famed physicist Stephen HawkingSpace

Thomas Hertog , now a professor at KU Leuven in Belgium , met Stephen Hawking when he was a graduate student.
Hertog 's new book " On the Origin of Time " (Penguin Random House, 2024 ) was written by Hawking and Hertog .
Hawking's work shifted the universe's perspective to one more like our own — an observer somewhere in the universe.
We thought the laws of physics were fixed and immutable, but if you go back in time, they begin to simplify, even the structure.
In biology, selective pressure plays the role of spurring biological laws to evolve.
In the early universe, there is no human observer, so quantum mechanics can't observe.
The universe is like a disk expanding outward, and at the edge of that disk are qubits.
Thomas Hertog's theory describes laws evolving quickly when the universe was dense and hot.
It's the entire universe transitioning into a new state when it cools and expands.
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".
