes that the universe goes through a series of "aeons" where each one begins with a new Big Bang and ends with a Big Crunch. CCC also introduces the concept of a "conformal infinity" where the universe appears infinite but is actually a repeating pattern. This theory has sparked debate and further research in the field of cosmology and has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

How did you find PF?
By Accident ! It popped up when I was looking for articles on Conformal Cyclic Cosmology
Hi All,
Rufus here from the UK.
Dud my PhD in Relativity Theory and interested in all things physics.
Currently Penroses Conformal Cyclic Cosmology is favour of the month, and likely to remain there for a very long time.
Also like astronomy and radio communications.
I look forward to some interesting discussions.
