This blew my mind:

Yeah, I saw that last week thinking it was a rhetorical question with the answer "probably not", but it's surprisingly compelling. I'm still trying to reconcile it with Roger Penrose's concept (and tbh I'd take the word of Penrose over Tyson every single time) that a universe in a heat-death state is essentially indistinguishable from a singularity, and so that is how the cycle of a universe happens. I'm not sure I understand it at all, really, but it feels like an idea that is not entirely incompatible with the black hole hypothesis.

I become fascinated with cutting-edge theoretical physics and then reach a point where I need a lie down, usually when it transitions from high-level concepts to actual physics.


EDIT - He talks about it between about 23m to 30m in this, including a nice bit about an Escher painting. It's incredible that he's this sharp at 93 years old.
