Stephen Hawking's Final Book Says There's 'No Possibility' of God in Our Universe

Stephen Hawking's final research paper has been published, and it's mind-bending Some other media headlines are saying that it means that the universe is not infinite and that it is more simple than complex. Or something like that...

He once warned us not to communicae with aliens for rear as communicating to the wrong ones would lead to these (the aliens) conquering us. Now hes warning us about computers becoming more intelligent than humans with disasterous consequences. How rational are these fears? Does anyone agree...

"Physics has become a giant cash cow, milked straight from the various national treasuries by the usual suspects. Hundreds of billions of dollars are siphoned from the people of Europe, China, Russia, and the Americas via these fake programs. And Hawking was an important PR personality in the...

So apparently Stephen Hawking admitting he was wrong about black holes means all scientists are full of crap, according to Michelle Bachmann. EDIT: And Dear God I'm thick, apparently the Borowitz Report is a satirical thing. -_-

It looks like the search is ever-narrowing for the Higgs boson: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2011/08/23/a-higgs-setback-did-stephen-hawking-just-win-the-most-outrageous-bet-in-physics-history/ Some may think this means its discovery is just around the corner, others may think...

“The Grand Design”, written by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow is an ambitious book written to plainly and clearly explain the answers to the big questions posed by cosmology and philosophy as posed by recent scientific understanding. I found the book easy to read and understand. It is...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/may/15/stephen-hawking-interview-there-is-no-heaven Why do geniuses have to spend their valuable time stating the obvious?

Not sure if this should be in R&P, but I think it falls under science. Stephen Hawking says that God is not necessary to explain the creation of the universe. This is a slight shifting from his position in A Brief History of Time, where he did not dismiss the possibility of God being involved.

Stephen Hawking used to be very reluctant to answer the question, "Do you believe in God?" Perhaps it was because of his vivid awareness of the fate of Galileo, or perhaps it was because of his physical helplessness and knowledge of what Christians are capable of, but when asked the big question...

Stephen Hawking WOO?????????????? Is anyone else disappointed in the “into the universe with Stephen Hawking show on Discovery? It was bad enough having him fear monger about aliens and then all the news orgs picked it as if it were the gospel but on the last one he plainly states that “ the...

What this man says makes perfect sense to me... http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100425/sc_afp/scienceastronomyextraterrestrialhawking

"He concludes that trying to make contact with alien races is “a little too risky”. He said: “If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”...

These people just get more bizarre. Here's an editorial from the Investors Business Daily writing about the fictitious death panel and why U.S. healthcare is so much better: Stephen Hawking? Could they have picked a worse example? What can you say to such an argument... It speaks for itself.

The Perimeter Institute has announced Stephen Hawking as their first Distinguished Research Chair, which means he'll be spending a bit of time over here. I'm not a physicist - I don't even play one on television - but something like this could only mean good things for the PI, Canada and...

Stephen Hawking will be at Caltech on April 9 at 8pm! Here's the info from the Caltech events site: Event website: www.events.caltech.edu/hawking I'll try to make it. Anyone want to meet up beforehand?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO2l7ziEIuk I'm not sure if this is a deliberate Creationist hoax, it might be someone playing a joke on the creationists, if so, it worked, they are posting it as evidence that evolution is a lie. Funny how the suddenly care about what Hawking has to say when...

Ok, having just watched a horizon program on Hawkings, the below equation is referred to as leading to Hawkings' theory re the information paradox - ie that information could be lost in a black hole. $$ S=\frac{kc^3A}{4\hbar G} $$ Where S= entropy of a black hole k=Boltzman constant c=speed of...

Excerpt: Link: Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says pope told him not to study beginning of universe blutoskitorial: I'm suspicious that this news report really reports a true quote from Hawking.

That is "theory of everything". Very gratifying though that he's been brought around to my way of thinking ;)
