Thomas Hertog , now a professor at KU Leuven in Belgium , met Stephen Hawking when he was a graduate student.
He and Hawking collaborated on a new theory for how our universe came to be.
Hertog: "When you take a God's -eye view of the universe, you are going to be looking for a prior explanation".
Theory says physical laws fold in on themselves and time itself loses its identity.
Theory says the laws of physics, along with time and space, disappear as we reach the Big Bang .
Time is an emergent property from the interactions of many quantum particles at the edge of the observable universe.
Thomas Hertog's new book, " On the Origin of Time ," details the final theory he developed with Stephen Hawking .
Hertog: "If the laws of physics were not determined, fixed and immutable in the past, it's natural to expect they won't be eternal. So, even though that evolution is suppressed now (because the universe is cold), it's not infinitely suppressed. It's not gone," he says.
