Stephen Hawking (1942–2018)
Autor von Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit
Über den Autor
Stephen William Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8, 1942. He received a first class honors degree in natural science from Oxford University and a Ph.D. from Cambridge University. He was a theoretical physicist and has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge mehr anzeigen University from 1982 until his death. In 1974, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, the world's oldest scientific organization. In 1963, he learned he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neuromuscular wasting disease also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The disease confined him to a wheelchair and reduced his bodily control to the flexing of a finger and voluntary eye movements, but left his mental faculties untouched. He became a leader in exploring gravity and the properties of black holes. He wrote numerous books including A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, Black Holes and Baby Universes, On the Shoulders of Giants, A Briefer History of Time, The Universe in a Nutshell, The Grand Design, and Brief Answers to the Big Questions. In 1982, he was named a commander of the British Empire. A film about his life, The Theory of Everything, was released in 2014 and was based on his first wife Jane Hawking's book Traveling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen. He died on March 14, 2018 at the age of 76. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

I was suprisingly very convinced by his arguments against God.
All his answers go into some depth which is nice, but sometimes he looses a bit track of the question and explains some other stuff which is not related to the question in first sight.
He is also witty many times.
The thing that stuck most to me is that his view on the universe is that time begun with the big bang.
Also I think it was interesting that he talks a lot about colonising space of which he thinks it is really important and that artificial intelligence will play a central role in current and future human advances.
I would recommend reading this book.… (mehr)
