Stephen Hawking Says Universe Created from Nothing: “mr_3ntropy writes ‘Speaking to a sold out crowd at the Berkeley Physics Oppenheimer Lecture, Hawking said yesterday that he now believes ”’the universe spontaneously popped into existence from nothing”’. He said more work is needed to prove this but we have time because ””Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.”” There is also a Webcast available (Realplayer or Real Alternative required).’
