Stephen Hawking's Legacy: From Holograms to Indian Contributions.

Stephen Hawking's final theory of the Big Bang, as explained by his closest collaborator, envisions the Universe as a holographic projection where time is holographically encoded. The hologram consists of countless entangled qubits, and the flow of time is what we perceive as the expanding Universe. By taking a fuzzier view of the hologram, one ventures farther back in time, toward the interior of the disk, until one runs out of bits, which is the origin of time. The theory advances a radically different view of cosmogenesis, where the Big Bang emerges from holography as the beginning of laws, not time.
