The next life

[Jimmy]

Universe always was? Cyclic life supporting solar systems a googolplex time apart? Seems sloppy to me. Non efficient. Grandiose in scale.

Cyclic creation/destruction of our life inhabiting world in a brief time. Ah…. Now somethings fitting.

From the Hindu (vedic) point of view I accept, Brahma's life is 311 trillion years spanning multiple universes in the time "he's" awake (1/2 of that time).

I guess God needs something to do with all that time.
Seems rather pointless however.
Maybe this is the time when he is asleep and we are part of his dreams.

No.

Even hard line cyclic univers proponents like Dr Penrose recently changed his mind. He no longer considered the cyclic universe visible... He though it liberating to ditch the old outmoded cyclic universe in favour of string theory ideas on how the universe began.

However he now has changed his mind again and believes a slight change to string theory will support a "conformal cyclic cosmology"
