Contemporary scientist Stephen Hawking dismisses the
existence of God in an exclusive interview with the British newspaper "The
guardian ", which was announced on May 16, 2011.
Stephen Hawking said: "The belief that a heaven or an after
death awaits us, it is a fairy tale for people afraid of death"
He underlines his firm rejection of religious consolation, the scientist
most eminent of Great Britain said there was nothing beyond the moment
when the brain blinks for the last time.
Hawking, who was diagnosed with the disease of sclerosis
amyotrophic lateral at the age of 21, shares his thoughts on the
death, the purpose of humanity and our possibility of existence; in
an exclusive interview with "The Guardian Today":
Science, truth and beauty: Hawking's answers.
Which is the
value of knowing "why are we here"?
"The universe
it is governed by science, but science tells us that we can not solve
the equations directly from the abstract. We must use the
Effective Theory of Darwin's Natural Selection of those societies, so that
we are more likely to survive. "
You said
that it is not necessary to invoke God to light the fuse, all our
existence is cast to luck?
"The science
predicts that many different types of universes will be spontaneously created
of nothing. This is a matter of chance, for which we are here "
We're
Here, what should we do?
"We
we should look for the greatest value to our action. "
You had a
health alarm and spent time in the hospital in 2009, what, if at all, would you
Are you afraid of death?
"I have lived with
the expectation of an early death for the last 49 years, I do not have
fear of death, but I'm not in a hurry to die, I have many things to do
First. I consider the brain as a computer which will stop working
when its components fail. There is no sky or beyond for computers
decomposed; which is a fairy tale for people who are afraid of what
Dark".
What are the
Which houses do you consider the most beautiful in science?
"Science is
pretty when she makes a simple explanation of the phenomena or connections between
2 observations Examples include the double helix of DNA in biology and
fundamental equations of physics ".
The physicist's statements draw a very marked line between
the use of God as a metaphor and the
belief in an omniscient creator whose hands guide the functioning of the
cosmos.
In the talk, he argued that tiny fluctuations
quantum in the early Universe they became galaxies, stars and in
last instances human life emerged.
At the Google Zeitgeist meeting, his talk focuses on the
M theory, a broad mathematical framework that encompasses String Theory, which is
considered by many physicists as the best hope yet to develop from
a "Theory of Everything".
The M theory demands a universe with 11 dimensions, including
of time and the 3 familiar spatial dimensions. The rest correspond to
some so small for us to be seen.
Evidence of support for Theory M, could come from the Great Collider
of Hadrons (LHC) of CERN, the particle physics laboratory of Europe,
near Geneva.
One possibility predicted by Theory M is Supersymmetry, a
idea that says the fundamental particles have heavy we generate (and still
undiscovered), with curious names like selectrones and squarks.
Confirmation of Supersymmetry would be a blessing of the
M theory and would help physicists explain how each force works in the
emergence of the Universe at the beginning of time.
Another huge discovery at the LHC, that the elusive Bosón de
Higgs, which is thought to give mass to elementary particles, could be
less welcomed by Hawking, who has a strong bet that the long search
of such an entity, it will never be found in the laboratory.
The last comments of Hawking to go further, established
in his 2010 book, "The Grand Desing," in which he stated that there is no
need to explain the existence of the Universe. The book caused a
reaction of some religious leaders, including the chief Rabbi Lord
Sacks, who accused Hawking of committing an "elemental fallacy" of logic.
The 69-year-old physicist felt seriously ill
after his conference tour by the United States in 2009 and was led
Addenbrookes Hospital, in an incident that caused serious concerns about
your health. Since then he has returned to his Cambridge apartment as
director of research.
In his 1988 bestseller book, "A Brief History of Time,"
Hawking relied on Einstein's development, when he described what he could
mean for scientists to develop a "theory of everything" -a whole
of equations that describe each particle and force in the entire Universe.
It would be the triumph of human reason - by then we should know the mind
of God, he wrote.
The book reported selling 9 million copies and boosted the physicist
to instant fame. His fame has led him to appear in "The Simpsons", "Star
Trek: The Next Generation "and" Red Dwarf. " One of his greatest achievements in the
Physical is to describe how Black Holes emit radiation.
At the interview,
Hawking rejected the notion of life beyond death and emphasized the
need to realize our potential on Earth through good use
of our lives.
