Roger Penrose, Oxford University and one of the most brilliant physicists now believe to have detected "glimpses" of the existence of another universe . One that existed before the Big Bang.
In an article just published in ArXiv.org, Penrose explains that he has reached that remarkable conclusion after analyzing in the WMAP data, some circular patterns that appear in the cosmic microwave background and suggesting, more or less, that space and time did not begin to exist in the Big Bang, but our universe exists in a continuous cycle of "bounces" he calls "eons" . According to Penrose, which currently perceive as our universe is but one of these eons. There were others before the Big Bang and will be others later.
The physicist says it has found evidence to support what he says. And that these tests are in the cosmic microwave background, the distant echoes of the Big Bang itself, a sort of afterglow of that great explosion that is detectable, today, anywhere in the universe.
If Penrose is right, will completely change the way we perceive the universe in which we live, its birth and its final destination.
