Roger Penrose and his book out yet?
Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy.
Fashion is the String Theory. It is fashionable but he prefers Twister theory.
Faith is the standard view of Quantum Mechanics because it is based on faith. It only works when the universe is real small and dense, and matter can't move around. (particles can pulse and fluctuate) But problems start when you try to move matter around, especially massive matter. He says it falls apart. (My guess is that particles move from universe to universe when the universe is densely packed, but the larger things get causes an entire universe to duplicate and not just individual particles. An "Alternate Universe" is something I have always understood as a duplicate universe. A "Multiple Universe" is another universe but an "original universe" as oppose to an Alternate Universe. All Alternate Universes are part of a "multiple universe" (?) but not all multiple universes are alternate universes. That's been my view since 1991-1992 anyway)
The Fantasy part is what he calls the early hyper Inflation view of the (period just after) Big Bang. He rejects the early hyper Inflation (in the first second of the Universe) and the multi-verse that results as part of it. He believes in one universe turning into another on and on and on , but seems to reject a multi-verse existing at the same "time". One is destroyed and then chronologically becomes a new one.
His book will broadly have 3 big topics where he takes a minority view on all.
I look forward to it.
Hope it finally comes out.

The book is out lol.
Google
I need to start checking these things before posting.
I honestly thought he had given up on the book as he has ben talking about this one for ages.
He is so interesting. In 1989 he said that visitors from another galaxy would get here and see us doing things before we actually did things. Um, really. Back To The Future (movie), Quantum Leap (t.v. series), and Roger Penrose were the holy trinity of thought provokingness.
Hope it encourages discussion and the contrasting views in the debate can help clear the picture enough so that average people, like me, can begin to understand a little.
