Usually, I don’t blog about things that don’t particularly interest me.  But even if you are a potted plant (preferably with a physics degree), you probably have people talking to you about this ‘amazing’ new paper by Stephen Hawking.

So, I am making the rare exception of re-blogging something, because Sabine Hossenfelder already wrote everything about this I could possibly want to say, and she did it much better and more convincingly than I would.

So, if you want to know what to make of Hawking’s latest paper head over to the backreaction blog.
