The Origin of Time
In a way, what we have been trying to do in cosmology ever since the discovery of the big bang is to let time, when we go backwards disappear in a controlled fashion. And that's essentially that has essentially been the goal. But it's kind of interesting that this hypothesis that I developed with Hawking is very different. It's taking the idea of an origin very seriously.
