> I’d be surprised if either scientists were trying to publish articles like that — or if they were, that they could pass peer review. The article we're discussing itself even links to one such paper [0]. All of the others she mentions are also published works - Penrose's CCC [1], the ekpyrotic universe [2], Hawking's no-boundary state [3] etc. > On the other hand, if you are working on theories that can extend into the early universe, it’s not unimportant to try and figure out where the model breaks down. Maybe t=0 isn’t possible, but t=1s? 1ns? 1ps? How much can we feasibly describe? Sure…

No he did not. The original paper is at https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.07702 This paper was not widely noticed back when it was written in July (both inside and outside the theoretical physics community) and still has not been accepted in a journal. In fact, it is rather unfortunate but most of what Stephen Hawking did in his latter years has been highly speculative; perhaps food for thought for other experts, but not worth reporting about in the mainstream media since it is (in my opinion) very likely to be wrong. I apologize for not debunking this paper with more detail but a scientist can…
