Get ready to explore Stephen Hawking's final, revolutionary theory that challenges everything you thought you knew about time and existence. You'll journey to the very edge of quantum physics and cosmology to understand Hawking's ultimate answer. Discover how his "top-down" approach redefines our universe's past, present, and future, offering a stunning new perspective on our own place in the cosmos.

Thomas Hertog is a world-renowned cosmologist who was Stephen Hawking’s closest collaborator for twenty years on their new quantum theory of the cosmos. As a professor at KU Leuven, Hertog’s research has focused on the origin of our universe, leading to the groundbreaking ideas explored in this book. His unique partnership with Hawking gave him unparalleled insight into the physicist’s final, revolutionary thoughts on time and creation, which he now shares with the world for the first time.
