How does a nonrecurring big bang assume gravity = GR? I haven't heard of g=GR to be honest, that is new to me. 2 Which certain conditions? How is assumption 1 challenged by quantum theories and how do quantum theories predict a bounce?

How does the age of the universe of the number and maturity of observed galaxies prove that the big bang only occurs once? Telling me to hunt through his papers isn't very helpful :-) So what your saying is that he assumes that the universal constants are the same from t=0 to now? Why...

What is the evidence for Hawking's statement here: "After giving a brief historical background on relativistic physics and cosmology, Hawking discussed the idea of a repeating Big Bang. He noted that in the 1980s, he and physicist Roger Penrose proved the universe could not “bounce” when it...
