Primitive Alien Life May Exist, Stephen Hawking Says
2008-04-23 11:48:00 Tariq MalikSenior EditorSPACE.comApril 23, YahooAlien life may well exist in a primitive form somewhere in our corner of the galaxy, famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said Monday.Given the size of the universe, it is unlikely that Earth is the only planet to develop some sort of life, Hawking told an audience at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He added that humanity must embrace space exploration, if only to ensure its long-term survival."While there may be primitive life in our region of the galaxy, there don't seem to be any advanced intelligent beings," said Hawking during a lecture as part of a series commemorating NASA's 50th anniversary this year.The lack of success by the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project to discover signals from an alien civilization suggests that none exist within several 100 light-years of Earth, Hawking said, though he offered three theories on the dearth of interplanetary communications.The probability of prim...
Stephen Hawking Thinks Aliens Likely
2008-04-23 06:06:00 Noted astrophysicist Stephen Hawking thinks that alien life is likely, albeit primitive, according to a lecture delivered at George Washington University in honor of NASA’s 50th anniversary. It begs the question of if we need to consider a Prime Directive before exploring or sending signals too far into the depths of space.

Stephen Hawking, Frank Drake and life in the Universe.
2008-04-22 19:03:00 Frank Drake is famous for his Drake equation which attempts to estimate the amount of intelligent life in the universe. It is actually fairly simple. N = R* × fp × ne × fl × fi × fc × L where: N is the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which we might hope to be able to communicate; and R* is the average rate of star formation in our galaxy fp is the fraction of those stars that have planets ne is the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets f? is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point fi is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life fc is the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space L is the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space. Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking comes along in this speech and essentially, from what...

What Do You Get If You Cross the Left Hand of Stephen Hawking, the Right Ha
2008-03-14 16:26:00 You get this statue of Leonardo da Vinci, in front of the Sandy City Library. Here's hoping that the Sandy City Library has a better eye for books than they do for art. I wonder how many books a creepy statue of Homeless E.T. Hawking could pay for?
The art and science of reading poetry out loud (with Stephen Hawking)
2008-03-10 03:30:00 Whenever I think of poetry readings my mind immediately jumps to Mike Myers in So I Married an Axe Murderer:Harriet, Harriet hard-hearted Harbinger of haggis Beautiful, bemused bellicose butcherUntrust-ingUnknow-ingUnl-ov-ingHe wants you back he screams into The night air like a fireman going To a window that has no fire except The passion of his heart I am lonely,It's really hardThis poem sucksand I try and imagine me standing up there and "performing" a poem and I go, er thanks, but no, thanks. Or, if you want a couple of real-life examples, the ever-so-twee Pam Ayres (still on the go – I wonder how many grannies got her latest collection for Xmas?) and the Dylanesque-looking punk poet John Cooper Clarke (still on the go too – I thought he'd crash and burn years ago). The thing about both of these is that they write humorous verse – radically different – designed to be performed. Both of these poets is capable of communicating with their target audiences and there is a ne...
Stephen Hawking Will Kick Your Ass
2008-02-21 17:51:00 Never mind the monkey-robot hybrids, at last the future promises us video game systems that function solely through the power of the mind! That's right. No more carpal tunnel. No more Nintendo thumb. (You might still have to get up off your ass for a little DDR, but first person shooters will never be the same.) It's the EPOC Emotiv headset, for your your neuron-empowered controller needs. This isn't a distant-future projection either. The new system is in beta-testing and is slated to be released by the end of this year.This technology won't just read your intended action (shoot monster) but will also have access to your emotional response (yee haw! I shot a monster!) and the game will be able to reflect that accordingly. Your avatar might smile if you are happy, and your computer-generated companion might tell you your emotions were inappropriate (we must mourn the death of this noble monster). We can't wait!

George's Secret Key to the Universe
2007-11-02 18:59:00 Apparently, Stephen Hawking and his daughter, Lucy, have written the book entitled, ?George's Secret Key to the Universe? to explain the universe and black holes to children. Different than a simple science fiction book, this book is supposed to be ?an adventure that is based on real science rather than on fantasy. I thought it was important to weave science into the story line because I wanted to make ?George?s Secret Key to the Universe? appealing to children who wouldn?t otherwise pick up a book on physics.?According to the interview, the following question was asked to Mr. Hawking: Q: In your children's book, you describe the universe without a creator. Does this reflect your personal beliefs?A: The lesson of the book is that the universe is governed by the laws of science. One could regard these laws as the work of God but discussion of such theological issues is not appropriate in a children?s adventure story. Has anyone read this book?If so, what is your opinion of the con...

E = MC Hawking ? / Stephen Hawking Now Officially A Total Badass
2007-04-30 14:24:00 Good Old College Days - I'm thinking about old college and Physics! CUT the Crap eh?Hawking, 65, perhaps the most renowned theoretical physicist of his time, has long suffered from a motor neuron disorder called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Unable to move his hands and legs, he has been wheelchair bound for nearly four decades. In the mid-1980s, he also lost his ability to speak naturally after a tracheotomy following a bad bout with pneumonia.As a result, Hawking, who is the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge in England, communicates by making small facial expressions, using the muscles around his eyes, eyebrows, cheek and mouth, raising an eyebrow, for example, to signal "yes." Technology has allowed him to communicate more extensively through a computer that talks for him in a synthesized voice while he chooses words on the screen through an infrared sensor on a headpiece that detects motion in his chee...

Stephen Hawking y el Universo
2007-04-09 02:10:00 He leido en Internet que Stephen Hawking experimentará la gravedad 0 en un vuelo a 10.000 metros de altitud el 26 de Abril de 2007. En 2006 dijo "La vida en la Tierra está cada vez más en peligro de ser destruida por un desastre como un súbito calentamiento del clima o un virus genéticamente modificado y con otros peligros potenciales", por eso es para él muy importante la conquista del universo. Stephen Hawking es autor de "Historia del Tiempo", donde intenta dar respuesta sin formulas matemáticas a las ideas básicas acerca del origen y del destino del universo que pueden ser enunciadas de tal manera que las personas sin una educación científica las puedan entender; ¿de dónde viene el universo? ¿Cómo y por qué empezó? ¿Tendrá un final, y, en caso afirmativo, cómo será? Hawking también intenta dar respuesta a la famosa pregunta de Einstein sobre si Dios tuvo alguna posibilidad de elegir al crear el universo. ¿Es posible comprender el pensamiento de Dios?. La conclusión del libro es ...

Heavy Metal a "comfort" for bright children; Stephen Hawking seen wearing A
2007-03-23 16:13:00 Intelligent teenagers often listen to heavy metal music to cope with the pressures associated with being talented, according to research.The results of a study of more than 1,000 of the brightest five per cent of young people will come as relief to parents whose offspring, usually long-haired, are devotees of Iron Maiden, AC/DC and their musical descendants.Researchers found that, far from being a sign of delinquency and poor academic ability, many adolescent "metalheads" are extremely bright and often use the music to help them deal with the stresses and strains of being gifted social outsiders.Stuart Cadwallader, a psychologist at the University of Warwick, will present the findings at the British Psychological Society conference in York today.He said: "There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading. I think that is an inaccurate stereotype. There is literature that links heavy metal to poor academic performan...

Stephen Hawking to make zero-gravity flight
2007-03-06 21:27:02 Renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking will soon experience a brief history with weightlessness.Hawking, who uses a wheelchair and is almost completely paralysed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig?s disease, plans to go on a weightless flight on April 26, officials at the Zero Gravity Corporation said.?As someone who has studied gravity and black holes all of my life, I am excited to experience first-hand weightlessness and a zero-gravity environment,? Hawking said in a statement.The zero-gravity is created onboard a modified Boeing 727 which generally soars to 32,000 feet at a sharp angle and then plunges 8,000 feet so passengers can experience 25-second snippets of zero gravity during the descent. As the plane climbs, passengers experience 25 seconds of being pushed down hard, as they feel 1.8 times the normal pull of the Earth. Zero Gravity CEO Peter Diamandis said assistants will be onboard to help Hawking.?The key thing here is that weightlessness and pers...

Stephen Hawking to Test the Effects of Viagra in Space
2007-03-02 01:37:01 British physicist Stephen Hawking, who is world-famous for his intellectual prowess as well as his physical frailty, has made a firm date with weightlessness on April 26, aboard a jet flying out of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Hawking’s adventure is being sponsored by drug firm Pfizer, maker of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. Hawking plans to consume a standard dose of Viagra two hours prior to take-off, and will document his erection in a weightless environment. Hawking is reported to be the second senior scientist to study boners in space. 77 year-old senator and astronaut John Glenn studied the effects of watching lesbian porn during his 9 day 1998 mission aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. John Glenn, pictured above, hooked up to NASA’s Phallus 14 penile volumizer aboard Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998.
