from the present to the past 30 june 2006
cambridge physicist stephen hawking and his cern colleague thomas hertog have
proposed a radical new approach to understanding the universe that studies it
from the "top down" rather than the "bottom up" as in traditional models. the
approach acknowledges that the universe did not have just one unique beginning
and history but a multitude of different beginnings and histories, and that it
has experienced them all. but because most of these other alternative histories
disappeared very early after the big bang to leave behind the universe we
observe today, the best way to understand the past, they say, is to trace our
knowledge back from the present (phys. rev. d 73 123527).
