Uh, Penrose got his Nobel Prize for his theorem that singularities are a prediction of General Relativity.  Cyclic cosmology is a side hobby.

No, it's serious work on the part of Dr. Penrose:

Oh, I'm a fan of Penrose.  "The Road to Reality" is him definitely not talking down to you.  But sometimes he's given to woo.   Conformal Cyclic Cosmology is one example, for the reason I stated above.  He also thinks consciousness has to do with quantum pure states that are somehow maintained within warm sloppy cellular cytoplasm when the likes of Google can barely make their supercooled quantum computers factor the number 21.   And he holds to an objective wavefunction collapse theory that should have yielded confirmation by now (we've put pieces of dust with millions of atoms into superposition).
