New Big Bang theory is damp squib, say experts

Stephen Hawking’s final theory of time, just published posthumously, ‘falls way short’ in seriously challenging major doctrines of the universe, Christian scientists say.

The book, On the Origin of Time, is written by Hawking’s prodigy, the Belgian philosopher Thomas Hertog. The pair worked together in Hawkings’ final years, during which time he announced to Hertog that his original book, A Brief History of Time, was in fact flawed.

The new book is their ‘final theory’ and presents a new ‘top down cosmology’, though Hertog admits it is still only a hypothesis.
