Professor Roger Penrose says that cosmic radiation discovered by one of NASA's telescopes is older than the Big Bang.
The researcher shows that the cosmic radiation background (CMB) formed in concentric circles that had cooled to a temperature of -270C over the 14 billion years since the universe came into being.
Prof Penrose and his colleague Professor Vahe Gurzadyan of the Yerevan State University in Armenia claim to have 12 examples of the circles, some of which have five rings - meaning that the objects had five massive events in their history. The rings appear around clusters of galaxy where the background radiation is incredibly low.
The scientists believe the circles are imprints of violent gravitational forces generated by black holes that existed long before the Big Bang.
A Penrose tiling is a non-periodic tiling generated by an aperiodic set of prototiles. Penrose tilings are named after mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose who investigated these sets in the 1970s. The aperiodicity of the Penrose prototiles implies that a shifted copy of a Penrose tiling will never match the original. A Penrose tiling may be constructed so as to exhibit both reflection symmetry and fivefold rotational symmetry, as in the diagram at the right.
In 1967, Penrose invented the twistor theory which maps geometric objects in Minkowski space into the 4-dimensional complex space with the metric signature (2,2). In 1969, he conjectured the cosmic censorship hypothesis. This proposes (rather informally) that the universe protects us from the inherent unpredictability of singularities (such as the one in the centre of a black hole) by hiding them from our view behind an event horizon. This form is now known as the "weak censorship hypothesis"; in 1979, Penrose formulated a stronger version called the "strong censorship hypothesis". Together with the BKL conjecture and issues of nonlinear stability, settling the censorship conjectures is one of the most important outstanding problems in general relativity.
Threefold precedes fourfold, and both precede their conjunction in the twelvefold realm of physical matter. Applied to the ontology of human existence, experience precedes mind, and both precede sense data.*
*This statement seems both to confirm and deny Hume, who said that sense experience preceded mind. Our position is that experience is essentially internal and a priori, i.e., pleasure and pain are induced, not produced by external events. And it is only after mind has constructed itself (by integrating experience, i.e., association of pain or pleasure with specific objects) that sensation, in the sense of information from the outer world, becomes possible.
Recent examinations of WMAP data has uncovered systematic errors.
Scan-induced anisotropy is a common problem for all sweep missions and like the foreground emissions, should be removed from final maps.
After corrections all that remains is a nearly featureless surface and hence much less information than originally published.

WHAT if there was an entire universe that existed before the Big Bang?.
The beforeitsnews story was stolen from newscorp
The newscorp story was taken from the daily mail
The Daily Mail story was taken from the daily galaxy
The daily galaxy story refers to the story at physics world and Penrose's paper at arxiv.org, both of which are from 2010.
So whats happened?
Slow news day at the Daily Galaxy, and they've put up a "picture of the day" from 2 years ago, and the other stupid news organisations have jumped on it as if it was todays news.
It isnt.

First, there was nothing , then a big bang, and everything was created.

Just a thought.
