Are We Seeing Hawking Points in the Microwave Sky?

Event Start:
2019-04-10T19:30:00
Event End:
2019-04-10T21:00:00
Event Information:

A dedicated analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), as revealed by both the WMAP and Planck satellites, has discovered numerous previously unobserved highly energetic anomalous 'spots' in the CMB. Such spots are implications of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC), which proposes that our Big Bang was the (conformal) continuation of a previous cosmic "aeon", wherein these anomalous spots would be the result of the conformally compressed Hawking radiation from supermassive black holes in that previous aeon.

Speaker:
