Stephen Hawking - Campus Party speech (2006)

Prof Stephen Hawking speech to Campus Party 2006

Hawking's principal fields of research are theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity. In 1971, in collaboration with Sir Roger Penrose, he proved the first of many singularity theorems; such theorems provide a set of sufficient conditions for the existence of a singularity in space-time. This work showed that, far from being mathematical curiosities which appear only in special cases, singularities are a fairly generic feature of general relativity.

Hawking also suggested that, after the Big Bang, primordial or mini black holes were formed. With Bardeen and Carter, he proposed the four Laws of black hole mechanics, drawing an analogy with thermodynamics. In 1974, he calculated that black holes should thermally create and emit subatomic particles, known as Hawking radiation, until they exhaust their energy and evaporate.

In collaboration with Jim Hartle, Hawking developed a model in which the Universe had no boundary in space-time, replacing the initial singularity of the classical Big Bang models with a region akin to the North pole; while one cannot travel North of the North pole, there is no boundary there. While originally the no-boundary proposal predicted a closed Universe, discussions with Neil Turok led to the realization that the no-boundary proposal is consistent with a Universe which is not closed also.

That is one brave man. He's not afraid of talking, even when it is harder for him than for anyone else.

[lord0nelson]

A true genius.

His record breaking, best-selling book 'A Brief History of Time' is truly breath taking.

Possibly one of the greatest English scientists of all time.

@behlokful ;OOO

[behlokful]

oh my god i would never foult of that but steven hawkings is from illuminati listen what he says from 2:45 and he says new world order!

@asmadeous Nope, DNA is for English. Spanish reverses adjectives and adverbs from Germanic languages like English.
