In Hawking's model time becomes another dimension of space, it is spatialized.

What exactly is a topological transition and does anyone think it could have started the Big Bang?

Thus, the big bang can be seen as the beginning of bubble nucleation, and the spontaneous nucleation of universes.

No physicist holds that the singularity actually exists it's just an ideal mathematical limit to a series in a sense of calculus.

In the very early universe space-time existed in a more primitive state where time itself was simply another direction in space.

Hawking's variation on the traditional model

The universe didn't come from nothing, in Hawking's model the universe was never created, it always existed.

In Hawking's edgeless universe all space-time would be finite and edge-less.

In Hawking's model the universe is finite, but without an outside. There is nothing outside it. More precisely, there is no outside. According to Hawking's proposal the past of the universe is finite (as is in the Big Bang model) but, unlike the past of the Big Bang, it is unbounded.

Gould expressed the opinion that intelligence may have been an improbable event because are evolution consists of a staggeringly improbable series of events, and anyone of these events could have occurred differently. Many of us are tempted to see the present biota of the Earth as in some way...

Hawking's model says space-time has no boundary and no edge, that it is boundless, unbounded, and unlimited. There is no edge to spacetime, the universe is completely self-contained and has no beginning.

If Hawking's model is correct then the universe could be regarded as a causally closed system, uncreatable and indestrucible.

Hawking suggested that there is no edge to spacetime.
