What does everyone think of this?

A direct quote from Steven Hawking

"I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

Steven Hawking has been considered one of the most remarkable minds of the past century. His theories on the universe seem to baffle even the brightest. It baffles even me that such a bright mind could think like this? There has to be more to it.

There is some pretty intelligent people with bonked up ideas. Example, Nicola Tesla

the sauce of his knowledge lives on as the body is just an instrument...
however i believe the body ONE day will be able to live long long long more years than it does today...
i also have knowledge should he decide to live for a few more years his problems will soon be gone and up and walking a short time after that...
i'm sure he would be aware of this knowledge as this info is all of the plains/realms

good luck

Mr Hawking is in for the shock of his... afterlife then. LOL

Science is a religion for some.

Summerlander · May 17, 2011, 11:21:25

Hawking...LOL!

I make more sense than him. A computer won't work without being plugged at the mains and it needs and operator/observer, you knob!

I think Hawkings needs to get laid to get a new perspective...

The materialistic view is a creed too. It's theoretical. That statement is very unscientific of him and just shows how close-minded he is. I could go on about Hawking's blemishes. But I know why he makes such statements...he is the one who is AFRAID...afraid of being ridiculed because he is a public figure and wants to maintain his illusory no-nonsense approach in the eyes of the world...hypocrite!

so you obviously agree that you are not smarter...or do you think you are

Hawking is obviously brilliant, but that is irrelevant towards being biased to one possibility over the other. It seems Most materialists dont even 'WANT' there to be an afterlife. But I do agree he made that public statement to look credible in his knowledge of Science. It's well known a lot of scientists do keep there 'spirituality' to themselves.

personalreality · May 17, 2011, 19:31:25

i think hawking is a pretty open minded guy. he has been able to conceive of things that the rest of physics couldn't comprehend. i don't understand the difference between him saying that and you or i saying "but there is an afterlife steven, there is!"

both are pretty much unprovable. you kind of have to wait until you die to REALLY know for sure. even then you may not understand it. which is why people fear death in the first place, because we just don't know and can't know until we do it.

Lexy · May 18, 2011, 00:36:47

LARRY KING: Do you believe in a sixth sense, a spirit world, another level of existence?

HAWKING: I do not believe in a sixth sense, if you mean extrasensory perception. That would not be consistent with my belief that a universe is governed by a mathematical laws. Spiritual values belong to a different category to the physical universe.

Hawking is a wannabe, people. Guess how he ruled out that travelling back in time was impossible...because he organised a party for time travellers and no-one turned up!

ya really don't like him do ya or anyone smarter than you...disrespectful attitude especially for a so called mod
full ego problem man

good luck

LOL! Is that the best you can come up with, ether2? I tell you what...I like my mum, she's way smarter than me, has a lot more experience and she's the person I love the most in this world. She's way smarter than Hawkings...

Hawkings ruled out the possibility of travelling back in time because no-one turned up at his party. Not once did he consider that perhaps they never found his invitation, or that time travel is a top secret affair in the future, or that it's illegal, or that perhaps the travellers just didn't want to spend time with him!

This is the kind of mind that people are relying on to affirm to them that there is no afterlife. No one can claim that for sure...not even him...especially not him! LOL

Materialism is a creed just like any other...

In his own words, he admits not being sure but for him to accuse others of believing because they are scared...well...that's a bold statement. I've got friends that are way more intellectual than him and they choose to stay away from the limelight:

Tell that to Hawkings...

Xanth · May 18, 2011, 10:54:40

Yeah, I was gonna point that part out as well... his belief.

no time man
good ya like/love ya mum how can ya say she's way smarter than Hawkings is she know to the public...this by no means is a measure of one

yeah well i agree with the back in time thing as many at this day and everyday (i look) is 180000 people looking back towards how the universe was created remote Viewing type around half an hour a session many sessions a day, don't ask why this is where you will just think i'm really gone mentally
not illegal man they above make the rules for that not Governments
no after life for the existing consciousness in body once the body is gone that consciousness is gone with it my belief
ya Spirit lives on though obviously not in body at this stage think about that one...
many people put there arse on the line so to speak and look silly just to do a job (call it the economy) maybe it saves people from necking themselfes at this time frame they would listen keep them in body as we approach our New Beginning
future is not written man 2 1/2 years from now all scripts are finished New World/Beginning we are to take controll of it in a full conscious state ask those above guides etc tell ya the same thing many are in discussions as to how to go about this we know what to do, not that hard

good luck

LOL! So you have to be in the public eye to be smarter than everyone else? This is new! I guess Ryan Newman, who is only thirteen and very much in the public eye is smarter than you then!

Did you get that one from your records too?

i was trying to say this nicely, but you really don't know. hawking could be 100% right.

we could be making all this up out of idealistic wishes. imagination is a powerful thing.

ether2, look at your statement carefully...

think very hard about what you said...

it's very oxymoronic.

I rest my case.

Could!

It's just as valid as someone coming along and saying the afterlife is real and scientists who dismiss such notions are avoiding ridicule.

Stookie_ · May 18, 2011, 11:48:40

Yeah, you can't blame a man for not believing in something he hasn't experienced or seen any evidence of. I like Hawking. When it comes to the physical world, he knows his excrement.

Summerlander · May 18, 2011, 11:52:34

That doesn't mean he knows it all, Stookie, and he certainly has no right to say that people who believe in the afterlife are just scared. You think that is true what he said about people being afraid?
