Does this picture show the 'ghost' of a universe that existed before big bang

A renowned scientist says he has spotted evidence that a universe existed before the Big Bang.

Professor Roger Penrose from Oxford University says concentric circles discovered in the background microwaves of the universe provides evidence of events that took place before the universe came into being.

The cosmic microwave offers us a ghostly look at the the universe just 300,000 years after the Big Ban' - a microscopic amount of time compared to the universe's estimated age of 13.7billion year

Hi. If that was a response to me then I said it because I thought the evidence at the moment suggests that the universe is expanding and expanding faster all the time, which would indicate that there will not be a collapse. Its going to be a bit of a squeeze for us all if it does though

Nope sorry, it was a response to the OP.

Normally I would use the quote function if I was drawing a point to a particular post.

Except in this case where I using the reply to function.

Not to waste the post though......

There is no proof of anything anyway, it is all speculation. Theory and observation.

Even if there was an anouncement to say that universe is exactly the way a scientist says it is does that make it right? Does it make it real?

It makes perfect sense! I can't believe I never considered that theory before. Star & flag for expanding my knowledge!

Your welcome. There are actually different universe theories that you would love to read about:

en.wikipedia.org...

en.wikipedia.org...

For instance our universe could be one of billions of different universes and they could all be cyclical as well.

Fairly old news - the theory published in november 2010 - even that Daily Mail published it back then - so I don't know why they are recycling it 18 months later??

There have been a number of interesting articles published on the theory since - wired science

I guess he got my email.

We were considering the possibility that when a black hole collapses, it might go back in time, right up to the inflationary boundary. And since they are reasonably spread out in the universe, this might account for the sheet like or raisin bread-like nature of our universe.

You see the arrow of time is outward in the direction of the expansion of the universe, and when a black hole collapses it is going in the opposite direction because it has too much mass/gravity to continue to expand on the same plane as the rest of the normal universe. So then what might happen is a heavy stable element may form in the center, and that element might be too heavy to be maintained in its normal time frame and so would continue to fall back in time until such time as it met up with pressure great enough to vaporize it.

Hence the rings, hence the life cycle of stars and galaxies. Its just early speculation at this point but reasonable to consider.
