Guys, wow, yes, I made a mistake reading the date. Obviously I meant 1942, not 1842. Could we shift the conversation to something intelligent, rather than just pointing out a rather minor reading error?
At the age of 21, he was given 2 years to live. Then, over the next 55 years, he changed the way we see physics. If that's not one of the greatest scientists the world has ever seen, i don't know what is.
If I had MND, I would want to die in 2 years, honestly. Life isn’t worth it, if I can’t even wipe my own ass. Hawking was disabled because he denied God in front of the entire world. Cause and effect
Prof. Hawking has been one of the most influential physicists of the past century but I think his influence is felt only by people working in a very specific field in physics, namely Cosmology, which is perhaps why you'll sometimes hear people say that he wasn't all that respected in the scientific community and that he was more of a great public educator and less of a great scientist. But actually the truth is Hawking was revered in academia and he commanded enormous respect and that had nothing to do with his illness. He made seminal contributions to quantum gravity. He published a string of papers on black hole mechanics in the 70s that in many ways marked the beginning of modern cosmology and his proposed information paradox was the first real indication that general relativity was not compatible with unitary evolution of quantized fields. Moreover the Penrose-Hawking singularity theorem is one of, if not the most important result in classical general relativity. I'm always upset when people call him a public educator of scientific ideas. I think it's an enormous disservice to his towering intellect. Great video btw.
sorry, I'm not sure, didn't Lenord Suskin disprove the theory that Hawking was most famous for, namely that information is destroyed by Hawking radiation, that lead to the Holographic Universe theory?
Firstly, couple of things to separate. Hawking's proof for the information loss in black holes is mathematically perfect and there are no flaws in his argument. Rather what it points to/indicates is missing physics, i.e. General Relativity cannot be a fundamental theory of gravity because it is not compatible with quantum evolution principles (something Hawking was initially skeptical of accepting). Following his tour-de-force calculation that unified quantm field theory, general relativity and thermodynamics, Hawking's great insight was to realise that Black Holes must have a finite temperature. and therefore they must emit radiation (Hawking radiation). This is an undisputed claim and one can show that if this is the case, then the black hole must evaporate eventually. But this is inexplicable from a quantum mechanical point of view for technical reasons I can't explain right now (it has to do with entangled particles). Juan Maldacena, I believe in the 90s, saw a way out of this (not by actually solving the problem but instead by showing that this problem must be in principle solvable) by the ADS/CFT conjecture (the holography principle) - which proved that there must be other ways of recovering the information. But Susskind and Maldacena haven't actually solved the problem. They've just made a very convincing case for the hypothesis that information is conserved. But how exactly it's conserved for a black hole is still an open problem in physics (one in which a lot of progress has been made recently).
I haven't made it to the second paragraph yet, but doesn't Hawking radiation refer to the quantum fluctuations that create a particle and anti-particle on the edge of the event horizon, a quantum fluctuation that causes the black hole to lose mass. I don't believe that the mass loss has anything to do with heat loss as the heat would just be recaputered by the black hole.
You’ll have to admit, he managed to cling to life and making the most of his life progressing the science fields. It’s as though he’s not giving his body permission to give out on him as he actually have a purpose in life despite being physical handicapped until, of course, his body finally gave out on him.
Dah Poe which hell? And so many gods to choose from too. If you can prove that your favourite mythological being is real and that all the many other gods are imaginary and only based on faith, you’ll be more famous than, Hawkings.
Fantastic video. My favorite RUclipsr (on one of my favorite channels) doing a exposé on my favorite cosmologist. Professor Hawking lived life to the fullest despite his physical obstacles. He also kept his sense of humor. Many of his colleagues and friends have spoke of examples in interviews. My best loved example is his voice acting in Futurama. Thank you Simon and crew for the best video yet. You guys/gals are the best!
Thank you for covering Stephen Hawking..... it’s one I’ve requested and he is such an inspirational and intelligent person. Motor neurone disease is a horrible illness and yet he defied the odds giving hope to others for some many years.
This guy was so inspiring. I won't pretend to understand anything he talked about, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating what a genius he was. The world needs more men like him.
Simon, love these biographics big thanks to you and the team. Great length to enjoy during lunch. May I ask if you've thought about doing one on Abraham Lincoln any time soon. His resilience through adversity seems to be a great lesson to us all in the 21st century. No I'm not from the US :) Thanks James
R.I.P. Professor Stephen Hawking. Your genius contributions to theoretical physics will never be forgotten. You truly are one of the greatest minds to ever exist in any generation throughout history.
I was struck listening to Eckhart Tolle's narration of his New Earth when he mentioned his meeting with Stephen at Cambridge, not knowing of his career and when their eyes met; how Steven's eyes held joyful surrender, despite his outlook... Just incredible 👌
"For millions of years, man lived just like the animals. Then something happened that unleashed the powers of our imagination: We learned to talk." "All we need to do is keep talking."

@@dudehi3317 I mean the guy was literally told that he was going to die in a few years and that there was nothing he could do to prevent his body from dying
"Obviously no one showed up" How do we know this if no one showed up and only he could confirm this. If he was to tell everyone that someone showed up, wouldn't that have affected time in such a way that could have caused no one to show up. It's an interesting thing to ponder. I couldn't imagine time travelers saying "Tell them Steven! tell them all!:" on the other hand, they would be inclined to make sure he would keep things quiet, only to ask a few questions from the late great Steven Hawking in exchange for showing up.
I don't think I could BEGIN to comprehend what he was explaining but you know he's something special when Carl Sagen writes the foreword to his book. He also had quite a wit, a cameo in 'The Big Bang Theory' saw Sheldon pass out upon meeting him and his response, through the instantly recognisable synthesized voice "Oh great, another fainter!"
I can't blame Hawking for being an atheist considering he had to deal with ALS, amazingly he achieved a phenomenal amount in his career despite his disabilities which shows his genius as a scientist.
I have heard, that as the biographical movie about Stephen Hawking was made, the actor, that played him, approached him, and as he was so nervous, he just said: " Nice to meet you, Mr. Hawking. Do you know what we have in common? We were both born as Capricorn." - Stephen replied: "I am not an astrologer I am an astronomer!" :D
What a truly inspiring person. I know so many people who have let physical injuries, dietary restrictions, or chronic illnesses turn them into bitter, worthless stumps who refuse to move on. Hawking barely batted an eye when he was hit with the mother of degenerative diseases and he just said "meh, just a bump in the path to becoming the greatest mind since Einstein"
I am brand new to your channel, and I'm watching my fourth of your videos. I subbed half way thru the first one. The soldier Benividez story. I'm so glad I found this channel! Intelligent and articulate, you are a great host! 🙌❤
I have a friend who was a physics major who once witnessed Hawking's wife's treatment of him. Though, to be fair, he also witnessed Hawking's treatment of her. They were at a restaurant and this group of physics students were excited to see Stephen Hawking, their hero, at the table next to him. They then heard Stephen say some very rude things to his wife. She got mad, stood up, turned off his wheelchair, and stormed out of the restaurant. This group of students didn't know what to do. Here was their hero stranded in his chair, unable to move, but they didn't want to get into the middle of a family argument. And they all also believed he had sort of asked for it with how rude he was being to her. She returned a short time later and turned his wheelchair back on.
I am a 42-year old with great love for Science, especially as it relates to understanding the universe. I have just started studying Physics with an IGCSE Physics textbook. I plan to build my way up slowly. In 10 - 15 years time from now, I hope to have at least acquired a masters degree in Physics. I will eventually specialize in Astrophysics. So, help me my brain. Amen
Simon, I don't know how balance all the channels you maintain. Your work is consistently excellent. You're sort of a mix of Carl Sagan and Paul Harvey. I have yet to come across one of your video essays that I didn't enjoy and learn from. I know it's a ton of hard work, and I greatly appreciate what you do. Thank you for putting quality brain food on the internet! It's quite refreshing. Would you be interested in doing a piece on Michio Kaku? It love to hear your take on his work. ✌️❤️🙂
When, as a lifelong atheist at the age of 32, I came home only to find my husband dead from a heart attack, Hawking's book "A Brief History of Time" was the first thing I read in order to grasp the meaning of life. The book did not provide any insights in that area. It did, however, contain a historical falsehood about Galileo. Other books helped me with the meaning of life and books/documentaries about Einstein and physics in general helped me learn science and common sense. I'm still trying to figure out why Hawking is worshipped for science (I get why he's worshipped for perseverance). I recommend the episode "Flowers for Charlie" from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia for a good joke about Hawking (which can play either way).
Another masterpiece, thanks for the video! Can you please make one for Paul Dirac - the strangest man that ever lived? He is an Einstein-level physicist and the father of Quantum Mechanics.
A true hero. Looking back at it, reading his book A brief history of time, when I was twelve changed me and my life in a fundamental way for the better. Made me think about it all and connect it to my own being and what I am doing here basically. He made me better. I totally love that really hoopy frood. 🖖😜📍
I want to know more about Jane, Hawking's first wife. She played a huge roll in history as well. Was she happy? Was she also a genius? How much of Hawking's success was thanks to her...?
Look up "Stephen Hawking voice before illness" and there you go. I realize this may be a bit late (as your post was 5 months ago according to RUclips) but of it's still of interest, I hope it helps.
How about doing(If you haven’t already) Douglas Bader RAF, veteran of the Battle of Britain, I have read his biography many times and as a RAF veteran I think it would be a very interesting topic,not just for military history enthusiasts but anyone who likes the stories of courage and heroism of that era. Whilst Bader was portrayed in his biography and film”reach for the sky” as an “all round good egg” there are those who have stated that he was not completely as he was portrayed,I will leave it with you to decide if a) it is a worthy subject and b) if you want to do it “warts and all” or just as portrayed. Hope this idea will interest you and see if you can dig a bit of dirt on the man,who I still admire, even though he was not quite as squeaky clean as he is remembered.

The body must obey the will of the mind. If one can do this than nothing is impossible. Of course not a very easy thing to do
In fact, he proved his doctors wrong and reached a normal age. :-)

Look up "Stephen Hawking voice before illness" and there you go. I realize this may be a bit late (as your post was 5 months ago according to RUclips) but of it's still of interest, I hope it helps.
A biography on Milton Erikson would be totally awesome.
I love the Great Courses
How about doing(If you haven’t already) Douglas Bader RAF, veteran of the Battle of Britain, I have read his biography many times and as a RAF veteran I think it would be a very interesting topic,not just for military history enthusiasts but anyone who likes the stories of courage and heroism of that era. Whilst Bader was portrayed in his biography and film”reach for the sky” as an “all round good egg” there are those who have stated that he was not completely as he was portrayed,I will leave it with you to decide if a) it is a worthy subject and b) if you want to do it “warts and all” or just as portrayed. Hope this idea will interest you and see if you can dig a bit of dirt on the man,who I still admire, even though he was not quite as squeaky clean as he is remembered.
I read his book in high school. 💙💙💙
Omg I love this channel.
