Discoveries of Stephen Hawking

By all means, there might not be any deity who has created this universe and nobody to answers our queries as to why we are here and who is responsible for our happiness and sufferings. Humanity has been curious about it for centuries and has invented many of the theories to quench the curiosity and thirst for knowing beyond unknown.

We have great scientists like Einstein and Newton who were far ahead of their times in intellect and geniuses, they compounded theories to understand the role of matter in this cosmos. In that line of legends, one such scientist and eminent mathematician, Stephen Hawking stands up as the most admired and intelligent scientist of our contemporary times. Without going into any details of his new concept - known as “M-Theory” because I do not want to scare away my readers with the complexity of mathematics and complicated equations, this article explains his work and the genius of Stephen Hawking who I am a great admirer of about how the universe would have started.

When Stephen Hawking was interviewed from Cambridge, England, on a program called "Larry King Reside final Friday night" about his new work The Grand Design, Hawking stated that physics does not need a God to possess the power to create the universe and that under certain conditions, the universe would spontaneously arise from absolutely nothing due to the law of gravity which stunned the world.

Though many of us have a background of science or some acceptance and exposure of science, we find it very difficult to assimilate the thought that there is no one in this monstrous universe who controls the motion of planets, their orbits and more importantly; our lives.

It is difficult to digest that, in fact we control our own lives and the planets move into the orbits according to the law of nature and not driven by any supreme being. They obey the simple rules of nature whereas we struggle to define boundaries and faculties for trying it to fit in our various theories by creating a God who needs to control everybody including the universe.

The universe, it so happens, is governed by infinitely accurate laws which we; due to our constraints, have to explain in finite terms and dispositions of Physics as we are used to. To understand infinite prepositions, our laws and mathematics need major transformations as we are bound by finite things on earth and are comfortable with finite propositions and static nature only. Our theories of physics can only handle finite objects and we use science to construct and demolish finite subjects.
