[FRIAM] Stephen Hawkings final theory

[Russell Standish]

As a longtime proponent of the idea that physics is the result of
evolution, I was surprised that Hawking might also have thought so.

For me, John Wheeler's approach ("particpatory universe") is perhaps
the most canonical, with Lee Smolin's "black holes giving birth to new
universes with their own black holes" being an interesting variant.

Cheers
