Incredible to think that such a brain could exist in the shell of a thoroughly disabled man.
I wonder what he will make of the afterlife?
A brain like that, can't die - surely?
Amazing man who leaves a big black hole in our scientific thinking. RIP

RIP Stephen,a genius of a guy..
R.I.P. Stephen Hawking.
Always interesting to listen to and with a great sense of humour. R.I.P. Stephen Hawking

I thought they would have replaced him......again.
He didn't believe in God but if there is one what job will he be given?
SH was trying to answer one particular question "Why is there a Universe"?
If God told him because that's what I wanted he would have to be given a job in the garden.
No use for quizzical brains and scientific and mathematical qualifications in the after life--as its all been done.
He didn't believe in God,therefore he could not give us deeper answers to that which is beyond our minds!
Our lives are not according to quizzical brains and scientific and mathematical qualifications, also these scientific and this inteligencia can not solve the worlds problems. When we had the first developers of capitalism,the so called intelligensia ,saw its shortfalls and problems ,and gave us communism, we have seen that failed . All these scientist, all these 'brains ' can not even know the answer to a single question.''Who we really are?'' Therefore not knowing they can not answer a simple question such as, "Why is there a Universe"?
That what we call God is that vast Consciousness around us ,it exists in two parts, qualified Consciousness and unqualified Consciousness. That qualified Consciousnessis, that pure existance feeling also it is in us ,is qualifiying that unqualified Consciousness. To do this it has to create Creation, to bring from the supple unqualified state to crude,and return back to the supple as qualified Consciousness. Humans are the last stage ,so we are born just to complete this,man has a refected consciousness,he can know who he is ,animals do not have this just a simple mind,although some are clever they have not the ability to know who they are. Then mans ultimate aim /goal, is in simple terms, to 'seek God.' That is why the Universe exists!
Very different than what the church etc, teaches, but when science proves the existance of re-incarnation,we will start to think differently.
Sorry Balabam but I can not concede that the universe exists so that man can seek God.
That's like saying I have built ten million factories so that you can find one small, specific, screw.
Anyone who can create a Universe doesn't need a piece of sand (which we are) to have to work through puzzles and tests to find "Him". That concept is almost obscene.
Stephen Hawkins said that the rules of gravity do not need a God to light the touchpaper.
What if the Universe was always here? All 11 dimensions of it (according to Stephen Hawkins).
It didn't begin and it doesn't end.
It follows that the big bang (possibly) simply happened within the Universe--not because of it.
And a conscious, interventionist, supreme being either never existed or has since ceased to exist.
But the Universe goes on.
As an aside, but terribly interesting, is that SH believed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) would see the end of mankind.
He postulated that AI would be able to remodel itself and that Man could not control it.
In other words, AI could become our exterminator and would, in that sense, become our avenging God.
A very smart physicist, but a bit of a tw@t in his personal life, and as for politics, he could talk as much drivel as 59/60 and BT in full lefty, virtue-signalling mode. Beloved by the Grauniad, which tells you all you need to know about him.
RIP Steven.
