Hawking submitted his last scientific paper on March 4, 10 days before his death. This paper proposes a method to detect whether other universes really exist. The mathematical theory of this method can be tested with deep space probe .
Hawking submitted his last scientific paper two weeks before his death, laying the foundation for the verification of the theory of the multiverse.
Hawking died last Wednesday at the age of 76. This paper is a mathematical paper he co-authored with the aim of seeking evidence for the “multiverse” theory. Multiverse theory assumes that there are many universes, not just the universe we are in.
The paper was entitled “Smooth Exit from Permanent Expansion”, and the last revision was completed on March 4, 10 days before Hawking’s death.
According to the “Sunday Times” report, after the review is completed, the paper will be published in an “Authoritative Journal”.
Cornell University’s scientific paper tracking website ArXiv.org has a record of this scientific paper, including the record of revision in March 2018.
According to the “Sunday Times” report, the content of this paper lists the mathematical knowledge required for deep space exploration to collect evidence that may prove the existence of other universes.
Highly theoretical research shows that evidence of the multiverse should be detectable in the background radiation at the beginning of time. This can also be detected by a deep space probe equipped with suitable sensors.
Thomas Hertog, a professor of physics who co-authored this scientific paper with Hawking, said that the purpose of this paper is to transform the concept of the multiverse into a testable scientific framework.
Hutog, who works at KU Leuven University in Belgium, told the Sunday Times that before submitting the paper, he personally met with Hawking to obtain final approval.
The newspaper said that if such evidence can be found, Hawking and Hutoge can become Nobel Prize candidates.
However, since the Nobel Prize cannot be awarded after death, it is impossible for Hawking to win the award.
