Hawking is a charlatan when he is ONLY a scientist who wants to appear as omniscientist knowing everything.
This guy is also a militant/activist who mixes hese opinions with scientific data...It’s not serious and honest.
He is used as a tool by some MSM
I wonder what type of medications Hawkin is on now? The Universe is so complex that we could not understand it if its operation was explained to us. The Universe’s accomplishment has been to create something that is aware of it.
"Nothing" has no mass and therefore cannot be acted upon by the force of gravity, right? I mean, even I know that much (I think.)
"Nothing" also implies lack of anything, including the law of gravity since that "law" must exist within a "universe" that has a system of causes and effects.
This implies one of my favorite questions to scientists:
"Just where, exactly, did the Big Bang take place? After all, it had to happen somewhere and have something into which to expand, right?"
Color me skeptical. I know the guy is smart, but I find it hard to believe he's conversant in an entire branch of physics, lets call it ex nihilo, that no one else has a clue about.
If the Big Bang depends on gravity, and gravity depends on matter/energy, and the Law of Thermodynamics says the stuff is constant and can't be created, then how can there be gravity if you start with nothing?
Or, to quote noted physicist Billy Preston, "Nothing from nothing leaves nothing".
So the atheists believe that the “laws of physics” preexisted physicality itself. That’s good to know. I always wondered about that.
The creation of the universe and the creation of man can be answered in simple terms, “God created everything”. I feel that the answer is not that simple, its beyond our comprehension, and our brains are not yet fully developed to comprehend it. I won’t knock Hawkings on his believes or theories because we can’t prove it one way or the other. He could be right or he could be wrong, at this point, its like saying God created man, or did man create God? I do believe that Hawkings IQ level far exceeds that of the average person and I do not believe he is the spawn of the Devil.
The universe as we know it might have begun as a big bang, but where did it all begin even before that? Hawkings’s answer is short sighted.
A point of infinite energy is not “nothing”
The entire universe was created from something, but not something tangible to the human mind.
Doesn’t that just mean that God created the Universe by simply thinking about it? He didn’t even have to lift a finger!
So brilliant and yet so foolish.
Where does he suppose “laws” come from?
Laws represent order, and order comes from design.
That's a pretty goofy non sequitur, Professor.
Uh...
...is it necessary to invoke anything to light it...?
Uh... ...or... ...did it just light itself???
Something must have lit it.
Whatever that Something is...is...well... ...uh God.
Poor Stephen. He's finally gone over the edge.
Bottom line..ta,ta....,”There Is NO God”. This man is a fool!
Stephen Hawking.
What a dumbass.
It’s very godlike of him to make such a statement.
“but it wouldn’t be a personal God that you could meet, and ask questions.”
That doesn’t logically follow.
Requires an assumption of a fact not in evidence.
If there were an infinite God (which I believe there is) wouldn’t He want to reveal Himself? Of what possible purpose would a Creator create something for no reason?
Sounds like Stephen has some gum on his wheel.
