But there are facts, many of them. Hawking arrives at his conclusions based on relativistic physics, which has held up under intense scrutiny and experiment. Our current theories may be displaced by better ones further down the line, but so far the observable facts support relativity.
For the rest, well, my copy of the book gets here tomorrow, so let's read it and continue then!

EDIT: I should have said "quantum physics" above instead of referring to relativity. Returned to this post after reading "The Grand Design" and spotted my error!
