The Latest Breaking News from Stephen Hawking

What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning? Our research suggests it may have taken place inside a black hole

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else – something more familiar and radical at…

Death of the universe predicted to arrive much sooner using Stephen Hawking-inspired theory

Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are decaying much faster than previously thought. The estimate of stellar remnant decay is based on Stephen Hawking's famous black hole radiation theory.

Evidence for Stephen Hawking's unproven black hole theory may have just been found — at the bottom of the sea

The recent discovery of a stupendously powerful neutrino has left scientists scratching their heads. New research suggests it could be evidence that Stephen Hawking was right about the nature of black holes and the early universe.
