Roger Penrose's cyclic universe theory, called Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), proposes the universe goes through infinite cycles, where the end of one "aeon" (a universe's lifespan) smoothly transitions into the Big Bang of the next.

Hindu Cosmology: When Science Catches Up With Sanatan Dharma Hindu cosmology, one of the world’s oldest and most profound philosophical systems, presents astonishing parallels with modern science. Multiverse Concept Ancient Hindu scriptures speak of countless universes called Brahmandas, each enclosed within its own cosmic shell. This is exactly what modern science now calls the multiverse the idea that our universe is just one among many. Cyclic Time Hindus never believed in a linear timeline. Time is cyclical with creations, dissolutions, and recreations happening over yugas (epochs). Modern cosmology now explores similar theories of cyclical models of the universe. Thousands of years ago, our Rishis had already seen what science is barely beginning to glimpse.

The Vedas, among the oldest sacred texts of humanity, contain profound insights into cosmic science expressed through symbolic and philosophical language. They explore the origin and nature of the universe, notably in hymns like the Nasadiya Sukta, which questions the creation of existence in a way that echoes modern cosmological inquiry. The concept of Hiranyagarbha, or the “golden womb,” describes the universe emerging from a cosmic egg, resembling the Big Bang theory. The Vedic idea of Panchabhutas five fundamental elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space) offers an early model of matter and energy. Vedic cosmology also presents a cyclical view of time, with vast epochs called Yugas and Kalpas spanning millions of years, comparable to modern cyclic universe theories. Remarkably, a 14th-century Vedic commentator, Sayana, calculated the speed of light with surprising accuracy based on ancient verses. The Vedas also describe Rita, the universal order or law, a principle akin to the natural laws of physics. Moreover, they propose a multiverse concept with countless universes, each governed by its own creator, aligning with contemporary multiverse theories. Early Vedic astronomy, found in the Jyotisha Vedanga, includes observations of celestial bodies and eclipses, showing a sophisticated understanding of the cosmos for its time.

Beyond 5000 Hinduism is the only one of the world’s great religions dedicated to the idea that the cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles range from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long, longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time elapsed since the Big Bang. There are still much longer time scales beyond that. Carl Sagan, Cosmos, Episode 10, “The Edge of Forever” 8.64 billion years refers to one full day and night of Brahma (kalpa + pralaya). The astonishing alignment between ancient Hindu cosmological timescales and modern astrophysics. This is why Sagan frequently cited Hindu cosmology as uniquely compatible with scientific ideas of cyclic universes.

Joe Rogan says the resurrection of Jesus Christ is more believable than the logic behind the Big Bang theory. Rogan began asking rhetorical questions about the universe before quoting author Terence McKenna. "The difference between science and religion is that science only asks you to believe in one miracle - the Big Bang." "People would be incredulous about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, yet they're convinced that the entire universe was smaller than the head of a pin and then for no reason ... instantaneously became everything." "I'm sticking with Jesus on that one. Jesus makes more sense."

Janna Levin — Claire Tow Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Barnard College, founding Director of Sciences at Pioneer Works, and co-host of Quanta's The Joy of Why — is one of those guests who makes you feel the universe is stranger than you feared. Working with Brian Greene, she's exploring whether the shape of hidden dimensions, specifically a Klein bottle, could explain why matter won the war against antimatter after the Big Bang — no fudged parameters required. The geometry does the work. The universe's lopsidedness isn't a mystery to be plugged in; it's a consequence of the space we're sewn into.

Long before science imagined the idea of multiple universes, ancient India already spoke of it through the story of Vishnu and the cosmic lotus. In this vision, Vishnu lies in the Kshira Sagara, the cosmic ocean of existence. From his navel grows a lotus, and upon that lotus sits Brahma, the creator of one universe. When Brahma opens his eyes, that universe begins; when he closes them, it ends. But Vishnu doesn’t dream just one universe. Ancient texts describe countless lotuses, each with its own Brahma, each a different cosmos, all floating in the infinite ocean; a stunning reflection of what we now call the multiverse.

The Formation and Evolution of Galaxies 🌌 All matter in the Universe was created approximately 13.8 billion years ago during the Big Bang💥 Initially, all matter was compressed into a very small ball of infinite density and immense temperature, called a singularity. Suddenly, the singularity began to expand. This is how the Universe began. After rapid expansion and cooling, all matter was almost uniformly distributed. Over the course of several billion years, denser regions of the Universe began to gravitationally attract each other. This caused them to become denser, forming gas clouds and large clumps of matter. Clouds of hydrogen gas within protogalaxies underwent gravitational collapse to become the first stars. Most of these early objects were tiny dwarf galaxies, but some took on the familiar spiral shape, similar to the Milky Way.

– #ENTROPY – Mew : The theme of this song is space. It tells the story of ENTROPY, one of the fundamental concepts in thermodynamics. There is a theory called "Heat Death (of the Universe)", which is the idea that all heat energy in the universe eventually fades away, meaning that the universe ultimately reaches its end. Mew : 😂 It feels like a physics class right now. Put simply, if we know that the universe will come to an end one day, would we still choose to maintain our relationships with the people beside us, knowing that everything will eventually come to an end anyway? Mew : The meaning is very deep and far-reaching. I'd like everyone to stay tuned and see how it's conveyed through the song. Mew : I both wrote and composed the song myself. 🗣️: What part of the universe were you in when you wrote these lyrics? Mew : I felt drawn to the idea that every relationship eventually reaches an end, no matter what kind of relationship it is. Whether it's parting ways or finally being separated by death, it's still an ending. But if we already know that ending is coming, what will our relationship be like from now until that moment arrives? I wanted the concept of "the end" to feel incredibly vast, so I thought of the universe. Then I looked into theories about the collapse of the universe and incorporated those ideas into this song. 🗣️: Was it difficult? Even hearing the concept makes me feel like I need to take notes. Mew : I feel like this is really about life. It's about parting ways. I wanted to interpret separation in a way that creates a clear image, both in terms of relationships and within a space theme. I’d like everyone to give it a listen.

Joe Rogan on Fractal Universe Theory: "The whole universe could be just cells inside a being. Under a microscope they look identical. 😱 He told Chase Hughes his theory on the mind bending fractal nature of reality: "The Universe is structured like a neural network, with galaxies mirroring DNA strands and nebulae resembling eyeballs." Our cosmos isn't just vast. it's self-similar neural tissue. The intricate web of galaxies and filaments looks indistinguishable from brain cell connections, suggesting infinite nested universes where black holes birth new realities inside brain cells and cosmic structures alike. As one perspective puts it, entire universes unfold within black holes in a recursive fractal pattern, much like thoughts firing in neural tissue. "The universe is like one giant brain... there’s a tiny universe in each of our brains." This echoes the ancient "As Above, So Below" - patterns repeating across every scale, from nebula eyeball visuals to galaxy DNA spirals. Mind blowing evidence from astrophysics and neuroscience shows the same organizational principles at work in the cosmic web and our own minds. What if consciousness itself reflects this infinite nesting? A reminder that we're not separate from the Universe. We are its living fractal expression.

In 1927, Georges Lemaître derived a solution to Einstein’s field equations that shifted the paradigm of modern cosmology. While General Relativity described a curved fabric of space-time, Lemaître’s mathematics indicated that this fabric was not static but actively stretching. ​Professor Brian Cox explains that Lemaître was the first to recognize this expansion within the equations. By mentally reversing this process over billions of years, Lemaître deduced that the universe originated from a single, infinitesimal point. This "day without a yesterday" represents the birth of the Big Bang theory. Lemaître’s work proved that scientific inquiry and philosophical depth are dual paths toward understanding the truth of our cosmic origins. Credit: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert / Brian Cox
