Stephen Hawking's Universe
Biography of stephen hawking (19420BC) stephen hawking's parents lived in London where his father was undertaking research into medicine.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/html/home.html

Extractions: "Where do we come from? How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? How will it end? "All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear, and deceptively simple. But the answers have always seemed well beyond our reach. Until now. "The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of galaxies, in a universe that is infinite and expanding. But this is far from the end of a long history of inquiry. Huge questions remain to be answered, before we can hope to have a complete picture of the universe we live in. "I want you to share my excitement at the discoveries, past and present, which have revolutionized the way we think. From the Big Bang to black holes, from dark matter to a possible Big Crunch, our image of the universe today is full of strange sounding ideas, and remarkable truths. The story of how we arrived at this picture is the story of learning to understand what we see."

Stephen William Hawking - Die Belegarbeit
http://www.guether.de/hawking/

Extractions: Stephen W. Hawking Das Inhaltsverzeichnis Das Werk Der Urknall - Allgemein relativistisch betrachtet Der Urknall - Quantenmechanisch betrachtet Die Umkehrung des Zeitpfeiles? "Denn dann würden wir Gottes Plan kennen..." Anhang Die Kurzbiographie Das Personenverzeichnis Der Literaturnachweis [Inhalt] [Seite: Seite 3 Die Einleitung "Zur Weihnachtszeit gingen wir immer zum Weihnachtsmärchen. Einmal zeigten sie Aladin. In einer Szene wurde Aladins Palast von Zauberkräften emporgehoben und flog durch die Luft davon. Als wir das Theater verließen, brauchten wir lange, um nach Hause zu kommen, weil Stephen darauf bestand, nach dem Palast zu suchen. Er wußte, daß Dinge, die nach oben fliegen, auch wieder herunterkommen müssen. So war er davon überzeugt, daß dieser Palast irgendwo in Hampstead zu finden sein müsse. Es dauerte lange, bis wir ihn davon abgebracht hatten." Damit nicht genug. Obwohl er ein hochrangiger Wissenschaftler ist, besitzt er unter den Jugendlichen von heute Kultstatus, der höchstens mit Einsteins Popularität vergleichbar ist. Sein populärwissenschaftliches Buch "Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit" wurde weltweit über zehn Millionen Mal verkauft. Und natürlich gibt es auch einen Stephen Hawking Fan-Club in Chicago. Er wird als "Einsteins Erbe" und "Master of the Universe" bezeichnet. [Inhalt] [Seite: Seite 4

Stephen Hawking Rettet Die Menschheit
Goedart Palm berichtet auf heise.de ¼ber die kontroversiellen Aussagen Hawkings, DNAveredelte Menschen m¼ssten intelligenter werden, um nicht die Weltherrschaft an Computer abzutreten. Inklusive Benutzer-Kommentaren.
http://www.heise.de/tp/deutsch/inhalt/glosse/9448/1.html

Extractions: Nun ist diese Befürchtung nach Myriaden von Sci-Fis, die den Albtraum in jeder erdenklichen Weise durchdekliniert haben, nicht allzu originell, aber Hawking hat wenigstens ein hochpraktisches Rezept parat, diese Bedrohung listenreich zu kontern - ganz nach Albert Einsteins Formel "Intellektuelle lösen Probleme, Genies verhindern sie". Menschen müssen klüger werden. Das ist eine Idee, die auch jenseits der vermeintlichen Bedrohung durch megakluge Rechner ihren humanen Charme hat. Aber der Appell des Naturwissenschaftlers richtet sich nicht an desolate Bildungseinrichtungen, etwa an den hoffnungslos antiquierten Betrieb der Alma Mater, sondern direkt an die Biowissenschaften. H Scheint so, dass das "HAL-Syndrom" nun auch zeitverzögert seine infektiösen Wirkungen in Cambridge entfaltet. HAL, der Supercomputer aus Kubricks 2001, musste ja schon erfahren, was es heißt, sich mit machtbewussten Menschen anzulegen. Der damalige Retter der Menschheit, Astronaut Dave Bowman, war allerdings - rein dna-technisch betrachtet - nicht intelligenter als HAL. Er raubte der künstlichen Intelligenz schlicht den elektronischen Lebenssaft. So simpel ist das: "Hör' auf, Dave. Ich habe Angst." HAL`s intelligente Ressourcen reduzierten sich dann auf das erste Lied, das ihm seine menschlichen Schöpfer einspeisten: "I am half crazy" (In deutscher Übersetzung trällert er "Hänschen klein") - und segnete damit doch sehr menschlich und herzergreifend das Zeitliche.
Reason: Leaping The Abyss: Stephen Hawking On Black Holes, Unified Field Theory,
Interview in which stephen hawking discusses black holes, unified field theory, and Marilyn Monroe.
http://reason.com/0204/fe.gb.leaping.shtml

Extractions: Stephen Hawking seemed slightly worse, as always. It is a miracle that he has clung to life for over 20 years with Lou Gehrigs disease. Each time I see him I feel that this will be the last, that he cannot hold on to such a thin thread for much longer. Hawking turned 60 in January. Over the course of his brilliant career, he has worked out many of the basics of black hole physics, including, most strikingly, his prediction that black holes arent entirely black. Instead, if they have masses equivalent to a mountains, they radiate particles of all kinds. Smaller holes would disappear in a fizz of radiation a signature that astronomers have searched for but so far not found. The enormous success of Hawkings 1988 book, A Brief History of Time , has made him a curious kind of cultural icon. He wonders how many of the starlets and rock stars who mentioned the book on talk shows actually read it. With his latest book

A Brief History Of Time - Stephen W. Hawking
quotations from the stephen W. hawking book.
http://www.generationterrorists.com/quotes/abhotswh.html

Extractions: Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory... Each time new experiments are observed to agree with the predictions the theory survives, and our confidence in it is increased; but if ever a new observation is found to disagree, we have to abandon or modify the theory. Today scientists describe the universe in terms of two basic partial theories - the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics... The general theory of relativity describes the force of gravity and the large-scale structure of the universe, that is, the structure on scales from only a few miles to as large as a million million million million (1 with twenty-four zeros after it) miles, the size of the observable universe. Quantum mechanics, on the other hands, deals with phenomena on extremely small scales, such as a millionth of a millionth of an inch. Unfortunately, however, these two theories are known to be inconsistent with each other - they cannot both be correct. The discovery of a complete unified theory, therefore, may not aid the survival of our species. It may not even affect our life-style. But ever since the dawn of civilization, people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable. They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world. Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest. And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.
[gr-qc/0204061] Quantum Cosmology And Eternal Inflation
A lecture from The Future of Theoretical Physics and Cosmology series in honor of stephen hawking.
http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0204061

Extractions: This contribution consists of two parts. In the first part, I review the tunneling approach to quantum cosmology and comment on the alternative approaches. In the second part, I discuss the relation between quantum cosmology and eternal inflation. In particular, I discuss whether or not we need quantum cosmology in the light of eternal inflation, and whether or not quantum cosmology makes any testable predictions.

Quantum mechanically, black holes radiate, with a radiation known as Hawking radiation, after the British physicist Stephen Hawking who first proposed it. The animation at top left cartoons the Hawking radiation from a black hole of the size shown at bottom left. The blobs are supposed to be individual photons. Notice, first, that the photons have `sizes' (wavelengths) comparable to the size of the black hole, and, second, that the Hawking radiation is not very bright - the black hole emits roughly one photon every light crossing time of the black hole. So a black hole observed by its Hawking radiation looks fuzzy, a quantum mechanical object. This is one animation that I did not compute mathematically. How do you draw a quantum mechanical object, whose appearance depends not only on the object but also on the way the observer chooses to observe it? I figured my impressionism was good enough here. Hawking radiation has a blackbody (Planck) spectrum with a temperature T given by kT g c c r s where k is Boltzmann's constant , hbar = h , and g r s is the surface gravity at the horizon, the

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,4031,00.html

Extractions: 06:03 PM May. 21, 1997 PT Earlier this week, Hawking and some colleagues at Cambridge University in the UK unveiled the world's first supercomputer dedicated exclusively to cosmological research. COSMOS, a Silicon Graphics Origin2000 symmetrical multiprocessor computer, employs 32 RS10000 processors and 8 GB of main memory. Hawking said the high-powered supercomputer was needed because advances in cosmological theory are so complex. "The calculations involved are so enormous they require a state-of-the-art machine," Hawking said, and questioned whether the supercomputer would one day eliminate theoretical physics by solving all the complex problems that face the field today. COSMOS will be used by Hawking and astrophysicists at the universities of Cardiff, Durham, Oxford, and Sussex, as well as those at the Imperial College in London and the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh.
