"Why did God create the universe?" is the first episode of the new Discovery series of "curiosity" that will air simultaneously on the TLC and Animal Planet, and there is something hopeful about it. Even in these tired, God accomplishes triumph of sex, aliens, evil and tempting array of other topics to be studied in future episodes, while in the world of discovery anyway, Stephen Hawking, who appears in the episode remains a bigger name Robin Williams, Samuel Jackson, Maggie Gyllenhaal or any other A-listers who participated in subsequent episodes.
Of course, a rhetorical question. Hawking has insisted that any supreme being was necessary to make the universe or even catch the ball rolling in astrophysics. "Why did God create the universe? "Based on his latest book," The Grand Design "(co-written with Leonard Mlodinow), which divided critics along religious and scientific lines. .http://kannaangel.blogspot.com
But even those unfamiliar with Hawking and his work is told from the beginning. Hawking acknowledges the controversy in the first moments of the segment of one hour, noting that the gap between scientific and theological communities is a long and bitter, with the Catholic Church often throughout the centuries, attempts to suppress scientific and punish those who made them.
As usual in these conversations, the brilliant and much abused Galileo gets a lot of play, as Pope John XXI, who in 1277 declared the laws of nature to be heretical, only to be killed by a of them - the severity (and weak mortar) caused a roof fall on him. (The fact that John XXI was also a scientist and physician who wrote an influential book on birth control is not mentioned).
So a better title would be "Stephen Hawking explains why it is very true that God created the Universe." Hawking, like many other scientists, believes in "a simpler alternative" to a God of participation - not the fixed laws of rule the unique nature of the universe, but to explain creation. ..................http://kannaangel.blogspot.com
How, I can not tell. Although the discovery is liberal in its use CG and Hawking comes with all sorts of metaphors are easy to understand his attempts to explain how, exactly, the big bang came from a state of nothingness requires an understanding of the physics that went beyond me. "If you are not a head of mathematics", recognizes too late in the process, "this may be difficult to understand." Indeed.
So, as the alternative, the belief in the premise of Hawking is an act of faith; after a certain point, the discussion of the anomalies subatomic and quality of positive and negative energy, the existence of a state in which the nascent universe exists only as potential, independent of mass or time, remains accessible only to select few, like Hawking, who must rely on their explanations to simple images, like the old people shook their spears at a solar eclipse and stories of a wolf god. Scientific dates on.............http://kannaangel.blogspot.com
Still, one leaves the hour with many questions about the nature of space and time and faith and fear, which are the fuel of curiosity.
And in it was Hawking's most famous living scientist, who seems to break all sorts of rules and natural patterns. Diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease 49 years ago, Hawking is completely paralyzed. A tracheotomy in 1985 left him speechless, but the use of a synthesizer has given one of the most distinctive and famous voices in the world. This is augmented by a narrator whose rich tones British are much more reminiscent of the mind behind the words.
A mind that the wheels certainly within a body frozen and distant universes agitating against the negative energy of space. Filmed in tweed professor in an empty room with wood paneling, the depressions of Hawking's motionless body on the side of his wheelchair, but his eyes, the camera uses to great effect, are bright and shiny even in 70 years and much more convincing than all the narrators voice plum green screens in the world. Ironically, it is hard to think of without Hawking believe in something admirable and benevolent immutable laws of nature. If not God, then an outer orbit of human potential, something much more than they dreamed of in our philosophy or our physics.
