Agressively? We increased CO2 concentration by about 200 parts-per-million (a factor of about 2x), and increased the average temperature by about 1-2°C. Rain patterns are slightly different. Ocean PH levels dropped by about 0.04 . Sure, giv

Mostly its controversial simply because the evidence for it is week. You need to perform a complicated analysis of the CMB, to find some statistical artifacts that are consistent with your theory, and not any other theory. This is incredibl

Penrose's theory of conformal cyclic cosmology is distinct from the big bounce theory. In the big bounce theory, the universe reaches a point where expansion slows down and eventually reverses into contraction. Then, eventually the uni

That isn't entirely true. As the article discusses, under the proposed conformal cyclic cosmology, gravitational waves would leave a lasting effect visible between aeons. This effect would be visible in the CMB, and some researchers (i

The more likely outcome is an increase in actively managed funds. Individuals will still contribute their money into the fund just like with index investing. However, instead of simply tracking an index, the fund would have a (team of) prof

Answering that properly would require a theory of quantum gravity. However, the answer is plausibly never. Such an evaporation would be a form of electron decay. Under the current understanding of particle physics, electron decay is impossi
