The article we&amp;#x27;re discussing itself even links to one such paper [0]. All of the others she mentions are also published works - Penrose&amp;#x27;s CCC [1], the ekpyrotic universe [2], Hawking&amp;#x27;s no-boundary state [3] etc. &amp;gt; On the other hand, if you are working on theories that can extend into the early universe, it’s not unimportant to try and figure out where the model breaks down. Maybe t=0 isn’t possible, but t=1s? 1ns? 1ps? How much can we feasibly describe?

But it proposes a really interesting question. What happens at the heat death of the universe? If it ends up as a bunch of black holes slowly evaporating from Hawking radiation you&amp;#x27;re left with just photons and gravitons. And then if that is what happen, did it happen before the big bang and so could we see evidence of it in the cosmic background radiation. (Sort of a peek at the initial conditions for a very complex differential equation). The result through a bit of hand waving seems to be perhaps. Clearly more…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1808.01740/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
