Thomas Hertog

Thomas Hertog is a Belgian cosmologist and theoretical physicist who collaborated closely with Stephen Hawking for over two decades.

As Hawking's student, mentee, and later colleague, Hertog played a crucial role in developing Hawking's final cosmological theories.

He is known for his work on cosmic inflation and quantum cosmology.

Hertog's writing style is praised for making complex scientific concepts accessible to general readers.

His book not only presents cutting-edge cosmological theories but also offers personal insights into Hawking's life and scientific process.

Hertog currently works as a professor of theoretical physics and continues to build upon the research he conducted with Hawking.
