Part 4/9:
Throughout the discussion, it becomes evident that Penrose believes we must reassess our understanding of these theories. He emphasizes that while many physicists seek to quantize gravity—embedding gravitational theory within quantum frameworks—this approach does not address the fundamental flaws inherent in quantum mechanics.
Conformal Cyclic Cosmology
An audacious proposal by Penrose is his notion of conformal cyclic cosmology, which posits that the universe undergoes a series of cycles. Each universe evolves from the previous one, invariably leading to a repeated cosmic birth in forms that yield a cyclical model of time. Penrose adamantly refutes the popular concept of inflation, arguing it inadequately addresses the nature of singularities and the unification of cosmic events.
