Stephen Hawking interviewed on "Yair Lapid"

[Xxcory11xx]

My idol! :)

[asiantwinkiesdotcom]

@thricebaked09 lol

[asiantwinkiesdotcom]

Call me a nerd but he is the smartest man alive!

[thricebaked09]

@asiantwinkiesdotcom lol nerd

[iIncredz]

why the fuck would you ask about the voice in his chair! piece of shit!

[frosti7]

@iIncredz

Actually if you'd posses more brain then a bird, you would realize that it was an original question, and Stephen loved to answer it!

[AADDII558]

Happy 70th birthday Prof. Stephen Hawking :)

[mrjoebsoto]

Anyone who came here to hear if he believes in God, then I will just say it....... HE'S AGNOSTIC!

[LOVE97471]

Stephen Hawking is my roll modal

[wenikalla]

He had some inspiring words.

[AndHellWasSoCold]

His smile is fucking adorable.

[MPSecare]

He's got a fucking great sense of humor, mad respect for people who don't let their shortcomings hold them back. I know perfectally "normal" humans who are all FTW like sucks...

[ImTwixtorXD]

but i don't get it, how does he talk? i mean hes not typing anything into his computer.. i thought he typed things and then the computer put his words into sound.. but its not like that.. i dont get it

[NeonKnightXD]

@ImTwixtorXD He uses DECtalk sound synthesiser system. Read more from wikipedia if you are interested =)

[MPSecare]

@ImTwixtorXD Its kind of like an electronic shorthand text to speech! pretty neat!

[zzPshycoProductions]

Man this guy is amazing...though I don't agree with his religious beliefs...may his forgive him...he has been through so much struggle, it almost made me cry seeing him smile...this guy is a savior for all other disabled people...just cuz your disabled, doesn't mean you cant do something big and enjoy your life

[Tallytiger2324]

LPOPQ. Which makes more sense, God creating the universe which his master mind , or and explosion that somehow created the universe perfectly

[Wh2666]

How does he eat ?

[5jerry1]

@Wh2666

Probably with a straw or some kind of IV drip.

[aryafsharm]

I dunno why stephan hawking keeps calling himself disabled. If he's disabled, I'm a sperm.

[heyitsmemikey0405]

even his muscle disorder doesnt stop him from smiling

[samiam12ful]

He's soo cute

[99dumi]

He is cool, clever awesome, and the disease didn't give him any obstacles in becoming great

[POTATOOFDEATH1337]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha

[NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

@LPOPQ here's why i believe in god: im a very logical thinker, and when you think about it, everything has to have a beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be here. so it only makes that there would be something out there that HAS no beginning or an end for there to be a beginning of anything at all.

[LPOPQ]

This interview was retarded.

[Tallytiger2324]

I do not like him at all. I am a christian and like he said "the universe came from nothing", that's impossible. An explosion can't happen from no elements, someone had to create and form the universe perfectly; God

[rayrayray911]

@Tallytiger2324 Two things. 1. Hawking never said that god didn't exist; he just said that god couldn't intervene or else it would break the laws of physics that Hawking says may have been created by god. 2. I thought christians were suppose to love everybody regardless of their opinion. Isn't that what they say Jesus would want.

[Beornhan]

@rayrayray911 ateizm is disease. and i am too sad that genious got that disease. i dont love him because of his decision but i have respect for him!

[BigLrip21]

@Tallytiger2324 You don't like him because your a christian.. it's actually not impossible that the universe came from nothing..and that explosion is called the big bang. And your wrong he actually proved it can happen if you new anything about science and didn't believe in a fairy tale called heaven -__-

[MrViixi]

@Tallytiger2324 So you believe an explosion can't happen from out of nowhere. But a being which has no physical presence of any kind, can create life. makes no sense at all

[5jerry1]

@Tallytiger2324

"That's impossible." Just like a dead guy coming back to life? Hawking doesn't deny the possibility of a creator. He says any creator who could've made the universe can't interfere with the laws of physics, which makes more sense than most religious dogma.

[gamezonic]

can they turn his head a differnt direction? it creeps me out

[gomar505]

wow..no respect..!!.thank you ...for,forever changing the way we see the universe and ourselves....and perhaps our thought process.

[kungfukathy09]

so so so so clever very clever man

[LN1992]

It's nice to see this guy allowed to show the interview although his ass got kicked by a crippled man. :3

[RelativelyHostile1]

holy shit, these must be the most depressing questions i have ever heard anyone say. whoever chose these questions are arseholes

[edderkoppepigen]

2:20 "but that seems very dificulT" Whats with the T

[blackjack155]

siktiğimin piçleri

[fanofeverything]

"Is it an advantage you have ALS?" might be the stupidest question in the history of journalism.

[MineCrafterCity]

how the fuck is he talking ? :P

[musicallytalented2]

@MineCrafterCity the computer does his talking. its kind of like predicted text with lots of words in menus which he can choose from and make up sentences with a switch in his hand but it can also be controlled by head movements, eyes movements and i read somewhere he can use his cheek too. pretty amazing really.

[TehSxc18yearOld]

i think the future of the human race is in danger if it does not spread out into space.

[Moh1Z]

"It's not enough for me to wear dark glasses and a wig - the wheelchair gives me away" -ROFL He's awesome.

[thedarkesthole]

@RenamedSkateboarding wow you are an idiot

[exygrek]

Well that was Hack-ward

[SportsUpdated]

@exygrek failing to spell a crucial word to an already dead joke is "hawk-ward" :)

[zhebrica]

When Prof. Hawking gives interviews, he gets the questions in advance and pre-writes the answers, because operating his computer is fairly time-consuming. So to be fair to the interviewer, he couldn't have altered the questions in light of previous answers. But I agree, the questions he chose weren't very enlightening.

[runawaywithmarilyn]

what an impressive man.

[scag15]

This interviewer is an idiot. He keeps getting all psychoanalytical on the guy. He's not asking any questions of substance. Because, he's lacking in substance. He asked him if he ever wanted to 'end it all?' What a douchebag!

[okltsply]

@scag15 The dumbest part was that Hawking had just stated earlier that people with disabilities are not second rate and that they should go forward then this guy asks him if he ever feels like killing himself. What an idiot, of epic proportions.

[scag15]

@okltsply Precisely.



[Codude180219]

Inspiring doesn't even begin to sum up Prof. Hawking...

[leatherdust]

Give*

[leatherdust]

They should gove him a sexy lady voice.

[kewkiez7]

that was hawk-ward

[BlockisticStudios]

@kewkiez7

Not calling you out in particular, but my god I am getting a little annoyed by seeing this phrase everywhere.

[NewberYou2ber]

@kewkiez7 You stole that from another video ... :/

[kewkiez7]

@NewberYou2ber It's from the rap battle of history -.-

[jennyteenyful]

@kewkiez7 EPIC RAP BATTLES! :D

[crangesJ]

@hahawutever neither is his fucking face

[crangesJ]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAH LOOK AT HIS FUCKING FACE OMFG HE IS JUST FUCKEDS UP LOOOLLLLLL HIS FUCKING FACE TROLOLOL OMG!!!!! XD

[sn1pe352]

I'm sort of baffled that almost every top (popular) theoretical physicist is planning on exhausting earths natural resources- raping the planet..throwing it away like trash and moving into star-trek spaceships

makes me want to vomit , eat my vomit and throw up again

what in the fuck kind of fluoride-kool aid are they having you guys drink, with your physics textbooks they believe steam engines with whale blubber is the only way to travel

Screw Steven hawking, Read Viktor Schauberger

[tasmLIVE]

Nothing just pops out of nowhere, Hawking. It doesn't take a genius to know that. God is real, the "big bang" is connected in some way. But nothing just appears out of thin air. Not people like us, not a universe like this

[onein468]

@tasmLIVE But wouldn't God have just appeared out of nowhere. I mean, I've heard he's just always been there but doesn't that sound as improbable as something coming out of nowhere?

[GluttonForSex]

@onein468 Religion can't handle the problem of infinite regression.

Faith is based on the assumption that something cannot exist without having been created, and that therefore there must be a creator. Yet this merely kicks the can down the road, as the next question becomes: "Who created the creator?"

If the religious reply that the creator had always existed, they concede that something can indeed exist without having ever been created, discrediting the basic assumption of faith themselves.

[onein468]

@GluttonForSex Thank you.

[PrinzEugenMCMLXXXIII]

@GluttonForSex I guess the main concept of faith is that everything was created by God, except God himself. I suppose that means God existed before the universe as a force in the nothingness, if that makes any sense... But it's not supposed to make sense. And I doubt that faith means believing in a sky daddy. Sky daddy is just an artistic depiction.

[GluttonForSex]

@PrinzEugenMCMLXXXIII If the religious try to deal with the issue of infinite regression by stating that the magical sky daddy always existed, it is an acknoweledgement on their part that something can in fact exist without needing to be created. Ironically, it is that very notion they find incredulous about M-Theory and vacuum quantum fluctuations.

Modern cosmology reveals the possibility that the fundamental laws of physics may have never been decreed at any point, for they were always there.

[PrinzEugenMCMLXXXIII]

@GluttonForSex Yes, I guess they never said that God was created by someone else. They say that everything else EXCEPT God was created by someone, and that was by God. And again, magical sky daddy is just an artistic depiction. The religious dogmas of the world don't say that there's actually a dude sitting on clouds. I'm not familiar with M-Theory and vacuum quantum fluctuations. Unfortunately, I didn't like maths-physics in school. But I've got plenty of time (unless I die early) to catch up.

[SuperGolfing1]

created out of nothing, wow he is a genius. Infinite void as an antecedent of infinite energy that is amazing. No begging, yet created hmmm?, yeah I get it now. Hawkins its easy just say it, there is a GOD.

[GluttonForSex]

@SuperGolfing1 Actually, going from nothing to something is the easiest aspect to explain:

1. In the beginning there is nothing (void).

2. Where there is nothing, there is ALWAYS infinite potential.

3. Where potential exists it WILL be realized in the ABSENCE of an inhibitor.

4. Being nothing, but potential, and no inhibitors, all was realized.

From that, infinite forms/existences take shape, including us somewhere down the line.

Going from nothing to a magical sky daddy isn't likely.

[SuperGolfing1]

@GluttonForSex Your reaching

[dachten]

"I think a person should have the to end their life if they want, but I think it is a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. Where there is life, there is hope." Stephen Hawkin.

[crangesJ]

WAT!!!! dude this guy HAD SEX!!!! how the fuck would you have sex with that desability that just makes no sense at all!!!

[NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

@crangesJ well his partner probably had the most control with but i dont think it was that impossible for him. i mean, as long as he has a penis, he could do it.

[crangesJ]

@NinjutsuNinjaQueen Its still soo fucked up, as if the disability wouldnt stop him from getting hard, and being able to edjaculate. Also how is this guy the smartest in the world?

[NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

@crangesJ haha that's just how amazing he is :)

[GluttonForSex]

@crangesJ Smartest in the world is a very relative thing. Hawking however stands out well above the average in two things: 1) He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics for 40 years. That position was once held by Isaaq Newton, and it is basically reserved for people who quality as the greatest mathematicians of their generation. 2) Hawking was the very first to find a way to combine special relativity with quantum mechanics in limited fashion. None were able to do that before him.

[Marsman315]

@crangesJ He was diagnosed with his disease when he was in his early twenties. And it didn't completely paralyze him until he was approximately 26 or 27. Plus he is almost seventy years old and his children are in advanced ages too. Plenty of time to start a family.

[crangesJ]

omfg i really cant understand how a desies could do that, its just fucked up i mean

look at 0:42 you can only just see him trying too smile there!!!

[yambertthenoble]

The interviewer isn't an idiot just because he didn't ask horrendously detailed questions about the nature of the universe. There are plenty of other videos and interviews which are more technical than this.

I found this video interesting purely for the small insight it gave into the personality of a great man who, I think, is considered too frequently to be a mere human library.

[MyFrazzled]

How does he talk?

[Rotavator06]

His interviewer looks like Anthony Bourdain.

[youngs1ncere]

stephen is amazing he doesn't get enough respect or recognition

[Rotavator06]

@youngs1ncere What makes you think he's looked down on by anybody who knows him?

[jackichan472]

Epic Rap Battles of history. Thumbs up.

[1kicka1]

if any cure came up this guy is deserving og being one of the first inline

[hideNghillie]

just kidding I really do feel sorry for him hope he somehow gets cured in anyway possible :)

[hideNghillie]

That was hawk-ward

[666RAC69]

Stephen Hawking is my hero! along with Sir Issac Newton.

[EVYSOF]

His sickness might be giving to him on purpose , bad or good way . Why instead of make something that will heal him he goes to cosmology ?.......

[hedman]

Hard questions, I like it!

[bunger2127]

hawking's smile in the beginning made me smile so bigg

[Darklion0]

the guy interviewing hawking our the person who decided he should be asked these questions is a complete ass.

[mysticsack]

duckface



[Tomer4love]

@B21983 

u are totally right. israel it's a very special and open country

the israeli people are very wiser.

thank u for being objective about my country

[HerrGubba]

yair is a fag

[UNxForGotTeNN]

@babayabadabadu I appreciate that you pointed that out.

[TheACGlovesLkm]

It's pretty funny how people make fun of him, but he's literally the smartest guy in the world.

[UNxForGotTeNN]

@babayabadabadu Actually, that would be correct. This would be because nobody is perfect. Any flaw found within my mind while calculating its amount of perfection would actually prove to be quite normal. With this being said, we are all flawed in the brain.

[UNxForGotTeNN]

@babayabadabadu Your statement is excessively flawed.

[UNxForGotTeNN]

@babayabadabadu Actually, your claims are quite irrelevant.

[UNxForGotTeNN]

@babayabadabadu You do not know anything about me, therefore, do not possess the authority to make such declarations about my intelligence.

[UNxForGotTeNN]

@babayabadabadu Sir, for your information, I am not a miss. In all honesty though, that really was not a question.

[Ompmovies]

he sounds like a mix of microsoft sam and microsoft mike, like arby n chief lol

[UNxForGotTeNN]

@babayabadabadu Sir, that is not a question.

[UNxForGotTeNN]

Imagine his fear as he realizes that his wheelchair is moving at an uncontrollable speed toward the edge of a dock of a lake.

[4FunPlayin]

@UNxForGotTeNN lol

[xNmilesx]

how the heck can he talk with that? does he type it in or something? or is it like a mind thing

[RokuNoRaiden]

@xNmilesx He presses buttons with his hand with that black thing there and selects every word.

[STEINERSKOLEN66]

omg hes AWSOME

[SirPornAlot]

2:50 MOMMY MOMMY WTF IS THIS FOLLOWING ME

[residentevilfreak95]

how does he talk i just wanted to know how does he do it

[Brook1888]

@icecrmpntjb shut the fuck up, there wasn't even many questions asked about the wheelchair, and he didn't mind, chill the fuck out

[venomousfish]

Did anyone else see the tiny smile at 0:42?

[ThatGameFreak]

@venomousfish he has sensors in his mike that do the talking for him.

[SirLEONARD0]

@venomousfish he also smile at 1:47

[krusher6968]

who the hell disliked this that is so true!!!!!!!!!

[ZachAttack741]

LOL this shit is funny

[Nytz12]

Did that fucking idiot just ask if he ever considered killing himself?

[eldrama2]

he's a dumbass.

[david181993]

@eldrama2 What an insightful comment. 

[doomslayer1234277]

Atleast he can smile and still enjoy the simplist things in life.

[MrPokeman67]

thumbs up if epic rap battles of history brought you here

[barnicleboy22]

how does he make it talk though?

[hockeytofu101]

@barnicleboy22 he has a button in his hand and a cursor goes down on the top of the screen to select words he clicks the button and makes sentences on the lower parts of the screen when he is done he just pushes another button and it sends the message to the speaker

[Dragadonga]

@hockeytofu101 wrong this was long time ago now his body is evan more dissabled now is a little camera on his left eye wich looks where he is looking at and reflects it on the computer so the computer knows when hes looking at a word

[MrTanman6789]

@barnicleboy22 he twitches a muscle in his cheek which sends infrared waves to the computer making it talk

[Goranohan]

Who else lol'd as fuck when he's like: HEY KIDS WATCH ME DRIFT

[Mr1Puff]

@Goranohan I won't lie, i laughed my ass off then was like.. aw shit I feel horrible now >.>

[Goranohan]

@Mr1Puff Dude, you're talking to the guy who autotuned his aunt with downs syndrome

[Mr1Puff]

@Goranohan lol

[realityexplorations]

you dont get somthing from nothing, personaly i belive the cridibility atibuted to steven hawking is highly over rated, if not for his disability he would genraly be over looked.

[JonaGN]

@realityexplorations Well HE can spell much better than you, that's for sure.

[realityexplorations]

@JonaGN now thats funny lol

[Anndrej1]

Heyyy its Jim Carrey :) 7:08

[Scottland890]

awww poor Hawking i feel so sorry for him WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

[bloty02]

He has becme more and more snug down the years

[facelessone1391]

@bloty02 Yeah he looks pretty snug in that chair of his, although I doubt he becme anything....considering that's not a word

[bloty02]

@facelessone1391 Oh sorry, i misssed out an o, didn't i. Im  so sorry about my spelling

[TeamJacobQueen]

i feel sorry for him!

but his sex life wat a dive!

[redskinfan124]

Just so you know god could change any possible law with a snap of his fingers

[EyeJayAre]

Do you believe in God? That's a yes or no, perhaps a yes with a reason or a no with a reason, but don't try to "evade" the question

[GluttonForSex]

@EyeJayAre God was created by humans, not the other way around. You essentially worship a product of the human imagination. It's slightly narcistic when you think about it.

[maglust24]

Where there is life, there is hope....

[comali2212]

I didn't know that Georges Clooney is an interviewer!!

[shonnastyle3]

"Have you ever thought about ending it all?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME??! "Even the most intelligent man cannot get along with you women"..WTF??! And did he indirectly ask Mr. Hawkings about his sex life??!  I want to smash this fly larvae.

[DXman099]

The Guy interviewing him is an idiot.

[Tvvilightowl]

he has a really cute smile

[hdtrhrh]

Hard to believe this guy invented microsoft

[DemonBankai]

@hdtrhrh dont be stupid, it was bill gates and paul allen who founded microsoft.

[ahhhhhron]

the interviewer is a douche.

[ahhhhhron]

hes a doddlehead.

[ToXiicTaCo1]

if he's so smart then y doesn't he create a cure for himself to cure his ALS?

[Casper123666]

@ToXiicTaCo1 Because he can't fucking move, idiot. Also, he's a physicist, not a chemist, or a biologist. He doesn't know anything about medication or the functioning of the human body, he only knows a lot about the universe.

[Anndrej1]

@Casper123666 You know how is he moving his fingres ??? and all his muchles are not working he is useing his brain to move his fingres and that takes alotttt of contraction...

[Ages15]

@Casper123666 Um,....actually, he's a doctor

[Nytz12]

@ToXiicTaCo1 if the strongest man in the world is so strong, why doesn't he lift 100 busses above his head?

[LedZeppelin4ACDC]

@ToXiicTaCo1 If you're such a selfless asshole then y aren't you in hell?

[DjJohntravous]

did they really ask him if he was going to kill himself?
