Stephen Hawking als two years One should love animals. They are so tasty. Stephen Hawking animal-love should animal Nuclear weapons need large facilities, but genetic engineering can be done in a small lab. You can't regulate every lab in the world. The danger is that either by accident or design, we create a virus that destroys us. Stephen Hawking viruses engineering design One could say: "The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary." The universe would be completely self-contained and not affected by anything outside itself. It would neither be created nor destroyed. It would just BE. Stephen Hawking boundaries self would-be Some individuals are better able than others to draw the right conclusions about the world about them and act accordingly. These individuals will be more likely to survive and reproduce so their pattern of behaviour and thought will become dominant Stephen Hawking patterns behaviour able Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in. Stephen Hawking differences different science So great a contribution to physics was Two New Sciences that scholars have long maintained that the book anticipated Isaac Newton's laws of motion. Stephen Hawking law two book Gravity is so strong that space is bent round onto itself, making it rather like the surface of the earth. If one keeps traveling in a certain direction on the surface of the earth, one never comes up against an impassable barrier or falls over the edge, but eventually comes back to where one started. Stephen Hawking space strong fall The increase of disorder or entropy with time is one example of what is called an arrow of time, something that distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time. Stephen Hawking increase giving past The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.

Stephen Hawking answers forever might If I have questions about the universe on my mind when I go to bed, I can't turn off. I dream equations all night. Stephen Hawking mind dream night Though we feel we can choose what we do, our understanding of the molecular basis of biology shows that biological processes are governed by the laws of physics and chemistry and therefore are as determined as the orbits of the planets.
