This excerpt from Roger Penrose's Cycles of Time delves into the nature of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and its implications for cosmology. Penrose challenges the conventional view that the universe began in an extraordinarily low-entropy state and argues that entropy must be continually increasing throughout the universe's existence. To support his claim, he introduces the concept of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC), which proposes that the universe goes through a series of endless cycles, with each cycle beginning with a Big Bang and ending with a Big Crunch, and where the Big Crunch of one cycle smoothly connects to the Big Bang of the next. Penrose argues that CCC provides a more satisfying explanation for the Second Law and addresses puzzles surrounding the nature of singularities and the role of quantum gravity. He further suggests that dark matter and dark energy play crucial roles in CCC.
