Cosmic Rebirth  

Most cosmologists trace the birth of the universe to the Big Bang 13.7
billion years ago. But a new analysis of the relic radiation generated
by that explosive event suggests the universe got its start eons earlier
and has cycled through myriad episodes of birth and death, with the Big
Bang merely the most recent in a series of starting guns.

That startling notion, proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose
of 
the University of Oxford in England and Vahe Gurzadyan of the Yerevan 
Physics Institute and Yerevan State University in Armenia, goes against
the 
standard theory of cosmology known as inflation.

The researchers base their findings on circular patterns they discovered 
in the cosmic microwave background, the ubiquitous microwave glow left
over 
from the Big Bang. The circular features indicate that the cosmos itself
circles through epochs of endings and beginnings, Penrose and Gurzadyan 
assert. The researchers describe their controversial findings in an
article 
posted at arXiv.org on November 17.
