Among these, Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), proposed by Roger Penrose, suggests that the universe may undergo infinite cycles, where death is both an endpoint and a starting point. Penrose, along with Stephen Hawking, demonstrated that the formation of black holes is an inevitable consequence of general relativity. Recent discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope have further supported the validity of these theories. Penrose was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:15px;">?</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:15px;">The first draft of this poem was written on March 14, 2018, the day of Hawking's passing.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:15px;">?</span></p>
