I'm no scientist, not even close. But this report seems to raise more questions than it answers:
PASADENA, Calif. — Our universe didn't need any divine help to burst into being, famed cosmologist Stephen Hawking told a packed house here at the California Institute of Technology Tuesday night...M-theory posits that multiple universes are created out of nothing, Hawking explained, with many possible histories and many possible states of existence.
Evidently, Hawking is saying the universe's origin defies the First Law of Thermodynamics, which says matter can neither be created nor destroyed. In other words, the amount of matter or energy in the universe is constant, and it can be converted, moved, stored or dissipated, but will not be created or eliminated.
That law is a basic part of all physical sciences. Unless I'm missing something, Hawking needs to explain what force was able to do what can’t be done.
