According to John Horgan, science journalist writing for The Wall Street Journal, Hawking, in his book, prefers string theory as a way of explaining the "theory of everything" (which Hawking predicts to be solved by "the end of this century") and, based on quantum mechanics, considers empty space as filled with virtual particles, "popping into ...

This book is a collection of essays and lectures written by Hawking, mainly about the makeup of black holes, and why they might be nodes from which other universes grow. Hawking discusses black hole thermodynamics, special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics.
On the Origin of Time is a 2023 book by physicist Thomas Hertog about the theories of Stephen Hawking. [1] Hertog is a Belgian cosmologist working at KU Leuven university, who worked extensively with Hawking.
