What do you think of these 4 stephen hawking quotes?
    #22063684 - 08/08/15 05:13 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

personally, I think this man is bitter because hes a vegetable.

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.”


“The life we have on Earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe.”


"I am discounting reports of UFO's. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?"



“We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.”


--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

The UFO one is funny - other than that he doesn't sound like he would handle someone offering an alternative idea to what he thinks. To define is to limit

I disagree I have seen many interviews and documentaries about this guy and he is not only a physics giant to be equated to our generations Einstein but to overcome so many challenges of complete paraplegic and to rise to the point he has is inspiring. His last quote makes me think he really is grateful to be alive. I'd be bitter about being paraplegic for my entire adult life(basically) but it seems he didn't see his disability that way.

It is my belief that if there is a god, that entity would not want us spending our lives in the belief that we do not matter. Choosing to not accept life after death is just as spiritual and divine as it is to embrace it.

Yeah I don't mind his life after death belief..but think we are here for no reason and that we magically appeared from nothing is ridiculous, IMHO.

And I don't even care if he doesn't believe in God, its just the way he says it.

To believe that human beings are the top of the chain, and that's it, is pretty ignorant I believe.



im not huge on ghosts, but man theres just so many ghostly/spirit encounters and experuences for me to deny. Same with Near-death experiences..UFOS..and so on.

For every single one of those accounts to be just the imagination at work seems very unlikely. I believe there definitely is "something" going on. But you would never convince people like Hawking and Neil Tyson degrasse because theyre whole being is based on convincing themselves they know everything.

makes me sick..

I dont understand how presuming some being, who himself magically appeared out of nowhere is any less ridiculous then the universe suddenly flaring into existence of its own volition.

I see your point, but he totally dismisses the chance of the human being itself being able to transcend death. Its not farfetched to believe that the human being simultaneously exists in both the realm of the dead and the realm of the living, but has only the ability right now to perceive the living, due to the brains filters.

Only hillb*11ies (censored in case a certain mod is reading), druggies, losers, and morons see ghosts and have UFO experiences.

You just won't see a guy with a Master's in Engineering or PhD in Chem ever have this type of hallucination. Why is that? Why do only dummies have those experiences?

I kinda think we are extensions of something more complicated than we can really comprehend.

Utter bullshit.  Why should we believe that there is anything behind "Stephen Hawking" other than a team of writers?

Not necessarily true, educated and intelligent people can be crazy as well.  I myself find those sorts of ideas creeping in sometimes and I try my best to remain skeptical.  I've never liked religion though, and don't really have much sympathy for people who take the whole "I'm spiritual but not religious".  It basically comes down to, "I've got sacred knowledge".  Stephen Hawking also kinda embodies this in his own way, so I can see what you're saying Bill, but the stuff he talks about is pretty interesting.

He's a trooper and definitely inspirational, even if there is lots of dirt on him.  Much of the recognition he gets is well deserved.

Yea because all UFO's have to be from outer space right? :facepalm:

What about multiable person sightings? Its a very naive quote from a very smart creature.

I see things I would describe as UFOs (not OBVIOUSLY airplanes with distinctly blinking lights) all the time.  And this tube fed ninny calls me a weirdo. Fuck you, Stephen.

Lol, anyone who believes in mystical sky fairies or magical worlds beyond death is delusional.

I've gotta say all the people I've known who tell me stories about seeing UFOs are storytellers, or downright manic.  It's just been my honest experience in life, and I have nothing against these people, but it seems underneath the whole UFO movement lies a serious lack of credibility.  Sure, an astronaut here and there will mention it in passing, but that does not amount to proof.  To take something unexplained and connect it to all this new-age/spiritualist ideology is where I think scientists have a problem, and to not recognize this as justified is suspicious to me as someone concerned with the truth.

Never seen anything worth telling in a hyper-enthusiastic way.  Just lights that don't behave like aircraft we are familiar with :shrug:

Filling a void caused by ignorance with fairytales is the act of a primitive.
