In response, Clark and Brent claimed it could've began as infinite. Isn't there a theorem, which might have been proven by Penrose, that the contracting universe Only the observable universe, if I recall correctly. Applying the Penrose-Hawking Singularity Theorem, running the clock backward implies the universe doesn't converge to a point of zero volume, but to a BH, and that's the whole universe, not just the observable universe.
