So according to Hawking, because of the law of gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing and the Big Bang was the inevitable result of the laws of physics.
I would like to get hold of his new book and find out how he reaches these conclusions.
Quote:In his latest book, The Grand Design, Hawking said: “Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.”
He added: “It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.”
