Humans close to finding answers to origin of universe: Hawking

hu Jun 15, 8:47 AM ET

HONG KONG (AFP) - Acclaimed 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.

"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 64-year-old also said his unfulfilled ambitions, among many, were to find out what happens inside black holes, how the universe began and how the human race can survive in the next 100 years.

Above all, he joked, he wants to understand women.

On Tuesday Hawking said the human race should reach for the stars to survive as the Earth is at risk of being wiped out by a disaster.

He believes humans should settle in space, predicting a lunar settlement within 20 years and a Martian colony in 40.

Hawking, a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, speaks with a voice synthesiser and has been in a wheelchair since developing motor neurone disease.

During his Hong Kong visit he also revealed he is writing a children's book with his daughter about theoretical physics.

Hawking is the author of international best seller "A Brief History of Time", which attempted to explain a range of subjects in cosmology, including the Big Bang, black holes, light cones and superstring theory.

He is on a six-day visit to Hong Kong and will meet Chief Executive Donald Tsang Friday before heading to Beijing Saturday where he will give a lecture on string theory.

leave him alone he is still lost and trying to figure out the ways of the universe.

You seem to be oblivious that THIS news is exposition of science AT WORK!

According to you: while the world was waiting for the verification of Einstien's Theory of Gravity, objects stopped falling and suspended in midair waiting for the outcome of the deliberation! Laughing

This is the sort of high caliber intellectuals, scholars and learned men Great Britain throws up; where is the Canadian equivalent of the likes of Professor Stephen Hawkings I ask? Bloody Canadians! The only thing they're good for is sending back American soldiers fleeing the draft.

AA,

What u yakking about this time, me is a world renowned scientist... presently I'm working on my Unformulated Theory of All Theories.

Stay tuned cuz I'm gonna take the world like a whirlwind

Luggoyso,

Don't hate the player, hate the game!

Clearly you're punching above your weight. You, I bet my last dollar, don't know what a theoretical framework/edifice is FOR. Hence your haste dismissal of my article.

Theories EXPLAIN facts, they aren't facts.... the facts pertaining to the origin of the universe will always be a fact. Just as Gravity was always a fact despite the shortcomings of Newton's theory and the further augmentation and replacement by Einstien's theory.

NOW, you're dismissed!

You are even dumber than I gave credit for ya, and one more thing, you just lost your last dollar. If Theoretical Framework is the pillar and foundation of your existence, then you are intellectually cul-de-sac and barren knowledgewise. All this time that I have been exchanging dialogue with you, I swear I thought you were a tad bit smarter/more knowledgeable than where you just put your last dime. Fukken retard

lol @ "I'm working on my Unformulated Theory of All Theories. "

You will let me know once you've figured out your grand theory won't you?

Seriously however DD, why is you bloody Canadians instead of booting American boys fleeing the military draft back to the other side of the border where they're threatened with long prison sentences, not welcoming such conscientious objectors with open arms?

Me desperately wants to know. Wasn't Canada once accepting of GI military deserters during the Vietnam war? What's changed since?

You sure we're expelling AWOL US military servicemen? Sorry but haven't been reading the news lately. But during the V'nam war, Canada was a save haven for deserters.

Sir-Lug,

Please cease your pitiful lamentations!

That is the strategic easy exit for every second hand atheist when caught in their flimsy web of lies and pretentions. You like to use big words whose meanings you have no clue, don't ya? Well think twice b4 you expose your moronic traits in this medium, nacal sinjak yaa axmaq

You mean to say that you were the official responsible for denying my good friend asylum in Toronto? I'm with Sir Lug on this one I'm afraid.

He has every right to be angry. Fear not Sir Lug, we the good people of Britian shall campain on your behalf.

Wallaahi I have seen many doqons in this medium for the long time I have beena member but this dude (Avowedly-Stupid) is the cream of the crop. I have never seen anyone so retarded. Maybe my parents were so nice and shielded me from this type of creation, Subxana-Allah
