This groundbreaking vision of the early universe challenges conventional cosmology, offering a radical departure from current theory. While such a bold claim could be easily dismissed, it gains undeniable credibility through its ability to predict the outcome of a double-slit experiment-an experiment that could unlock long-standing cosmological mysteries and redefine the foundation of quantum theory. Given what's at stake, and the potential for a Nobel Prize-winning discovery, the experiment's execution is inevitable. But what recent breakthrough justifies such a profound shift in our understanding of the universe's origins? The answer lies in the work of Stephen Hawking.

Hawking's final conclusion, as detailed by his collaborator Thomas Hertog in On the Origin of Time, challenges one of the deepest assumptions of modern physics: that the laws of physics are fundamental. Instead, he argued, they are emergent-meaning they did not preexist the universe but arose as it evolved. This insight exposes a critical flaw in the Big Bang Theory (BBT), as formulated by Lema
