Were There Multiple Big Bangs?

When it comes to how the universe started, science holds that the universe began in what's known as the Big Bang. ... He believes that there have been multiple Big Bangs and that more will happen. Penrose points to black holes as holding clues to the existence of previous universes.

How many big bangs have happened?

The evolution of the universe is cyclic with big bangs occurring once every trillion or so, each one accompanied by the creation of new matter and radiation that forms new galaxies, stars, planets, and presumably life. Ours is only the most recent cycle.

How many years do big bangs occur?

Dr Steve Curran, from the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, answers: That's an easy oneβ€”13.7 billion years ago. The universe is expanding, so all the galaxies are moving apart from each other, and if you extrapolate this backwards they all meet at a point 13.7 billion years ago.
