In 2001, Hawking published The Universe in a Nutshell, A Briefer History of Time in 2005, and God Created the Integer in 2006. During that same time, Hawking also introduced his “top-down cosmology” which claimed that the universe had not one unique initial state but multiple.

During the 2000s, Hawking was also traveling a lot all over the world and was limited to his private jet by 2011. It was during this time that Hawking learned he was wrong about the loss of information in a black hole which he referred to as his “biggest blunder.”

The Higgs boson proved that Hawking wasn’t always right.
