British physicist Stephen Hawking may have died in March, but his legacy is still unfolding. The prominent theoretical physicist and cosmologist co-authored a research paper about the existence of parallel universes similar to our own, which the Journal of High-Energy Physics posthumously published on Friday. According to the BBC, the study was submitted to the open-access journal shortly before Hawking’s death. It was unclear to them whether the laws of physics that apply in our universe would also apply in these alternate universes. There was huge variation,” said Hertog, a physics professor at the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium.
