But, um, this is completely irrelevant given that Hawking himself believes the theory that it's a fallacty to expect a cause for every event and that therefore, with time according to him and some others as having started with the Big Bang, there is no cause.
He doesn't think the universe, or rather reality to be more precise given that we know the age of the actual "universe", has always existed.
