Tell Me :
Talk
You must be a type 2 person
I suppose it's all a leap of faith really Stoneage, at the end of the day we gather all the facts and make our own minds up as individuals.
Obviously people like Hawking are more equipped than most to say God exists or black holes exist etc.
There was a lovely old Irish comedian ( Dave Allen ) who was very popular when i grew up and at the end of his show he would always say " goodnight god bless and may YOUR God go with you".
That sums it up really, no matter what anyone believes in , if it makes them happy, that's ok , because at the end of the day it's all speculation. Darwin, God, Aliens, spiritualism, conspiracy, religion, its all Theory.
BTW Stoneage i agree with you, i would never listen to a politician, how do you know when a politician is lying, when he opens his mouth.
i see what you did there
Talk about your favorite band.

hawking was a very clever man indeed, but i just didnt agree with everything he said.
there are 3 types of people in this world
1. those that agree with everything they are told without any thought to asking if what they are being told is correct.
2. those that question everything, even when the obvious is true.
3. those that look at everything objectively, ask questions about things they dont understand but look to gain their own understanding.
i think with hawking a lot of people fell into catagory 1, as many people believed everything he said, i never understood his assumption of hawking radiation that comes from a black hole and have even questioned if black holes exist, the question of anti matter and dark matter is not easy to believe too.
also einstiens theory of relativity e=mc2 i dont get either, it contradicts newtons laws of basic physics.
another theory astronomers come up with is time and space bending each other, what rubbish.

"I don't get this"... Well, theoretical physics isn't for everyone. And you're not alone. Probably 99,5 percent of the public don't get it. That doesn't mean that it's not true though. Or false of course.
But I would rather listen to a science professor than a politician when it comes to deciding what's true or not. A third of the American population don't get Darwin either. They prefer a theory (!) called intelligent design. And so on...

I hear you, stone4ever. I might point out, however, that I make a difference between science and religion. Science is evidence based and religion is not. Religion is about faith. I would never compare the two.

File this under one of those "social media posts that go bacterial":
Famed physicist Stephen Hawking died Tuesday at the age of 76, and before he departed this world, he left us with warnings that Earth is headed for a “catastrophic ending” in the near future.
This doom will not come from a fiery asteroid or even global warming, but from rising inequality fueled by increasingly smart robots, Hawking said.
“Intelligent future AI will probably develop a drive to survive and acquire more resources as a step toward accomplishing whatever goal it has, because surviving and having more resources will increase its chances of accomplishing that other goal,” he said in a Reddit Ask Me Anything forum in 2015. “This can cause problems for humans whose resources get taken away.” His solution? We should all leave the planet and find new lives in outer space.

Some genius -- in the end he was merely reading from the Stephen King play book: "Honey, c'mere. This machine just called me an @#$%&!"
