Description
I will present the idea that the big bang is a type of mirror -- in particular a "CPT mirror". I will review the evidence for this idea, its explanatory power, and its predictions. Recently, we have come to think this idea is closely tied to the asymptotic safety idea, and I will present a new result to this effect (in collaboration with Neil Turok and Vatsalya Vaibhav -- to appear soon).
