Stephen Hawking dedicated his final days to exploring the existence of parallel universes.

Stephen Hawking has died, but the English theoretical physicist continuing to work on some of the greatest mysteries of the universe. Thus, Hawking invested tranches of the life aksing questions about the existence of parallel worlds, calculating the numbers and lost in his thoughts in order to make it real.

His latest work is actually a revised version of a paper with the title A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation where he tries to spell out how the concept of the multiverse can be integrated in the standard physical framework. This notion that an infinite number of universes have been produced side by side to our own is not especially innovative, what is problematic is the question of how to prove it and this is what Hawking reflected upon in the paper that was last reworked only ten days before his death.

In his paper, Hawking dared formulate some very informed speculations about the circumstances under which the existence of a parallel universe would be empirically confirmed. However, the most arduous one to substantiate is the technological, because the scientist imagines that mere deep space probes would have to search for and record residual background noise – leftovers from the creation of parallel universes.

Previous study has shown that signs of other universes are perhaps barely out of sight. A straightforward inquiry into a region of space scientifically described as a “cold spot” produced what can only be described as a stunning hypothesis: the so called “cold spot” could well be the impact site of another universe colliding with our own. Beyond this, of course, actual proof is well beyond humanity’s scientific ability, but Hawking’s work could once again potentially pave the way to proving that we exist in one of a near infinite number of such universes as ours.

Alas, The Times notes that if such a thing is ever discovered, a parallel world will undoubtedly be worthy of top scientific prizes, including a Nobel Prize. To the misfortune of the late Hawking, the prize has not been delivered to a person anytime after they pass on, meaning that he will not qualify for the prize no matter how many breakthroughs he made to the field.
