Roger Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) theorizes that the universe undergoes endless cycles of births and deaths. He proposes that the Big Bang represents the conclusion of a previous aeon, which transitions from a cold, empty state back into a new aeon. According to this perspective, consciousness could be intrinsically linked to the structure of space-time rather than merely a biological phenomenon. The theory raises profound implications, suggesting that consciousness may be a recurring and inevitable aspect of the universe across its aeons.
Penrose's theory imagines that the nature of time, the universe, and consciousness is perpetually cyclical. It might mean that our universe represents just one period in a never-ending chain of cosmic 'aeons.'
Penrose proposes that the Big Bang is not the beginning, but the end of a previous aeon, suggesting there may be no true beginning to the universe.
Consciousness may not just be a biological product, but rather built into the fabric of space-time itself, suggesting a deeper, cosmic significance.
Each cosmic aeon could evolve minds, indicating that the emergence of consciousness might be inevitable in the cyclical structure of the universe.
