En una reciente entrevista (que aquí puedes ver completa y en vídeo), Stephen Hawking nuevamente demostró no solo ser un genio, sino una persona dotada de un excepcional sentido del humor. Ante la pregunta de la reportera de si realmente creía que existía vida inteligente en el universo, Hawking respondió: "Espero que exista vida inteligente en el uni
Lo que he hecho es mostrar que es posible que la forma en que comenzó el universo este determinada por las leyes de la ciencia. En ese caso, no sería necesario apelar a Dios para decidir como comenzó el universo. Esto no prueba que no exista dios, solo que Dios no es necesario.

El astrofísico inglés Stephen Hawking afirmó este lunes que el hombre debe persistir en la exploración espacial con la misma ambición con que se lanzó a la conquista de un nuevo mundo tras la llegada de Cristóbal Colón al territorio americano en 1492.En una conferencia en la Universidad de Georgetown, en Washington, para celebrar los 50 años de la NASA, Hawking señaló que la situación en el mundo es similar a la que reinaba en Europa a finales del siglo XV. "Es posible que (en Europa) hayan argumentado que era una pérdida de tiempo enviar a Colón en una misión inútil", manifestó el teórico de la física cuántica y la cosmología.Hawking, quien sufre esclerosis lateral amiotrópica y tiene que utilizar un sintetizador de voz, acudió al humor para explicar los cambios que
Tariq MalikSenior EditorSPACE.comApril 23, YahooAlien life may well exist in a primitive form somewhere in our corner of the galaxy, famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said Monday.Given the size of the universe, it is unlikely that Earth is the only planet to develop some sort of life, Hawking told an audience at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He added that humanity must embrace space exploration, if only to ensure its long-term survival."While there may be primitive life in our region of the galaxy, there don't seem to be any advanced intelligent beings," said Hawking during a lecture as part of a series commemorating NASA's 50th anniversary this year.The lack of success by the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project to discover signals from an alien c
Stephen Hawking, uno de los mejores astrofísicos de todos los tiempos daba una conferencia en Washintong ayer en la que decía que los humanos debemos confiar en nuestros instintos cómo lo hicieron algunos de nuestros antepasados como Cristobal Colón para poder conseguir llegar más lejos aún en la conquista del Espacio.

You get this statue of Leonardo da Vinci, in front of the Sandy City Library. Here's hoping that the Sandy City Library has a better eye for books than they do for art. I wonder how many books a creepy...
Increiblemente Notable, Increiblemente Geek. Creo que hay muchas formas de tomarse este “trabajo artistico”, principalmente creo que es un tributo al gran cientifico, aunque tal como se comenta en algunos blogs, podemos empezar a creer que todo el universo es una gran ensamblaje lego.
by CheddarAt Goldmind’s Unwind, we frequently receive kind letters from you, the viewer. Some is congratulatory in nature; others contain random death threats; some, marriage proposals. (no means no drtygrl69@Spewmail.com!) Recently, however, I (Cheddar) received an odd email that may expose one of the greatest fraud scams in the history of the world. I am copying the email below.Dear Cheddar,I’ve been searching the web for weeks looking for the right candidate to whom I can unburden myself with information so explosive, it could shake the very fabric of space and time. I occasionally enjoy Cheddar Cheese, and realized it was destiny’s hand leading me to you. You cannot know my identity, so please do not attempt to trace this email and ignore my name, cell number, and home address in the signature line.For three years, I have been shadowing famed physicist Stephen Hawking. I’ve followed his wheelchair through malls, campuses, back alleys, and unsightly gas station restrooms con
When any discipline of knowledge reaches its zenith, it is quite likely to begin to talk of God. This is true, as the foregoing pages make out not only of Whitehead but also of many other scientists, the latest of them being Stephen Hawking, the celebrated author of the best seller, A Brief History of Time. Like Whitehead, he too comes conceptually in the lineage of Einstein. If Whitehead developed the philosophy of process out of Einstein’s theory of relativity, Stephen Hawking evolved his cosmology out of the same theory of relativity. And just as Whitehead struck on the idea of God speculatively while explaining the reality in terms of process, even so Stephen Hawking happened to refer to the idea of God particularly as a matter of protest against the guarded warning of Pope, while tracing the origin of the universe ultimately to the primeval incident known as the Big Bang. In course of attending a conference on cosmology organised by the Jesuits in the Vatican in 1981, and being
I took this screen shot just in case, but for the moment I am the world’s smartest man according to Google, even beating out Stephen Hawking and an autistic savant with an IQ over 210. If you missed my Google experiment and don’t have a clue what this is about, click here.

El astrofísico Stephen Hawking ha cumplido el sueño de flotar en el espacio. Afirma que es una experiencia emocionante y…
Fue increíble. La parte de gravedad cero fue fabulosa. Hubiera querido seguir y seguir
Stephen, quien ha estado la mayor parte de su vida en una silla de ruedas, y uno de los grandes conocedores del universo ha visitado el espacio.
Quiero demostrar al mundo que cualquier persona puede someterse a este tipo de experiencia
El interior de la nave cuenta con varias cámaras de televisión que graban las imágenes de los viajeros, y en el caso de Hawking llevó un equipo médico para vigilar el estado de su turista espacial.
Espero en algun futuro hacer un viaje de este tipo.

A woman known as “the Egyptian Dr. Ruth” is now so popular in the Arab world that she has speaking engagements booked a quarter of a year in advance to talk about sex. She tells her audiences that the Quran encourages more frequent sex, which is a great idea since telling people to do what religious texts say has been improving society pretty much without any hitches for like thousands of years.
Her sex talks have been met with some criticism though, particularly the parts where she says that the Quran also promotes foreplay. In response, religious leaders have claimed to have uncovered an ancient, previously unknown chapter of the Quran all about blowjobs.
Today Stephen Hawking went weightless in a plane over Florida in an attempt to further show off that he is the world’s most sciencey science guy. Come on, the guy’s a genius and he weighs nothing? Can he please just be fat or have some kind of flaw that makes it worth not being Stephen Hawking? Anything? Any
He leido en Internet que Stephen Hawking experimentará la gravedad 0 en un vuelo a 10.000 metros de altitud el 26 de Abril de 2007. En 2006 dijo "La vida en la Tierra está cada vez más en peligro de ser destruida por un desastre como un súbito calentamiento del clima o un virus genéticamente modificado y con otros peligros potenciales", por eso es para él muy importante la conquista del universo. Stephen Hawking es autor de "Historia del Tiempo", donde intenta dar respuesta sin formulas matemáticas a las ideas básicas acerca del origen y del destino del universo que pueden ser enunciadas de tal manera que las personas sin una educación científica las puedan entender; ¿de dónde viene el universo? ¿Cómo y por qué empezó? ¿Tendrá un final, y, en caso afirmativo, cómo será? Hawking también intenta dar respuesta a la famosa pregunta de Einstein sobre si Dios tuvo alguna posibilidad de elegir al crear el universo. ¿Es posible comprender el pensamiento de Dios?. La concl
Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking will soon experience a brief history with weightlessness.Hawking, who uses a wheelchair and is almost completely paralysed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, plans to go on a weightless flight on April 26, officials at the Zero Gravity Corporation said.“As someone who has studied gravity and black holes all of my life, I am excited to experience first-hand weightlessness and a zero-gravity environment,” Hawking said in a statement.The zero-gravity is created onboard a modified Boeing 727 which generally soars to 32,000 feet at a sharp angle and then plunges 8,000 feet so passengers can experience 25-second snippets of zero gravity during the descent. As the plane climbs, passengers experience 25 seconds of being pushed down hard, as they feel 1.8 times the normal pull of the Earth. Zero Gravity CEO Peter Diamandis said assistants will be onboard to help Hawking.“The key thing here is that weightlessness and
