Stephen Hawking was never awarded a Nobel
prize when he was alive.
But research he completed on his death bed
might have helped him get one.
Just days before he died, he completed a paper
on how to detect evidence of a multiverse.
What is good, this is inform overload where
we overload you with information, I’m Charlotte
Dobre.
Stephen hawking completed a paper on his deathbed
that outlines a method by which we could use
a detector on a spaceship to measure other
universes.
This paper, if it had lead to any evidence
being discovered, might have led to a Nobel
prize for Stephen hawking.
The paper is called “a smooth exit from
eternal inflation’ and it was co authored
by another theoretical physicist, Thomas hertog.
It details how the universe came to be, and
also hypothesizes that the big bang caused
other big bangs, and each big bang produced
its own universe.
Hawking first proposed the idea of multiple
universes in 1983, with what is known as the
no boundary theory.
But of course, it is extremely difficult to
test this to find out if it actually happened.
If there are other universes out there, those
other universes are imperceptible to us from
our universe.
The great thing about Stephens theory is it’s
the first theory of its kind that could be
tested.
He proposes putting a detector on a deep space
probe.
It also lays out the mathematical equations
for figuring out the signs of a multiverse.
According to Carlos French of Durham University
‘the intriguing idea in hawking's paper
is that the multiverse left its imprint on
the background radiation permeating our universe,
and we could measure it with a detector on
a spaceship’
Ok so, Here’s the not so good thing, the
theory of the expanding universe, is also
whats going to eventually lead to the end
of ours.
When the stars run out of energy, which they
inevitably will, everything will return to
nothingness.
This study is currently being peer reviewed,
and hasn’t been published yet.
Like anything science related, there are critics.
But wouldn’t it be something if the paper
hawking completed on his death bed ended up
being the key to discovering the secrets of
our universe?
