Stephen Hawking paper from just before he died could find new universe - Business Insider

According to The Sunday Times, the paper sets out the mathematics necessary for a deep-space probe to collect evidence that might prove that other universes exist. The highly theoretical work posits that evidence of the multiverse should be measurable in background radiation dating to the beginning of time. This, in turn, could be measured by a deep-space probe with the right sensors. Thomas Hertog, a physics professor who co-authored the paper with Hawking, said the paper aimed "to transform the idea of a multiverse into a testable scientific framework."
