Roger's Argument:
• The Big Bang theory is mistaken – there have been many universes and will be many more
• Universes progress in sequence and only ever one at any time.
• Evidence in the Cosmic Microwave Background support his theory (correlated circles present, rather than the uniform distribution that the standard model of cosmology produces)
• Entropy is key. Whilst entropy tends to increase, black holes destroy information/entropy. In the distant future of the universe the entropy is reduced back down to zero as black holes have destroyed all entropy
• Our universe began after the previous low entropy aeon (universe) transformed into our current one – this explains why there was low entropy at the start of the universe
• Inflation didn’t happen after ‘The Big Bang’ (i.e. the start of our universe)
