I can’t abide “theoretical” “scientists”. Paid so much for doing nothing but sitting around imagining a “Star Trek” future.
Ridiculous.
I dunno - I think he is comparable - they both held the same position.
Oh, I quite agree
But Hawking makes a Fatal Error
He Honored Law (Physics)
Giving his Life to it's Understanding, but
Forgot that the Laws had to come from Somewhere
He Honors the Gift, but
Dishonors the Giver of the Gift
Sad really
Better...
"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the Universe."
-- Galileo Galilei
Hawkings reversed himself on black holes....30 years later...and it’s still up in the air. Nothing against “thinking”.
I wouldn’t say he reversed himself, he just came to realize that the things do evaporate, leaking radiation. Physics is all about refining the theories don’tchaknow.
P.S. Hawkings doesn’t believe in God.....
Indeed! So sad that Paul wrote about Stephen Hawking in the letter to the Romans.
All of his scientific works were merely done in his spare time. LOL ! Isaac Newton spent more than half his life studying the scriptures of the ONE TRUE Elohim.
New experiments done in 2009 disagree with Hawkings.
The last name is spelled H A W K I N G ... there is no “S” on the end.
One massive missing piece in Hawkings’ theory is that whole issue of heat decay. In the process of any energy exchange, there is energy lost through heat. Matter is ultimately degraded into heat via energy exchange. Indeed, there is less matter now than there was but a second ago in the universe.
Thus, at some point in time, this universe had to have an origin. Matter had to be created out of nothing, as any collection of matter if left undisturbed would all decay to heat energy. As matter exists today, it came from something that defies scientific law.
A believer simply sees that as further evidence of the footprints of a Creator which is nice but really is but a footprint as opposed to the very real life of Christ, his Resurrection, and the impact that had upon history, the world, and the individual. For someone who is less sure, it is the first step towards allowing the acceptance of theological belief.
Hawking is a man with talent. It’s a shame he never learned to allow the love of Christ into his soul to drive that talent. He’d be a lot more at peace with life instead of battling endlessly against other with faith. Now he’s stuck in an endless cycle of self-justificaiton and (whether he chooses to admit it or not) guilt.
I agree with you. I firmly believe that there is not, nor can there ever be, a contradiction between science and religion. The same God that wrote the 10 Commandments is the same God that created the DNA molecule. Whatever looks to be a contradiction between the two is only because of gaps in our knowledge and understanding.
All stems from God.
Into blinding darkness enter those who worship ignorance
and into greater darkness those who worship knowledge alone.
Isa Upanishad
Hawking would do well to study outside of his sphere...
An allied problem is the Origin of Order - Entropy
A prime principle of Thermodynamics is that
Unless energy is added into a system,
the system always trends toward a greater degree of disorder
Information is being lost continually.
Where did the information come from?
From whence did the “Order”, that is becoming disordered, originate.
Not only does Matter and Energy have to come “From Thin Air”,
but also all the Order and Information,
that is being continually lost over time
(whatever time is)
If the Universe is a closed system,
then energy is conserved,
Entropy changes dominate
