    Default A Brief History of Time is ‘wrong’, Stephen Hawking told collaborator

    Thomas Hertog worked with cosmologist on a new book after he shared his doubts about A Brief History of Time

    According to Hertog, the new perspective that he has achieved with Hawking reverses the hierarchy between laws and reality in physics and is “profoundly Darwinian” in spirit. “It leads to a new philosophy of physics that rejects the idea that the universe is a machine governed by unconditional laws with a prior existence, and replaces it with a view of the universe as a kind of self-organising entity in which all sorts of emergent patterns appear, the most general of which we call the laws of physics.”

    The Origin of Time sounds a lot like In the Beginning. Hawking had to admit he was wrong about everything. What makes his deathbed hypothesis any different?

    We're taking Hertog's word on this?
    Don't be afraid to see what you see
