Has Steven Hawking lost his credibility?

The laws of physics don't apply to the big bang.If there an was an equal and opposite force for the big bang,the universe would have ended right back where it started and we would not exist.And how the hell is the laws of physics supposed to apply to evolution.?You should have explained what you thought "devolution" theory was.What ever it might be,it is completely ridiculous.Evolution works in one way,making animals better suited to their environment.

<QUOTE>Has Steven Hawking lost his credibility?</QUOTE>

I suppose only in the minds of God-fearing citizens.

On the other hand, I suppose that the anonymous scientists see those who get much publicity (especially for their being confined to a wheelchair) find that as a publicity stunt. I suppose Stephen is only using whatever he can get his hands on (figuratively), so it's better than just giving up. Who knows, it might just make people be a little more curious about scientific subjects and actually start thinking about stuff (even if it's just crazy ideas, which might hopefully diverted away from the incorrect ideas with proper elucidation).

<QUOTE>If laws of physics state that there must be a positive for negative and vice versa</QUOTE>

Which laws are those?

<QUOTE>There is no theory on a great implosion or a negative universe which would be needed to balance the argument </QUOTE>

It seems that the words "big bang" have affected people's minds more than I anticipated, thinking about explosions and stuff.

Here, read this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang#Motivation_a...

<QUOTE>(Darwin's theory of evolution would surely also only be balanced by devolution).</QUOTE>

OK, now you're seriously (and dangerously) uninformed. Species don't "evolve", they're selected.

<QUOTE>His calculations have gone from the Roman system where positive goes straight into negative and completely ignores zero.</QUOTE>

This is so full of crap that I don't even know where to begin.

Hawking began working in the 20TH CENTURY, when the Roman numbering system was long abandoned and uses either symbolic calculus or decimal digits to show results.

I understand some children are still taught using abacuses at school. But nowadays a digital calculators are pretty cheap.

<QUOTE>Zero is a total void </QUOTE>

Dear Lord...

Please go back to school. Zero is a number, not a void.

<QUOTE>Zero is also proven to exist between positive and negative</QUOTE>

Zero is not proven, it is axiomatized.

It is DEFINED as the element in a set of numbers which is neutral for an additive operator. And THAT'S IT. Zero plus something is that same thing, and (because of the commutation property of groups) something plus zero is that same thing. And THAT'S IT.

Let me guess, you're a liberal arts major aren't you?

And that math stuff spooks you, so you have to make up idiotic and poetic claims to make yourself feel good about it because maths just sounds so damn complicated.

<QUOTE>Every scientist and mathematician has to acknowledge this.</QUOTE>

No they haven't. Your reasoning isn't right. You reasoning isn't even wrong. Your reasoning is just plain out whack. But we're used to having some of you come by here.

Prof Hawking is only repeating what dozens of other less well known but well informed people have been saying for donkey's years, based on much the same evidence. The only reason it gets into the stupid media is because it's him that said it.

What laws of physics state there has to be a "positive for negative"? Can you give us any one? Newton's law about action'and reaction is about mechanical forces, nothing else.

What do you make of the possibility that the Universe has a net energy of zero or almost zero? That means it's net mass is zero or almost zero too.

Don't rely on the News of the World to tell you about Hawking's latest theories. Read his book - or at least the executive summary. Physics is about what we can observe and measure. Hawking's book is about theoretical cosmology which is a different subject altogether. His thoughts on the origins of the universe help provide greater insight and allow experimental scientists to test his opinions, but his subject is more akin to philosophy than mathematics.

Over my lifetime, theories about the origins of matter have alternated between the universe being created all in one go (big bang) and matter passing in and out of existence at random (continuous creation). Hawking appears to be trying to bridge that gap by having big bang as part of a longer term process. Perhaps we will be able to rehabilitate Fred Hoyles.

If you feel depress, unhealthy and you don’t have any thought on how to get your life back on track? If the answer is yes then is because you do not know how this guide, Manifestation Miracle that you can uncover it right here https://tr.im/JLgeI genuinely works.

Have you ever heard the story of achievement man but they don’t have time to appreciate what they have? They might have been so wealthy till absolutely nothing they cannot acquire. They invest 24 hours and 7 weeks to function really tough till they can't do something except work. They earn significantly but they can't devote as considerably as they earn. Even, they can do noting with their cash. They don’t have time to go to spot they want to go or they don’t have time to invest the time with family members or friends either. As the outcome, they really feel anxious about their life. They notice that there is something incorrect with their life.

If you feel the exact same, you need to take a deep breath and try to figure it out. Understanding the manifestation miracle will get rid of these issues particularly your anxiety about your life.

What is the magic ingredient? It is the missing ingredient of Law of Attraction which you are doubt soon after you have carried out something but you don’t see any result. It is known as destiny tuning. What is that? You will know it in detail when you study this manifestation miracle. You will comprehend a system which tends to make your brain operate nicely and lead you to achieve you define as good results.

The only thing you have proved is that you don't know what you are talking about.

I will take one point, since other have refuted your other points.

+5 + (-5) = 0

Or

0 = +5 + (-5)

Does that help you to understand?

And anyone who says "Darwin's theory of evolution would surely also only be balanced by devolution" has a severe mental impairment about understanding how things work.

Nope. He's still regarded as one of the great scientists of all time.

The main problem here is that you are trying to simplify what he says without any understanding of quantum theory. Kind of like a five year old arguing with someone about electronic fuel injection. You really need to study the subject more before debating this.

A zero energy universe came from a zero start,sounds sane to me

Steven Hawking is awesome

There is no evidence or need for a god. That's all he said, and scientists have been saying that for hundreds of years. That's why we do science - to figure out how things work. If we wanted to say 'god did it' for everything, we wouldn't have science at all. I'm not sure what you're reading into the laws of physics there, but they don't contradict the big bang. Physicists are the ones who came up with it, after all. I'm not sure why you're trying to bring evolution into this (confusion about science in general?) but there's no point.
