Questioning the universe | Stephen Hawking 

The amount of sheer disrespect in these comments is crazy! We should be thanking Hawking for his contributions to science and for his willingness to share some of his knowledge when it is so difficult to communicate. Be kind.

It’s crazy that this man was diagnosed with ALS when he was 21 and was only given 2 years to live. He survived 55. RIP Stephen you will be missed.

"There is nothing bigger or older than the universe." God that's a beautiful statement.

rest in peace stephen you are a beauifull genuis kind man , couragous, strong sweet father , you will never never be f orgotten millions of us willmiss you you passed away in my home town of cambridge i have tears now God will hold you now

Stephen Hawking died 2 years ago, at 76. The saddest part is that the word lost a wonderful scientist and man. For me, the second saddest is that I never got to see him in person.

I see him smirking at his own jokes.

Smart & funny. cool dude.

This mans story is truely remarkable God bless him that he's even alive and able to share his therioes about life..

It's so sad that such a brilliant mind is bound to such a lesser body... Imagine if he didn't have his condition...

Rip to one of the brilliant minds of the planet

Stephen Hawking | RIP | 14. March 2018 truly was the greatest human of all time. of the past, present and future :(

One of the greatest minds in the world

The voice of the machine for Stephen hawking is just like spodermen

There is nothing bigger or older than the universe. The questions I would like to talk about are: 1. Where did we come from? 2. How did the universe come into being? 3. Are we alone in the universe? 4. Is there alien life out there? 5. What is the future of the human race? Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time. Then it was discovered that the universe was expanding. Distant galaxies were moving away from us. This meant they must have been closer together in the past. If we extrapolate back, we find they must have all been on top of each other about 15 billion years ago. This was the big bang, the beginning of the universe. But was there anything before the big bang? If not, what created the universe? Why did the universe emerge from the big bang the way it did? We use to think that the theory of the universe could be divided into two parts. First there were the laws like Maxwell’s equations and general relativity that determine the evolution of the universe given its state over all space at one time. And second, there was no question of the initial state of the universe. We have made good progress on the first part and now have a knowledge of the laws of evolution in all but the most extreme conditions, but until recently we have had little idea about the initial conditions for the universe. However, this division into laws of evolution and initial conditions depends on time and space being separate and distinct. Under extreme conditions, general relativity and quantum theory allowed time to behave like another dimension of space. This removes the distinction between time and space, and means the laws of evolution can also determine the initial state. The universe can spontaneously create itself out of nothing. More over, we can calculate the probabilities that the universe is created in different states. These predictions are in excellent agreement with observations by the WMAP satellite of the cosmic microwave background, which is an imprint of the very early universe. We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence....... vialogue.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/ted-talks-worth-talking-about-stephen-hawking/

this man is remarkable

"I have been very lucky that my disability has not been a serious handicap. Indeed, it has probably given me more time than most people to pursue the quest for knowledge." - Stephen Hawking Why did this quote strike me? It reminds me that people that experience a serious mishap, are the ones that truly recognise and appreciate the value of life. This mishap/near-death experience serves as a wake-up call to them, something to ponder on when they're alone with their thought. 'What if that day was the last day of my life?' This makes death more tangible, more visualizable, closer to their sensation. In doing so, they strive to make life more meaningful, more worth it, more impactful. Focusing purely on what truly matters to them. Here, this quote highlights that the "quest for knowledge" as Stephen Hawking's true priority in life. And this ted talk was the evidence that he has made progress to pursue his own priorities in life. This truly made his life worth living. Relevant quote - "Death gives life meaning"

I was supposed to have an interview with Steven hawking when I was 6-7 years old because of my health at the time [some new illness that I was the first to ever have honestly I have no idea I woke up and my body was paralyzed from the waist down] and I never even realized how weird that was until a couple years ago . Rip Steven hawking a brilliant mind.

i miss this guy man

I must say he has shown some very interesting findings. Wish I would of known more about him before he passed. I seek knowledge whether I agree or not.

We lived in an era where centuries from now they will quote this man. That's amazing!!!

The subtitles made me cry, almost!

Stephen Hawking is a genius..

You know, it's sad that some people make fun of him having to talk through a computer. But you realize that's his amazing mind typing all that in with his cheek muscle? All this smart science sh!t! I love this man for his intelligence and the amount of effort to prepare these amazing speeches. I honestly don't hear the computer, I hear the amazing mind of Stephen. He's absolutely incredible. I would pay to go one of these speeches.

You'll never be forgotten stephen... we will miss you

When you think about it, once you've achieved such knowledge, if he was a dousch, he would probably think of us as the cripples, rather then himself, as he's achieved a higher understanding of the world around him, and has ascended in knowledge in general, lol so did albert einstein.

Imagine smoking a j with him and letting him just blow your mind lmaoo

I learned many things from his written book "A brief History of Time ." I am much indebted to Prof. Dr.Stephen Hawking., a great silent genious ever lived on earth in our time. He is successful to complete his life cycle worthily as Physicists .I have all honours due to him in my heart.Peace be upon Prof Stephen Hawking .

When I was in class 5 and first time I was known about the universe and its indefinite size; i started to imagine that if nothing had existed then what would happen nothing; no earth ,no sun, no solar system, no universe and no anything; this thought always made my head burst out; I couldn't control my mind and thought; Nowadays sometime even this thought comes and I try to deviate my thought to other path; Even nowadays if I think like that my mind burst out.....😢😢😢😢

He is amazing, I love his work, and also his sense of humour as well

I miss him man..

Rest in peace, Stephen Hawking (Pi Day 2018). I suppose now you have clearer answers to your big questions.

Genius man, brilliant legacy R.I.P. Stephen Hawking, you will be missed dearly.

RIP Stephen Hawking :(

Rest In Peace my friend

Good night forever Stephen Hawkins... may your words echo the universe for years to come

He proved more than we can understand but we can still not figure out what this all actually means. I hope we can at least be respectful of not understanding a lot and take the responsibility by admiting it instead of blaming our shortcomings on his intelligence. He can only prove what we are able to understand. That goes for all the scientists as they will never be able to prove what we are not able to get

Everyone should take science as a subject it will make you rethink about life on earth ,the extinction events ,the universe ,and whether we at all are relevant in this place call earth for which we are fighting on grounds of politics and religion ...

In order to go out into the universe we first must create a system of transportation which allows us to go faster than light. In my opinion the best way of achieving this is by creating a warp drive which allows us to bend space time so that journeys which are normally 60 billion light years away into journeys which take 2 weeks give or take. However to achieve this goal we need to understand how space time works. I predict that space time is the use of gravitational potential energy around galaxy's which keep solar systems in alignment and areas of space time with simply the depths of space in it is causing galaxy's to move away from each other. The force keeping the planets in alignment with each other is called dark matter and the force pushing galaxy's away from one another is dark energy. Despite the fact that we don't know much about these forces, I feel that dark matter is just a force which apples to entropy. With this in mind we could very soon have technology which would help us use this force to our advantage and warp space time to bring us to distant worlds. Afterwards we need to use dark energy (which could also be entropy) to warp space time back to how it was originally. If this is true then distant worlds could be at our fingertips. Like and share this comment if you liked the theory.

Today i have read about your life in my school. you are the example of the world that nothing is impossible in this world you have proved this..

I accidently paused the video and was just sitting there waiting for him to carry on speaking 🤦🏽‍♂️

Our knowledge of the universe will always keep changing! We will never know the absolute truth of the universe. The big bang is only a theory, who is to say that a new theory come I the future. Maybe smarter people then Stephen Hawking.

He is tremendously remarkable. What a human being!! I have the utmost respect for Stephen Hawking

Rip another genius gone❤️

Fitter, happier, more productive.

Bless you Stephen Hawking even in you're dying moment, sometimes I like to believe you where still here with an well ablated body.

3:24...clearly no one was listening haha

Damn fucking hawking man just called out alien watchers, "why would they only appear to cranks and weirdos", haha!

People who still believe in a Deity anno 2015 lack the ability to think rationally in my humble opinion. I fail to see the difference between God and Santa. Every religion is based on blind faith. And doesn´t the existence of many religions discredit them all? I think the beauty of life lies in the fact that it ends with death. Would a flower still be as beautiful when it´s there for all eternity to observe. Would you love your child as much as you do when you have the certainty that you will be together forever? I think not. The sheer fact that we are very much aware that time waits for no one makes it have that much more value and makes us cherish our loved ones so much more. To end on a lighter note. Mister Hawking is an amazing man and one of the best ventriloquists I´ve ever seen. p.s. If my spelling is bad it´s because english isn´t my maternal language. Have a nice day.

ALSO LONG LIVE< STEPHEN HAWKING!!!!!!

He is a very good physisist. Not sure though if I believe what he said about not surviving on Earth for the next 100 years. We survived so far, so nothing is impossible. And the most dangerous people behind this are the rich ones, the world's elite where every war comes from

Wonderful man!!!

I visit this channel to learn more and practice my english to be fluent

Steven hawking was so cool lmao

one thing that i dont get, is how that little robotic voice thing really knows what this man Steve Hawkins REALLY wants to say...

Rip. Your work will forever impact our lives.

Stephen Universe.

HE IS A LEGEND. RIP.

I feel really bad for him being paralyzed, but how did he have children? Did he adopt them or what?

R.I.P

I had no idea how funny his sense of humor was! Great guy and great mind RIP Sir!!!!!

I do agree with almost everything Hawking's has described. He is like a hero to me and a living legend. It takes just a single cell of sperm to create a human being with a such a vast horizon of knowledge, imagination and a to thrive for complex reasoning to understand cosmological mysteries and the beginning. A universe of a size of a proton could cause this whole universe to create, I believe it but who created that proton? Whenever there is a dead end, they call it Big Bang. Everything in the universe is in balanced state. A scientist should never believe in coincidences. I am not arguing that there is a God who created everything who handles the Quantum Mechanics and mysteries which is still unknown to us. All I want is still some strong explanations which would reveal the true reason of us here in Earth which is perfectly orbiting around the sun and having the right temperature and conditions to sustain a life. Why there is no life in Mercury? Why there are no human beings or any living creature there who's body was developed in such a way that it could take a heat of 427 degree Celsius and they could live happily over there? We are born and we die eventually, somehow this explain the balancing of energy but there is something more than an energy. If our bodies are just materialistic thing I would rather call ourselves a potato. Intelligence is not an accident !! If any universe was collapsed and Big Bang happened, we are the result of it then would it be fair to say that it is a continuous process? Hats off to the Time Dilation Theory of Hawking's. I am proud to live in the time where we are having such a remarkable physicist and cosmologist

Trying to keep the tears back... :(

He is so smart it makes me laugh. His response to the alien question is spot on.

• *THE TRUTH OF LIFE* • _TRUTHCONTESTCOM_

“The universe can spontaneously create itself out of nothing” If it was anyone besides him saying that everyone would be like what you smoking bro

Thank you for all your wisdom, enlightening and for open new frontiers, in my mind and in our planet. Engage!

merci stephen hawking rip

all we need to do is make sure we keep talking.

Thank you professor. Rip💜

People compare him to Isaac newton and albert einstein

I think he is an amazing human. I'm trying to studying about who he is and what he dose I'm in the 9th grade. Unfortunately its to complex and I can barley pass pre algebra so what he was talking about is way to complex. Hopefully I can learn more about him and what he dose, this summer. 🌺💜

Oh yeah! 20622nd person to like this video.

Greatest Mind..... I think that word isn't enough for Professor Hawking ......How can a Human is such Intelligent........I think He is a Super Human

Hawking is amazing, he faced/faces such hardship and yet still manages to keep his humor. I think that's pretty amazing, not to mention he could outthink anyone on this planet, but that's a given.

He is one of the greatest minds to of ever lived. This is the type of person the youth should strive towards being like.

The answer of our survival is to get right with God...

(Joke) How do we know that it isn't just his computer talking? Maybe he built the machine and it has taken control! O.o

If you ever want to feel better about yourself and your place in this world, just watch a video like this and then read the RU-vid comments. There really are some stupid, awful human beings here.

Sir Stephen Hawking is so Godgifted to the mankind ! ThankyouHawking !!"

So how will the professor explain witchcraft, sorcery, healing, spiritism generally? Does he have physical or chemical explanation to these too?

Guys, guys wait! It's 2014... It would be really sad if you really believed in any god/gods.

If there were a "god"... It would be him

what an amazing man

if steven hockings so smart why can eh not wock?

I’m here listening to Stephen

if steven hocking is so smart y he cant walk

Rest in peace :(

Stephen Hawking is smart individual, I like when he speaks

Thank you. #RIP

Carl Sagan told the same thing. We must follow these words. Save, protect, care for environment (Mother Nature).

Thank you Mr Hawking for the magnificent book "The Grand Design"

It will be a long time until we see the likes of this man again....genius is the only word.....

Stephen you have and will change the world forever your AMAZING Man keep up the good work

Omg.. I am in 2023 this is before 15 years... I missed this man🥲🥲

Everybody loves you Sr.

Could the Universe be infinite ∞ like our number system with the positive and negative numbers extending into infinity? It seems to me that if our Universe was not infinite then our number system would not have the infinite structure that it has!

After watching this. Im reading the comments in my mind with the voice of Hawking.

Stephen Hawking Is a smart guy I like when he speaks on things. The man has a great record

What Mr. Hawking says in the end is so damn true.
