Hi TOK Folks,

  I have been trailing Roger Penrose's work lately and found this 20 min description fascinating, because it captures my intuition about the nature of the universe.

  My intuition has always been that the universe emerges out of an energy singularity from another dimension. For example, our universe is akin to a black hole in another universe on the "other side" of our singularity. When I learned of dark energy, I wondered if it might be a field around our universe that it is expanding into that will "circle back around" into a collapse back into a singularity. Here is Penrose giving a talk a couple of days ago that basically narrates this idea. That is cool. What he is missing from my theory is that it is "dark energy" that will "collect" the dispersed radiation and collapse it back into the singularity that starts the next phase in the universe anew.

  The idea is that once in a singularity state, a remarkable "stochastic event" happens, whereby the photonic-gluonic pure energy/radiation plasma encounters a symmetry breaking phase shift, which starts a chain reaction that turns energy into matter. (Note, the symmetry breaking has to do with spin and the fact that a substantial set of bosons (i.e., gluons and photons) are knocked into a different ½ spin vector which turns them into fermions with follow the Pauli Exclusion principle).  This, BTW, does account for Penrose's concern about the homogeneity of the early universe and the problem he scratches his head over regarding the second law and the issue of entropy.

Best,
Gregg
