Abstract

Within the scheme of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC), information can be transmitted from aeon to aeon. Accordingly, the "Fermi paradox" and the SETI programme - of communication by remote civilizations - may be examined from a novel perspective: such information could, in principle, be encoded in the cosmic microwave background. The current empirical status of CCC is also discussed.

    • Yes, see the "CCC and the Fermi Paradox" paper [1] by Gurzadyan and Penrose himself talking about exactly that. You can also look into "Information Panspermia" [2]. Relevant bits: > "From our own limited and relatively extremely primitive perspective, much more promising would…
