On the Origin of Time

On the Origin of Time (2023) guides you through the humbling, stranger-than-fiction theories that the late physicist Stephen Hawking developed in the last two decades of his life. With quantum physics, holograms, and inspiration from Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory, it reveals what the great scientist came to believe about the origins of the universe.

Thomas Hertog is a Belgian cosmologist. In the last two decades of Stephen Hawking’s life Hertog was his closest collaborator, and the pair published multiple scientific papers together. This is Hertog’s second book, after Big Bang: Imagining the Universe.
