    Einstein abandoned the static universe theory when we confirmed expansion. Time is absolutely not constant but it is unidirectional according to Einstein himself after the Hubble Telescope verified that everything everywhere is expanding. The radius of the universe depends on time.

      If I showed you a 1 second video of an apple falling from a tree, would you say the apple would continue to fall forever? After all, the only evidence you have is the apple falling.

      Penrose, (who again was the one to finish up and prove a lot of Einstein 's work btw) believes we’re just looking at a very tiny piece of the puzzle. And Big Bangs are cyclical.

      Personally I think it’s more like fireworks going off in the sky all over than one single repeating big bang.

      But Penrose literally just won a Novel a few years ago. He’s literally the person most qualified to talk about this. And he’s been doing it for decades. Right after he finished up Einsteins work.

      What you’re doing is like insisting the sun orbits Earth because that’s what accepted.

      Penrose is literally bleeding edge physics. Just because he hasn’t convinced everyone he’s right yet, doesn’t mean he’s wrong. Science moves pretty fucking slow, someone next generation will.probably price Penrose right, just like Einstein wasn’t proven right until Penrose and Hawking showed up to do it while working together.

      It’s literally how science works man…
