Astrophysics theory for the end of the world, but also its promising assessment of possible finding of alternative universes with the help of spacecraft
A prediction for the inevitable end of our world, but also a promising way to perhaps detect parallel universes, includes the latest theory of the multiverse he left behind shortly before he died.
Until the last week before his death, the British scientist was working on his latest work entitled "A smooth exit from perpetual inflation", which is already in the process of being reviewed by a leading scientific journal, to which it has been submitted.
In it, according to the British press (Times of London, Independent, Telegraph), Hawking predicts that our universe will end when the stars run out of energy. However, he does not rule out that in the meantime scientists will finally be able to find alternative universes with the help of spacecraft with special instruments.
Hawking, according to information from his colleagues, describes in his as yet unpublished work the complex mathematics needed for a spacecraft to detect traces of multiple "Big Bangs" (Big Bang). This theory may prove to be the most important legacy he leaves behind.
Many scientists - including Hawking - believe that the universe expanded abruptly from a single point, rapidly reaching its current near-modern dimensions, a theory known as "cosmic inflation." From this theory emerges another theory of the existence of many "Big Bangs", each of which created its own universe, with the end result being a multiverse.
But there is a huge distance from theory to practice. To date, no one has been able to provide evidence that this has actually happened. But perhaps Hawking had one last brilliant idea, which would make it possible to confirm the multiverse with tangible data from observation.
According to Carlos Frank, a professor of cosmology at the University of Durham, Hawking believed that the multiverse left its mark on the cosmic background radiation that penetrates our universe and that we can therefore detect it with the appropriate instruments.
A colleague of Professor Thomas Hertog of the Belgian Catholic University of Leuven, who worked with Hawking on the new theory, said that with this latest work, Hawking could finally win the Nobel Prize in Physics, if in the process his theory was confirmed by similar discoveries.
