Read what Hawking says you fucking clown.
Here is another quote from the paper.
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/0602/0602091v2.pdf
"Here we put forward a different approach to cosmology in the string landscape,
based not on the classical idea of a single history for the universe but on the quantum
sum over histories [12]. We argue that the quantum origin of the universe naturally
leads to a framework for cosmology where amplitudes for alternative histories of the
universe are computed with boundary conditions at late times only.
We thus envision a set of alternative universes in the landscape, with amplitudes given by the no boundary path integral [13]."

See that asshole..... "we thus envision a set of alternate universes....."
which means more than one fricken universe.
see that troll...

Quote from stu:
What a load of utter horseshit. Where do you get that crap?
Hawking specifically does not include -the multiverse- or versions of -the multiverse- in top down.
In top down, Hawking proposes an initial condition for the universe as a quantum superimposition of all possible conditions. Theoretically possible for all the universe's properties to exist simultaneously but which only a very few contribute, similar thinking as in respect to Feynmanâs sum-over-paths quantum theory and electrons for example.
So the outcome of the universe is made inevitable as past conditions must lead to the present observed universe. An anthropic account without the multiverse.
You might as well say electrons are -the multiverse-. You haven't a clue what you're talking about.
First you try to shoehorn God into top down. Having failed you seem to think if you can at least shoehorn a multiverse in so you can shout "speculation", that would be better than nothing.
