Stephen Hawking on Cosmological Self-Existence
A Brief History of Time (New York: Bantam, 1988), p. 136.
The quantum theory of gravity has opened up a new possibility, in which
there would be no boundary to space-time and so there would be no need
to specify the behavior at the boundary. There would be no
singularities at which the laws of science broke down and no edge of
space-time at which one would have to appeal to God or some new law to
set the boundary conditions for space-time. One could say: 'The
boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary.' The
universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by
anything outside itself. It would neither be created nor destroyed. It
would just BE.
