Events: A Time magazine Ten Questions Hawking: the universe will expand forever without end
| Event Details:
British physicist Stephen Hawking •
1, Massachu_set_ts Luka • Sands (Luca Zanzi) Q: In your lifetime, what you most want to see a new scientific discovery or scientific progress?
Hawking: I most want to see a practical fusion energy. Because it would provide unlimited energy, and there is no pollution, will not cause global warming.
2, Hal England, Pierre Paul • Wilson (Paul Pearson) Q: Will the universe end? If the answer is yes, then the universe after the end of what is it?
Hawking: current observational data show that the universe is in the process of accelerating expansion, and it will expand forever, and in the process become more open in the dark. While the universe does not end, but it has a starting point for the birth of the Big Bang. You may ask then what is before the birth of the universe? The answer is no so-called "before the birth," as no more than the South Pole in the same place by the South.
3, United States, Georgia Harvey • Besa (Harvey Bethea) Q: Do you think that our civilization can be sustained long enough time, until we have the ability to access more distant space?
Hawking: I think we have great opportunities to other planets in the solar system until the immigration of that day. However, due to the Earth in the solar system can not find more appropriate than a place to live, so I do not know if the Earth is no longer fit to live in whether we can survive, whether the continuation of human civilization. In order to survive, we must explore other galaxies. But this will be a very long process, so we look forward to that day to come!
4, Zhu Conn. Huang (Ju Huang) Q: If you have the opportunity and Einstein dialogue, you and he say?
Hawking: I will ask him: Why do not you believe that the black hole theory? His theory of relativity field equations show that a massive star or a cloud of gas clouds will be its own gravitational collapse to form black holes. Einstein himself realized this, but he somehow has insisted that the explosion will stop the process of collapse, thereby preventing the formation of black holes. However, if the explosion did not happen so it?
5, Basel, Switzerland, Ba Sangta • Paula (Basanta Borah) Q: If God does not exist, then why the concept of the existence of God will be accepted around the world?
Hawking: I never said God does not exist. God in fact is that people give the reason why we take the existence of a name. But I think we can exist because the basic laws of physics, not a personal relationship that we can work with an individual. So I see it as a "natural" God.
6, Seattle's Elliott • Gibson (Elliot Giberson) Q: Do you think that after death, consciousness Shang Naqu it?
Hawking: I think the human brain is like a computer, and the consciousness is like a computer program. You off the computer, the program will stop running. In theory, consciousness should be able to rebuild the neural network, but it is very difficult, because it will need to enter a person's memory of all information.
7, Carolina, Missouri, USA • Jill Moore (Carol Gilmore) Q: You are an eminent physicist, you have some common interests?
Hawking: I like all styles of music, from pop music to classical music, to opera. Also, I and my son Tim, like, very like the Formula One car.
8, Finland, Marena • Wei Kula (Marianne Vikkula) Q: Do you think the inconvenience of your body is your scientific research have helped or hindered?
Hawking: Although I am unfortunately suffering from motor neurone disease, but other aspects in addition I am very lucky. I was lucky enough to engage in theoretical physics research, which is a few big problems with physical disabilities will not be one of the areas. I was also fortunate that I wrote the book was very successful.
9, Boston, USA • Susan Leslie (Susan Leslie) Q: Many people want you to answer them all the confusion on the issue of life, you feel this is a great responsibility?
Hawking: Oh, I certainly can not know all the answers in life. Although the physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe formed, but they predict human behavior in limited effectiveness, as predicted too much human behavior need to solve equations. In life, I do not know how to let others happy, especially the women.
10, Germany, Custer • Cruz (Karsten Kurze) Q: Do you think that one day people can understand all the principles of physics?
Hawking: I hope not, as a result I have a job. (Still force)
