Known as the owner of one of the smartest minds in the history of scienceStephen Hawking Leave a deep mark in the world. The Englishman, who died in 2018, was praised for his contributions to the theory of general relativity and the study of black holes.
But what was The ultimate genius theory?
This is what Thomas Hertog, a Belgian cosmologist at KU Leuven, said in an interview with AFP. The context is the publication of the book “The Origin of Time,” which came out this year.
The “origin of time” has raised skepticism in the scientific community, due to the fact that Hertog presents it as Stephen Hawking’s final theory.
Hertog himself points this out “It is impossible to distinguish which parts of the final theory are Hawking’s and which are mine.”
Stephen Hawking’s ultimate theory, according to his former collaborator Thomas Hertog
Hertog, 48, has worked with Stephen Hawking for more than two decades. “There was something that fit between us,” He said, about the first time they saw each other.
The center of Stephen Hawking’s theory refers to the first moments after the Big Bang, the explosion that gave rise to our universe. But for the English language, according to Hertog, The laws of physics evolved as the universe evolved after the Big Bang.
What we’re proposing is that (biology and physics) Two levels of a great evolutionary process, says the Belgian scientist. It would be something similar to what Charles Darwin taught in On the Origin of Species, where physics takes over the role of biology and goes hand in hand with time.
If we go back in time, The laws of physics begin to simplify and disappear. In the end, the dimension of time evaporates,” says the Belgian.
Hertog acknowledges that the theory is difficult to prove, because the early years of the universe are “Hidden in the fog left by the Big Bang”.
