Brief summary of research themes

Most of my research has been in cosmology, astrophysics, gravitation theory and quantum field

theory. Later I diversified into astrobiology. In the 1970s I helped develop the subject of

quantum field theory in curved spacetime, a step toward a full theory of quantum gravity. This

project culminated in the first systematic text on the subject, co-authored with my student

Nicholas Birrell, entitled Quantum Fields in Curved Space. I applied the theory in many papers

to the physics of the very early universe and to the theory of black holes. As a result I was able to

develop a better understanding of the thermodynamics of black holes, and in particular to explain

the evaporation of black holes via the Hawking effect in terms of a flux of negative energy into

the hole. My worked proved influential in the formulation of the now standard model of the early

universe, known as inflation.

Throughout my career I have maintained a strong interest in the nature of time, and in particular

the origin of time asymmetry and its relationship to cosmology. In the late 1980s I contributed to

the theory of so-called wormholes, now famous for opening up the possibility of time travel.

Although a somewhat frivolous topic, the subject of wormhole time machines has a serious

aspect to it by casting valuable light on the causal structure of spacetime - important in attempts

to formulate a unified theory of physics.

I have also maintained a strong interest in the philosophical ramifications of my work, and I have

written extensively on the following topics: the origin and ultimate fate of the universe, the

nature of time and consciousness, the nature of quantum reality, the nature of complexity, the

origin of life, the search for extraterrestrial life, the anthropic principle, the status of the laws of

physics and the nature of mathematics.

Current research projects

Origin of the universe

My research focuses on the first split second after the big bang, and addresses whether the

observed universe might be only a tiny component in a multiverse of vastly different universes.

A key issue is why the observed universe seems to be so remarkably well suited to support life.

Origin of physical laws and the nature of time

How do the laws of physics originate? Are they immutable or do they change with time? How

does a universe with temporal direction emerge from time–symmetric laws? Research on these

interconnected problems is being pursued using results from quantum cosmology and the theory

of computation.

Nature of time

My main focus is an investigation of time's arrow, its nature and origin, and how it relates to the

origin and end of the universe.

Foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum biology

My current focus is on the use of weak measurements and post–selection from ensembles of

identically prepared quantum systems. This formalism is being used to investigate biological

systems, cosmology, and the nature of the observer.

Astrobiology and the origin of life

I am investigating whether life on Earth may have come from Mars, or whether life formed

independently on Earth several times over, perhaps creating a “shadow biosphere.”

Horizon entropy and the holographic paradigm

As part of my longstanding interest in the link between general relativity, thermodynamics and

quantum mechanics, I am investigating how far the second law of thermodynamics may be

generalized, e.g. to cosmological event horizons that change with time.

Notable research achievements

1. The universe displays a distinct asymmetry between past and future, a property

sometimes called „the arrow of time.‟ The nature and ultimate origin of this arrow has

been hotly debated for 150 years. In the 1960s a welter of discoveries and new ideas

about time served to create considerable confusion. Drawing upon my research in several

distinct branches of physics, I was able to set out a new and consistent framework for

understanding this topic, and I presented the work in my first book, The Physics of Time

Asymmetry. It proved to be highly influential in the subsequent development of the

subject.

2. In 1975 Stephen Hawking famously predicted that black holes are not black but emit heat

radiation, as seen by a distant observer. He arrived at this conclusion by applying

quantum field theory to a model of a star that collapses under its own gravity to form a

black hole, while the observer remains far away. Shortly afterwards I found a simpler

situation that is closely analogous: that of an observer who undergoes uniform

acceleration in Minkowski space (i.e. spacetime with no gravitational field present). My

conclusion is that even when a region of space appears totally empty and devoid of

radiation as seen by a stationary observer, an accelerating observer would perceive a bath

of thermal radiation. This result was published in 1976. The following year William

Unruh derived the same result by considering how an accelerated particle detector would

respond in empty Milkowski space. This curious phenomenon has become known as the

Unruh effect (occasionally the Davies-Unruh effect), and has been the subject of

hundreds of papers.

3. In the mid-1970‟s I began investigating quantum effects associated with accelerating

mirrors, in collaboration with Stephen Fulling. We found that a reflecting surface that is

violently disturbed creates photons, a phenomenon that became known as „moving mirror

radiation.‟ Although the effect is exceedingly weak, there has been much interest in

recent years in detecting it in the laboratory. It has also been invoked as a (probably

incorrect) explanation for the phenomenon of sonoluminescence (the creation of flashes

of light by sound in a liquid medium).

4. Related work with Stephen Fulling led to our discovery of the first so-called conformal

anomaly, a phenomenon in which a mathematical symmetry in the underlying theory is

broken by subtle quantum field effects. Anomalies have proved to be crucial in the

consistent formulation of quantum fields that interact with other fields.

5. An important goal of contemporary cosmology is the study of fluctuations in the cosmic

microwave background radiation. This radiation provides a snapshot of the state of the

universe shortly after the big bang, and the all-important „ripples‟ can be used to

determine the make-up of the universe and the details of its evolution. The ripples are the

precursors of the large scale structure of the universe (galaxies, clusters of galaxies),

which are a necessary precondition for the existence of human observers. The origin of

these ripples is therefore of intense scientific and philosophical significance. Most

cosmologists attribute the origin of the ripples to quantum fluctuations during the so-

called inflationary era, a period during the first split second when the universe expanded

in an ultra-fast spurt. In the 1970s I laid the theoretical foundations for this explanation

by developing the quantum theory of fields in de Sitter space, a description of an

expanding universe thought to most closely match the inflationary phase. This work was

carried out in collaboration with my graduate student Tim Bunch, and the resulting

„Bunch-Davies‟ quantum vacuum state now forms the basis for understanding the cosmic

microwave background ripples.

6. In 1977 I discovered a further important fact about the thermodynamic properties of

black holes. Static black holes radiate heat by the Hawking effect, and get hotter as a

result. The process is therefore unstable. I showed that if the black hole spins faster than a

certain rate, it undergoes some sort of abrupt transition (technically known as a phase

transition), beyond which it can be stable in a surrounding heat bath, i.e. it cools as it

radiates, after the fashion of a normal hot body. I found the same phenomenon occurs if

the black hole carries a large enough electric charge.

7. In 1981 I conceived of a possible solution for the so-called cosmological constant

problem (now known as the dark energy problem). The cosmological constant describes a

sort of gravitational repulsion effect that seems to pervade the universe, and the problem

is to understand why it is so feeble. Theory suggests a value up to 120 powers of ten

greater than the observed value. With my postdoctoral assistant Stephen Unwin, I

proposed that the value of this constant slowly varies through a wide range of values

from place to place in a specific manner (based on a simple model in quantum field

theory). Only in certain limited regions of space would the value be low enough to permit

the formation of galaxies and hence the emergence of life. It would then be no surprise

that we find ourselves located in such an atypical low-value region of the universe. This

type of „anthropic‟ explanation for the smallness of the cosmological problem is now

very fashionable, but our paper was at least ten years ahead of the fashion.

8. In the early 1990s I proposed that life may have begun on Mars and spread to Earth (or

vice versa) in rocks ejected from the planets by large comet impacts. This theory was

discussed independently by Jay Melosh. After several years of scepticism, the basic idea

of the theory has become generally accepted by astrobiologists.
