  • Stephen Hawking is awesome. If you have the time and want to learn more about everything in the universe watch these videos. It leaves you excited and hopes dashed at the same time. Very awesome videos. Watch it unbiased.

  • All this man has to do to find out the answer is to read the first verse in the KJV Bible Genesis 1:1- "In The Beginning, God created the heaven and the earth", and actually the earth isn't billions of years old it's around 6,000 years old...there i just explained something that the most educated and wise professors can't understand...we're not an advanced breed of monkeys we were created in the image of God...God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit...we are body, soul and spirit

  • @shawndixon13 your stupid!! so u actually believe that you are made by god? from what? MUD? CLAY? or something that he could bake in his oven? and if your god so genius, why did he have to create the universe (or outer space for your puny little mind) that we explore today? why he didn't just create the earth and above is your so called heaven and nothing else?

  • @acxzon

    So it is impossible to believe that before God there was nothing, and God created everything out of nothing, but you DO actually believe that before the big bang there was nothing?

  • @sprokkelmof

    who or what created god then??

  • @hetgroot

    What i dont understand is that it is not possible for evolutionists to believe there was nothing before God, but it is actually possible to believe that there was nothing before the Big Bang.

  • @sprokkelmof

    there was someting before the big bang!!!!!!

    a ball of matter.

  • @hetgroot

    Ok fair enough. Where did that ball came from?

    (and to be fair, that ball was not made of matter, but of pure energy. Matter did not exist yet, according to the theories)

  • @sprokkelmof

    ever heard of the big crunch theory.

    it keeps happening(the big bang)

  • @hetgroot

    I actually have. But recent research says that the speed at which the universe is expanding is way to big for gravity being able to pull it all back together; so it is VERY unlikely that a big crunch will happen.

    Try something else on me.

  • @sprokkelmof big chill?

  • @LelouchOfBritannia

    Interesting theory, but the Big Chill has nothing to do with my question about where that ball of energy came from; The Big Chill only predicts what will happen eventually with the energy/mass of that ball.

    My question was where the ball of energy came from, and thats why hetgroot started talking about a Big Crunch

  • @sprokkelmof

    Think it this way, what if for every BLACK HOLE created by the explosions of a dying star(super nova) in THIS UNIVERSE, is there a universe inside it, we cant tell that is true but what if and it is possible, so our own universe is possibly a BLACK HOLE outside another universe,..

  • Where can i donate my body to Stephen Hawking?

  • Forget It, I posted what I wanted to say in my last comment...

  • Hello, when I watch the video, I felt that hawkings theory is really amazing and animations, tricks and lighting used here is something like hollywood movie scene. I dont know physics but as a biologist, In most of the instances, I put the question myself as "what is the view of other living creatures about this universe?". It is simply because no one human being is alike in all respect, accordingly the views must be differ at species level... probably our ancestors belief in god may b true.

  • Hello, I am a just a kid.

    i found this video amazingly interesting and scientifical i have watched this video over 10 times, all three full episodes. i love it! i just have one question, isn't one of the laws of physics: to be a inside there must be a outside. i have asked my dad, my mom, and no one has the answer can you help me?

  • @GMJmachinima Maybe that rule only applies on earth, not in space. But I might be wrong.

  • tnx for uploading

  • 6 people are idiots

  • @roax12590 ok I don't understand what ur talking about tree of knoweldge and what not, I've actually been gaining pleanty of knowledge for one check out this video. are there creatures like the nephilim? On YouTube

  • it's really sad, I'm a chirstian with beliefs in many conspiracys, and there's one where they talk about the ilumaniti and the main stream media (television/tell lie vision)?? like a video like this would be the perfect way to turn many people away from their true beliefs . I'm not sayins this video dosent prove good points but come on were in revelotionary warfare. Think about it.

  • @Jamaicanhustla101 this video deals in fact not fiction...it represents the will of many like hawking who seek real answers to the important questions. if people are dissuaded from there faith after watching this. it's because they have eaten from the tree of knowledge and are hungry for more. i see nothing wrong with this

  • @Jamaicanhustla101 #i honestly dont understand what your trying to say?

  • everytime i hear this man, i shed a tear

  • "Check It Out."

    Stephen Hawking is not only a modern-day genius, he's just plain badass.

  • Free inexhaustible energy is real!But the Big corporations spend millions to ensure that information does not spread to the masses,Find this technology at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be part of the revolution!

  • 04:40 Simply materialized out of nothing? For shame! Stephen knows better than to say that. The truth is that about a Planck-time after the Big Bang is simply as far back as our science currently goes. We *don't know* where space-time, and matter-energy came from. We have no testable theories regarding where it came from. Deniers love to latch onto and ridicule the "materialized out of nothing" line. When in fact, science doesn't say that at all. Only documentary authors using sloppy language.

  • There are 2 things that have not been observed using modern scientific inquiry:

    1. The supernatural: God or Gods, demons, ghosts, etc.

    2. Nothing, or the absence of anything.

    Since we cannot study "nothing," or the absence of anything under any conditions whatsoever, it is rational to conclude that "nothing" does not exist. Therefore presenting an argument for creation such as "You can't get something from nothing" is invalid since the state of "nothing" does not exist.

  • @richienrg "Nothing" is not, in and of itself, beyond the realm of scientific study, just because it's nothing. The real problem is that at time 0, our model yields unrenormalizable infinities all over the place. Thus we can't forensically track back to it, or beyond it, to what came before. So we simply cannot say, at this time, what came before.

    Of course, according to QM, even the space between the rarefied H atoms in space is a roiling sea of virtual particles, as allowed by Heisenberg.

  • @sbergman27

    he's right though. Before the big bang existed Nothing. Nothing existed so matter, space and time materialised out of nothing-ness.

    Deniers can scramble at this one forever but it will never prove anything. It just means we don't know what 'nothing' is yet (i.e a realm where time and space does not exist)

  • @Jools86 No. We have no testable theories which can describe the moment of the Big Bang or before. Thus we *cannot say* where our Universe came from, while staying true to the scientific method. In fact, what currently untestable theories that we have (Brane Theory, etc.) *do not* assume that there was nothing before the Big Bang. Sometimes when physicists get on TV, they get carried away and use sloppy speech. This is such a case.

  • WHATS THE BEGINNING  SONG !

  • pfff... im smarter than him

  • @HeteroProductions Smart being a moron, then yes. :)

  • @philobiology has no sense of irony

  • @zookydragon has no sense of ironical responses.

  • It´s amazing how this man, even do stopped by so many things, still fights on and comes over the obsticles just to SHOW US at least a piece of his great knowledge. That makes him a hero in my eyes and I think the least we can do is at least take a second and think about what he is telling us.

    What is knowledge if not shared?

  • What fantastic documentary. Hawking was fantastic as usual and the overall production was over the top. Discovery channels rules!! If more people watched the Discovery Channel as opposed to Jersey shore or American Idol we might have a better chance

  • Prof,Hawking wrote in the final page of Brief History of Time.

    "For then we will understand the mind of God"

    Well I personally intend to understand the mind of Hawking : )

  • i love this show. It presents things in a way that's understandable, and not necessarily dumbed down. It allows me to make sense of the abstract notions I've seen in physics courses, and yet only vaguely understand.

  • chuck norris made everything...

  • 5 people failed physics

  • wHY THE HECK IS THIS important.

  • @madogmgd if you don't like it then don't waste your time searching for it on youtube just to comment saying that.

  • "We may only be an advanced breed of monkey, living on a small planet but we able to contemplate the universe as a whole which makes us very special" lol, I love these words!

  • he is such a great man... thumbs up to you sir!!! (^_^)

    such a great talent and mind,

  • A much better role-model than Wayne Rooney or Miley Cyrus.

  • @gravelinablender Ummmmm Wayne Rooney...A role model? Nah mate , Crouch is a role model. But no one is like stephen Hawkings in terms of Role model.

  • This guy is a brilliant! I watched this last night on discovery.

    He is also a prime example of how machines even as of today can keep people alive! (and lets hope he continues on)

  • i really like how they did this show, they start with him talking, then another person announces what hawking says, but they return to hawking throughout the show and he talks.

    very well done and fascinating

  • If it we'rent for Stephen hawking i'd give up my love for science,I've gave up my pride,I've gaved up everything.But he shows me that even it's near to impossible it's always more near to possible...Long Live Stephen Hawking the one most intelligent man who has ever lived in history :D

  • Professor Hawking's voice is mesmerizing. I love the intro, it's absolutely wonderful. I would have loved this documentary even more, had it been entirely narrated by him, with his voice, and not someone else's.

  • @SPORTGOALS if u say stephen hawking is a jackass then i will hope you get killed by chopped into pieces and get burned to nothing by fire :D

  • he is god

  • The opening gives me goose bumps every time i hear it.....

    "although i cannot move and i have to speak through a computer in my mind I am free"

  • @chrispydogs yeah. it's like some kinda strong punchline that i can't get out of my head. such powerful words. :)

  • @chrispydogs

    Same here it too gives me goose bumps.

  • @chrispydogs - I agree. It is a wonderful opening.

  • ok this is interesting but IF it happened this way

    where did the first ball of energy come from???

  • @daanyame

    Just as it is with particle/anti-particles appearing from nothing and combining again; the first fluctuation (potentially) could have come the same way.

    The sum total of which may well be zero.

  • @daanyame

    That first orange ball thingy which exploded to form the universe came from God's bowel movement

  • Stephen Hawking is our father! 

  • great quality

  • We know only a fraction of the truth. Science is created by humans like Stephen Hawkins but it is not the truth and neither is "accurate" and therefore it is not the answer to "everything". Stephen claims that he has figured everything out but he does not know that he does not know. There are more truth than some inconsistent inaccurate human based scientific formulas.

  • Prof. "Hawking" is the " Micheal Jordan" of Cosmology .

  • The universe glitters like a christmas tree. [/christians' proof of god]

  • I don't have television cables but, I got internet. Thanks to youtube, I could watch it anytime.

  • I think this is a great documentary. Thanks for Youtube we can watch it. Really eye-opening, for me especially the comment about: in the universe there is no perfection. Great for every day life also...

  • I think this is a great documentary. Thanks for Youtube we can watch it. Really eye-opening, for me especially the comment about: in the universe there is no perfection. Great for every day life also...

  • STEPHEN HAWKING 4EVER!!!!!

  • @novanine9 who are you to say stephen hawkings is wrong?

  • @novanine9 who are you to say stephen hawkings is wrong?

  • @Jweify - It's just my opinion, concluded from the facts around me. I'm surprised that someone of Stephen's stature has not realized these things.

  • @Jweify Take it easy, we all know the effect of drug abuse among the circles of so-called artists...

  • come'n guys itz just time-space theory...What does BIBLE has to do with it????

  • common guys...thisz just time-space theory...where the hell BIBLE has to do with it....

  • <3 that Porsche.

  • what happened to him like whats his condition i never knew

  • @jatwood29 On wikipedia you can read all about him. :)

  • @jatwood29 Stephen Hawking has Lou Gehrig's disease, a condition which degenerates the central nervous system's ability to control muscle movement. He was diagnosed when he was 21 years old.

  • Everthing just materialized out of nothing, from nothing, and without a creator. LOL Wishfull thinking for many, but there is someone in charge of all of this.

  • @virtualguitarist well yeha u gotta point man

  • we are trying to find out what that nothing is, and i think its very unlikey that "someone" is in charge of of all this, thats earth talk! just because there is someone in charge of things here doesn't mean its universal, and dont get all pissy just trading oppinions.

  • @dwain1987 That's why it is taking you so long to find that "nothing." It will take some imagination to invent a story that people will buy instead of looking at the obvious evidence staring us in the face.

  • @virtualguitarist I can't see any evidence of a creator... maybe it will take long time to find him out as well... or maybe because there's no creator^^ we can't say god doesn't exist, and we can't say he does, but at least we CAN'T SAY THERE IS AN EVIDENCE that he does or doesn't ! that's pretty stupid

  • @BFOSofficial Well keep looking, because we Christians see all kinds of evidence, it just takes some people longer to see it. To bad for the many that never will. PEACE

  • @virtualguitarist well, I am used to be open-minded, so, if something such as an evidence came to me I would have recognized it. I don't reject the idea that there is a god, he just never told it to me, even undirectly ^^ for me, everything can be explained without god, absolutly everything for the moment, so pretending that he exists or not doesn't really matters actually... but I think that if a god there is, he's not human-looking at all, and maybe he just doesn't know we're there^^

  • @virtualguitarist What a waste of a life...

  • @virtualguitarist Wow! That's wrong in so many ways. How about you analyze that "Chirstions see all kinds of evidence" part first

  • @virtualguitarist What obvious evidence?

  • @virtualguitarist and your proof for this imaginary concept is? science does not deal in "wishfull thinking" and to say so only further asserts your arrogance and overall ignorance. people like you are far from qualified to judge the work of brilliant men like Hawking. behind every explanation are the calculations and evidence to prove it. I dare say you would need to study for years just to glimpse it at his level. ignorance for your lot is bliss I guess!

  • @roxas12590 My bible tells me you are a fool. :^[

  • @virtualguitarist your bible was written by fools, primitive men in a turbulent time ignorant of the world around them. and i dare say you probably haven't read half of it.

    so who's really the fool, the college student or the ignorant undereducated theist!

    grow up!

  • Comment removed

  • such a shame ALS has limited him in ways

  • I want this soundtrack!

  • @Truebritt360 i know huh mee 2

  • I hope one day I get to meet this extraordinary man .

    I like how though he may be confined to a wheelchair, he didn't give up the things he loves and he does an Excellent job at that !

    He's my role model !

    Keep up the Great work Professor Hawking

    ``)

  • @LukeOtterbech cool story nerd

  • @slained09 OMG ! Thank YOU !

    : )

    E = mc ^2

  • @LukeOtterbech anytime

  • @slained09 Eat my molecules !

  • @LukeOtterbech lol, he'll be dead by the time you make your mark!

  • Comment removed

  • stephen hawking is just a sheer genius, and his views and anecdotes on the universe, why we are here, how we were created and how we evolved is just blowing my mind !!!!! i can't fathom or grasp the concept !!!just incredible !!! i've always been somewhat religious, and have my beliefs in certain things, but this, and all of what he's what been talking about is unimaginable...believe what you wish, but Hawking is such a genius , that he might not be from this world himself !

  • Lets get our government to spend $760 billion a year on space science and only $4 billion on welfare, not the other away around like it is now.

  • @michael38921:Agreed! 

  • @michael38921 I like how you would choose to cut money from welfare rather than, oh..I don't know, the defense budget. lol

  • @TheyCallMeIndigo I agree! Do you argree in a slight raise in taxes to cover the national debt?

  • @TheyCallMeIndigo I like it too, because we need the defense budget, but welfare creates more and more poor people

  • @michael38921

    Good point.

    Could we also create jobs in space ??

  • @michael38921 I think the money would be better spent in heling the poor, the children who are starving in africa etc.

  • @BritishPatriot3 Although the answers to our own earthly problems may lie elsewhere in the cosmos, in which case Space funding could prove vital in the near future, especially considering new forms of energy supplies, etc. The main cause of poverty and extreme violence stems from all things within that category.

  • @BritishPatriot3 I also wonder why people always mention the starving people in Africa, yes of course what is happening there is terrible, but look a bit closer to home and remember that extreme poverty is also apparent in the UK too, I grew up in a deprived area and your statement proves further that people tend to overlook the problems we face within our own country. You'll walk past a homeless person here on the street, and yet sponsor a child in Africa, hmmm....

  • @djsygardner001 Yea i know, but its harder to help the people in here, just because we live in a society based on greed etc. But you get the idea i am saying, before we ventrue outside out plannet, we should solve the the problems and suffering here first.

  • @BritishPatriot3 I know yeah, I see your point :0)

  • @BritishPatriot3 look at the numbers I posted. $760 billion is already spend on welfare, which does no good. Trading it for other welfare isn't going to advance humanity. We spend 200 times more on people who do not contribute, than we give to those who could unlock the secrets of the universe. Those who wish to make the world a better place are held up and robbed by the government to give to the lazy and listless, purely so they can buy votes.

  • @michael38921 no i still think we should sort out all the problems on our plannet before we learn about stuff that doestn really affect us.

  • @michael38921 How about 1 trillion dollars on space exploration and not on maintaining a world empire that likely will provoke world war 3.

  • @michael38921 Why attack the help-our-disadvantaged-neighbo­r programs? We spend a hell of a lot more money on senseless and destructive causes, euphemistically calling it "defense".

  • Hi, you all advanced breed of monkeys!!! XD

  • I love the soundtrack of the start...I want it :)

  • big bang is just a theory not the truth, all of this is just theory not fact, because he dont' believe in God, science discovered that the world is circle and not flat, but 2700 years ago it was already written in the bible that the earth is circle.

    Isaiah 40: 21-22 It is He who sits above the circle Of the Earth

    Also read the book of Job, he tell us that the earth isn't supported with anything but it is HUNG upon NOTHING. science discovered this just lately but the bible speaks the truth

  • @jovenamago earth is a sphere not a cirlce

  • @underground312 earth is a dot :))

  • @jovenamago Yeah just so you know: A circle is a 2d shape, hence it is flat.

    The bible didn't exist 2700 years ago. Lastly, you don't need to fucking be an astrophysicist to know that the earth is "hung upon nothing"...

    Get your facts straight and maybe your arguments will have some impact.

  • @muzmuzmuz1

    you right no 2,700 because the old testament bible is almost 400AD + the new testament is 2010 to present = 2,400 yrs old

    only when the scientist has a CONCRETE EVIDENCE with the help of satellite and got a picture of the whole earth that it hung on nothing

  • @jovenamago the bible is full of scientific errors

  • Comment removed

  • @jovenamago you brainwashed much?

    if you do belive in god why are you on this page?

  • @bates507 Thats stupid . .

    Doesn't mean you believe in God , you can't be on this page . .

    Ahahahahaahaha . .

    *laugh cough choke fall diee*

  • @jovenamago that's only because those who wrote the bible were not stupid and they imediatly saw that Earth was a sphere, which is not hard to see for a littre-it advanced civilisation

    every scientists always knew that Earth was not flat, even in Europe but religion told them not to talk... that's not because the bible tells something obviously true (it could have said : birds can fly !) that the whole of the story it tells is true

    PS : sorry for my english

  • @BFOSofficial I meant "little-bit" by "littre-it" sorry Lol

  • @jovenamago another dumbass who lack understanding of what a theory is in science.

  • i have a theor on how to break the speed of light but i dont want to post it its is full proof and will be stolen

  • @tisilwm ya dream on

  • wow the best stuff

  • I stopped watching tv a while ago and this reminded me why. they take an interesting subject and then try to make it more interesting by adding 'dramatic' disney music and a narrator who has just passed his, "i know how to emphasise words" test. christ i hate this kind of shite.

  • Most (Atheist - Christian) Scientists believe in a Created history appose to a Big Bang resulting in random chance creating life. when your talking about chance and your looking at numbers as big as 10 to the power of 50 its considered that it couldn't happen, but Hemoglobin has 574 elements from 20 alphabets meaning there's 10 to the power of 650 possible permutations only one is Hemoglobin. DNA = 3million elements, 200 protiens from 20 alphabets with self repair codes and more! Creator? Yes.

  • @iloveredbull Thats just one of the evidences of a creator theres soooo much more just look at 'The institute of creation' and let it speak for its self. God Bless.

  • @iloveredbull

    Mate. DNA and Hemoglobin isn't subject to chance. They are subject to chemistry. By you're logic water would be impossible because the chances would be astronomical. Water however is not impossible; it is very easy to create water. Set fire to hydrogen and Oxygen and you get water.

    (2)H2 + O2 + E(Energy) = (2)H2O

  • @jxvwp Are you seriously comparing water to the complexities of DNA and Hemoglobin? Unless you believe in some sort of creator then if you follow the line back far enough its pretty much chance that anything happened at all.

  • @iloveredbull

    Yes it was chance back at the big bang. But it wasn't throwing the dice chance. The primordial singularity was subject to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle which means that it alone could have had endless possibilities of getting the universe the way we know it.

    And yes I am comparing water to DNA and Hemoglobin. All three are chemicals which means that they are subject to the same rules and forces (electro-magnetism for one).

  • @jxvwp The Primordial Singularity is essentially the fundamental assumption (beliefs accepted without proof) of the big ban theory. Hawkins said "At the primordial singularity, general relativity and all other physical laws would break down: one couldn't predict what would come out of the singularity." once you accept a singularity you must let go of the laws of physics for predicting how the universe might come out of it. I'm uncertain of the reliability of the uncertainty principle.

  • @iloveredbull

    The primordial singularity is a result of the data we got from probes like COBE, WMAP and Planck. That data said that the universe had a hot beginning. Couple that to the expansion of the universe we see from the Hubble Space Telescope and we get either a super-dense universe the smaller than any particles you can imagine or a singularity.

    And the reason the laws of physics break down at 10^-43 seconds after the beginning of time is because gravity and Quantum dynamics don't mix.

  • @jxvwp I can see this is going no where you have a very strong view point, this area of science has too many variations to approach how the universe began, open to arguments especially over youtube.

  • @iloveredbull

    I am open to arguments. I just don't think "god did it" is a valid argument because you then run into two other questions. How did god make it and how was god made?

    So "god did it" is just replacing the "unknown" sticker with a supernatural sticker. It is still unknown.

  • @jxvwp I do feel "God did it" can often be used to often for simply unknown things and can appear to be the easy way out, but I also think for most people that believe in God the science behind a theory ect. is the 'how God did it' part. which obviously can't be tested as its a belief system. The question 'how was God made?' can't be agreed upon because a christian will believe God has no beginning or end and has always been, which will be a completely different view from an athiest.

  • @iloveredbull

    So what you're telling me is that god had way too much time on his hands (and was bored like hell) and then he decided to make a universe. And then he got bored with that and created us so he had some funny creatures he could boss around (bit like C&C)

  • @jxvwp no, from this i can tell you don't really delve into different viewpoints, as i do which is why i was watching this video in the first place and then i can come to my own conclusions. you would understand how narrow minded your comments are had you been more educated in philosophy and religion, not to say you ever will be as you clearly have concrete opinions. i'm not saying your should be but your last comment is just your thought, not what any religious document would state.

  • @iloveredbull

    Apparently not.

    Nut this is how I comprehend the supposed fact that god lived for eternity and the fact that the universe is finite.

    I don't see myself as narrow-minded but maybe I am. Thing is I am not fixated on one particular viewpoint. My idea of the big bang itself is a mess to be honest. It could have been a singular quantum-phenomenon. Or it could have been one of many. Or it could have been some kind of reboot of the universe. Truth be told I don't know.

  • @jxvwp Fair enough, i think we've established where we both stand.

  • @jxvwp It feels strange to come back to a conversation after so long. I'm sure you'll find it funny maybe even reassuring when I say I'm now an Atheist in favour of a metaphysical naturalism worldview, after being a Christian for 18years. I wanted to apologise for accusing you of being narrow minded.

  • @iloveredbull

    Apology accepted.

    I changed channels in the mean time (google wanted to unite the igoogle and youtube accounts and I already had a youtube account on my igoogle account so that sabotaged the process a bit).

  • Respond to this video... I can't even be bothered to explain why there's no point in the comparison between water, DNA and Hemoglobin regardless of what rules there all subject too, especially when talking in terms of complexities.

  • If you are a scientist that does not mean you are an Atheist. It means you are studying how the universe works, not whether or not god created the universe. Fearing what you don't understand is silly.

  • Thinking about the universe and everything in it makes me wanna pull my hair out!!!!

  • This is amazing.

    Also, to you religious arguers, once you explain where God came from, we'll look into where the Big Bang came from.
