Penrose's latest ideas suggest an eternally expanding, repeatedly "Big Banging" Universe, where the heat-death approaching end-state actually creates the conditions for the next generation Big Bang... a bit like the old cyclical universe but without any big crunch.
I thought something very much the same (in my stumbling provisional way)several years ago when I first read about the expansion of space.
I thought that once there is sufficient lack of energy and matter around the time of heat death the force of expansion would get to a critical point and there was another big bang.
But my thinking was space got too thin and ripped (or something like that) so I can't really imagine it works like that: seemed to make sense to me at the time, though.
ABE: I've just read some of your link and it seems to say that low variance of temperature regions from supermassive black holes in the past aeon are detectable.
Does this mean information can 'cross over' the big bang point from one aeon to the next?
