Hawking's PhD

Post by Rum » Mon Oct 23, 2017 6:14 pm

Written in 1966 and no doubt completely unintelligible to me - if not a few clever clogses here it is now available to download from Cambridge University. The demand was so great this morning that the site crashed. It is all about what happens when the universe expands and you can find it here:

His ideas are interesting. Prefer the gravistar alternative idea myself....singularities where the laws of the universe cease to function, that's like Marvel comic universe territory (too bizarre even for me).
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

He knows his wrong - he's aware of the possibilities in his own field. Too much credibility at stake though.

I read the entire theses last night.

It's about physics.
