15 Superstring theory “branes” The New Cyclic Universe

16 V Y Y Superstring theory Field theory “branes” The New Cyclic Universe

17 Consensus (big bang + inflation) big bang inflation radiation matter dark energy ?? ??? Cyclic PJS & Neil Turok “bang” radiation matter dark energy “contraction” “crunch” the “bounce”

18 Consensus (big bang + inflation) big bang inflation radiation matter dark energy ?? ??? Cyclic PJS & Neil Turok “bang” radiation matter dark energy “contraction” “crunch” the “bounce” Reproduces successful predictions

19 Consensus (big bang + inflation) big bang inflation radiation matter dark energy ?? ??? Cyclic PJS & Neil Turok “bang” radiation matter dark energy “contraction” “crunch” the “bounce” Fewer ingredients: no need for inflation

20 Consensus (big bang + inflation) big bang inflation radiation matter dark energy ?? ??? Cyclic PJS & Neil Turok “bang” radiation matter dark energy “contraction” “crunch” the “bounce” Dark energy given a purpose

21 Consensus (big bang + inflation) big bang inflation radiation matter dark energy ?? ??? Cyclic PJS & Neil Turok “bang” radiation matter dark energy “contraction” “crunch” the “bounce” Avoids infinities (?)

22 Consensus (big bang + inflation) big bang inflation radiation matter dark energy ?? ??? Cyclic PJS & Neil Turok “bang” radiation matter dark energy “contraction” “crunch” the “bounce” More complete theory of cosmic history

23 Consensus (big bang + inflation) big bang inflation radiation matter dark energy ?? ??? Cyclic PJS & Neil Turok “bang” radiation matter dark energy “contraction” “crunch” the “bounce” Empirically distinguishable: e.g., gravitational waves

24 E-modes (energy fluctuations) B-modes (gravitational waves)

25 CAPMAPCAPMAP the Cosmic Anisotropy Polarization MAPper MAPper DASI, WMAP, Boomerang …. Planck, …. CMBPOL

26 FAQs: feynman.princeton.edu/~steinh/ Violates conservation of energy?Tolman problems?What happens at the bounce?
