Stephen Hawking - Campus Party speech (2006)

Prof Stephen Hawking speech to Campus Party 2006
Hawking's principal fields of research are theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity. In 1971, in collaboration with Sir Roger Penrose, he proved the first of many singularity theorems; such theorems provide a set of sufficient conditions for the existence of a singularity in space-time. This work showed that, far from being mathematical curiosities which appear only in special cases, singularities are a fairly generic feature of general relativity.
Hawking also suggested that, after the Big Bang, primordial or mini black holes were formed. With Bardeen and Carter, he proposed the four Laws of black hole mechanics, drawing an analogy with thermodynamics. In 1974, he calculated that black holes should thermally create and emit subatomic particles, known as Hawking radiation, until they exhaust their energy and evaporate.
In collaboration with Jim Hartle, Hawking developed a model in which the Universe had no boundary in space-time, replacing the initial singularity of the classical Big Bang models with a region akin to the North pole; while one cannot travel North of the North pole, there is no boundary there. While originally the no-boundary proposal predicted a closed Universe, discussions with Neil Turok led to the realization that the no-boundary proposal is consistent with a Universe which is not closed also.

A true genius.
His record breaking, best-selling book 'A Brief History of Time' is truly breath taking.
Possibly one of the greatest English scientists of all time.

[baby_crying_closeup] Hej! Hur är läget?
Somliga verkar använda kommentarsfältet på samma nivå som skoltidens "stjärnor" använde toaletterna på högstadiet och gymnasiet.
"Norge, den sista Sovjetstaten." Kan det möjligen ligga något i Björn Rosengrens uppmärksammade uttalande?
Hört talas om "FN:s deklaration om mänskliga rättigheter". Rekommenderas varmt.
Lyssna också på herr Hawking. Peace!
P.S. Har tyvärr inte möjlighet att delta i sandlådeleken.

I have a very ... ( 3 months ago by Wcoltd)
I have a very similar idea of evolution and emergence, yet i believe we are already part of a consciousness. essentially that the nations we are a part of are just as alive as you and I. Much like cells of a body we join together to make a larger consciousness. People perform different functions like organ cells in a body. Life is in it's nature scalar and it's ability to move up in the scalar level is dependant upon our ability to communicate with each other.
Well, the fact that ... ( 3 months ago by tshalverson)
Well, the fact that you are very much less smart than this man, and also the fact that you are fucking stupid, makes your statement invalid.
Array ( 3 months ago by Wcoltd)
...What?
That sounds repetitive and redundant or both.
Oh, I get it!
the fact that I am stupid is disproved by the fact that I am much less smart than he is. So therefore you're saying I must be some sort of Jeaneous. The Old double negative!
For serious, though All I is saying is there is no way to determine the source of consciousness, it's the result of a network. That the system's we make up can be as much alive (or even more so) than you or I.
Array ( 3 months ago by FearTheHobbit)
Jeaneous
Exactly.
I think what he is ... ( 3 months ago by jaekus123)
I think what he is trying to say is that you could still be much less smart tha he is and still very clever, but you are not. I really don't see what you're trying to say with your whole consciouness thing here, consciouness is something humans invented, not some kind of godly matter that connects us all.
I don't believe ... ( 3 months ago by Wcoltd)
I don't believe that consciousness is something that could possibly be invented by the recipient, it just comes to be. Our brains are the result neurons and anons working in a network so tight that it creates a kind of unity. This idea is the idea of emergence; the idea that symbiotic relationships can become so interdependent that they actually (fuse) into a larger organism.

The galaxies of the visible universe are enormeous particules and they move away
from one point which is located outside the visible universe.
8.
So this energyconsentration expands and opens up energywaves and these energywaves
have the nature of the galaxies.
Peace and Love
