Hawking says humans close to finding answers to origin of universe
[link to www.breitbart.com]

Acclaimed British physicist Stephen Hawking has said that humanity is finally getting close to understanding the origin of the universe.

Speaking at a lecture in Hong Kong, Hawking said that despite some theoretical advances in the past years, there are still mysteries as to how the universe began.

"Despite having had some great successes, not everything is solved. We do not yet have good theoretical understanding of the observation of the expansion of the universe," he told an audience of 2,500 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Thursday.

"Without such understanding, we cannot be sure of the future of the universe.

"New observational results and theoretical advances are coming in rapidly; cosmology is a very exciting subject. We are getting close to answering these old questions: why are we here, where did we come from?"

The origin of the Universe is the last thing on 99.9% of Mankind's mind. my friends.

Hawking should be putout to wheelchair pasture. With or without a grant is up to further debate.

How about water and food for starving thirsty humans?

This story is an interesting sidenote to the people that think the big bang is a done deal. The physicists can force the numbers to work right back to the inflationary moment and no further. Wanna know why? "cause the big bang did not happen. Hawking is wrong.

Like evolution it is a theory without a beginning.

Tiny nitpick, Hawkings is not a,
but THE Lucasian professor.
It is a very distinguished position.

And he actually thinks that the Universe didn't
necessarily start as a singularity.
Zaphod, what do you think 'Big Bang'-theory
actually states?

Re: Hawking says humans close to finding answers to origin of universe
Look, just because somebody has made a career out of physics and studying theorems and phenomena DOES NOT qualify them anymore than a hobo in an ally laying in piss-soaked clothing to start running their mouths about how they think they have the answer to the "origin of the universe." That is just ass-backwards stupid. Besides, any decent, sane physicist usually will tell you they don't know MUCH, MUCH more than they know.

Yeah Halcyon, they do keep changing it don't they? I for one will be laughing very hard with many a " I told you so" when big bang and string have to finally be scrapped altogether.

Debate what? None of it is fact. A bunch of story-tellers who fancy showing off their mathematical skills and impressing everybody with their derivations and abstract extrapolations. BUT, when it comes down to it, they just really don't know chit, my friend. They only think they do. Reality and their perception of reality with their limited senses are many different things.

HAWHAW...a self-sufficient moon base! Just make some green houses and grow huge forests and chop those trees down to make toilet paper and boxes for all the diapers produced on the moon diaper factory. Huge green pastures for the cows on the moon, for milk, meat and leather chaps required for cowboys on the moon. Yeehaw, Brokeback Moon Mountain.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 106340

Maybe we should ask Dr. Van Allen.

The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense.
 Quoting: Dr. James Van Allen

it's really a hoot when the slackjaws that haunt this place, you know the ones that are still in the dark ages mentally, start denigrating guys like hawkings.how many of these people went past junior college? even then they were studying for the test. and half of them took psychology as a major. probably facinated with what makes them so backwards.

Re: Hawking says humans close to finding answers to origin of universe
Too bad he did not study economics...

The he might have discovered that the take more than you give system top sucking from the bottom can only inflate to maximum potential then deflate to maximum potential...

Or Inflation is inflation that is greater than previous inflation and deflation is inflation that is less than previous inflation...

Or that Truth is infinite and indestructible...

Or GOD is Truth and Truth is GOD...

Or All life and everything in and including the Universe itself capitalizes on GOD for it's existance...

Or GOD supplies an infinite and indestructible amount of less than infinite and indestructible power to all...

It's why he's rapidly self destructing...

Or that the only way to defeat GOD is with greater than infinite and indestructible power.

Or that no such power exists...There is no greater power than infinite and indestructible power...

Yup keep sending money we are on the verge of solving all the problems...

Guess what? The only problem that money can solve is the problem of not having enough money...

Leonardo da Vinci was a supreme example of a Renaissance genius who possessed one of the greatest minds of all times.

Leonardo never attended public school.

Da Vinci was an architect, musician, engineer, scientist and inventor. He sketched the first parachute, first helicopter, first aeroplane, first tank, first repeating rifle, swinging bridge, paddle boat and first motor car. Da Vinci designed machines of war as well. He was one of the first artists to sketch outdoor portraits. Da Vinci was a sculptor and designer of costumes. He was also a mathematician and a botanist.
