Hawking’s new book, The Grand Design, is an example of philosophical idealism, because he takes math for physics.

The true history of cosmology is the story of coming to consensus about just three things: The universe is lawful and rational throughout; the universe is finite in space in time: the universe was designed as our home.
Hawking vs Gonzalez 13

Hawking presented our finite universe as one accident in an infinite series; Gonzalez presents it as a home. These two represent the end points of two long arguments about cosmology.
Hawking’s Multiverse

Stephen Hawking’s multiverse is a cosmic foam in which universes pop in and out of existence. But such a situation cannot be understood because there are no universal laws; it is chaotic; it is not physics. The whole idea is harmful to the scientific endeavor as a REAL enterprise.
