Let me know if it's worth iPlayering.

Depends on your background knowledge. Nothing new here to me, but I'm a bit of a nerd on this stuff. Alternatives to the BB and some related cosmology. Well made though!

(watching and posting!)

Edit: a nice concept which I have farted about with in my own minuscule way discussed. The universe at the end of its life becomes a massive sea of photons. No other 'information' is within that cloud, no time, no laws of physics etc. and it could just as easily be tiny as massive. It decides, as it were, it is tiny and becomes the next BB.

Sounds like Penrose.

I'll do the Iplayer thing.
