Hawking says physics proves there is no time for "Gawd".

What is it about these extremely intelligent people

We have a OP showing Hawking is batshit stupid, and you still think he's intelligent. How stupid of you.

Hawking and Einstein are/were theoretical physicists, which may be Greek to you. But, millions of idiots know Greek because they grew up in a Greek society. Just like this forum is full of idiots who speak English.

 

[bobcollum]

I don't care for the conclusion he has made here, it doesn't really conclude much.

I don't see why it's out of the realm of possibility that our universe was born out of a star exploding in a universe that out-dates what we know of as the universe...perhaps the older universe contains celestial objects that would make our biggest stars look like small potatoes.

Seeing as how we have no way of attaining what the edge of our own universe is, how can we possibly know what's beyond it? Perhaps we're a bubble of a universe within other bubbles.

To be fair, at least Hawking tries to figure it out, the religious folks here that don't like his findings can only resort to insults. It's not like his theory is any more or less hard to swallow/unprovable than yours.

LOL. Hawking, arguably the greatest Theoretical Physicist of his generation, is batshit stupid.

Millions of people understand physics because they grew up in a universe governed by Physics, right? Millions of people can read music because they listen to iTunes all day.

I don't understand his conclusions, but it's far more likely that I'm stupid than he's stupid. But I'm not as stupid as you, which makes me feel better about my stupidity.

Stephen Hawking Explains Creation, Big Bang Sans God

Enter: the black hole.

The black hole, which floats in space, is a star so massive that it has collapsed in on itself. Nothing, including light, can escape its gravity.

"Its gravitational field is so powerful it doesn't only warp and distort light but also time," he explained. Time, thus, doesn't exist in the black hole.

Using this as the final key to revealing how the universe created itself, Hawking explained that if you travel back in time toward the moment of the big bang, the universe gets smaller until it comes to a point where the whole universe is in a space so small that it is "in effect a single infinitesimally small, infinitesimally dense black hole."

He concluded, "You can't get to a time before the big bang because there was no before the big bang. We have finally found something that doesn't have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me, this means there is no possibility of a Creator because there is no time for a Creator to have existed."

You gotta love the fact science was put into the Christian "entertainment" section.

The Universe was created by a black hole. Black holes are the result of collapsed stars. However, this particular black hole wasn't, and nothing existed before it.

I think Hawking is great, but he's gonna have to explain this one again for the benefit of numbskulls like me who find it odd to set scientific precedent aside because the theory somehow stops working.

If we can't see what came before this particular super massive black hole, why is the theory that nothing existed, rather than the super massive black hole is a result of the collapse of a super massive star?

You do realise the science community do not agree or even know if black holes even exist. Hawking has done too many meds.

They found what appeared to be a black hole leaking matter out one end there goes hawking's theory.

Bullshit!

Black Holes - NASA Science

Scientists can't directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect x-rays, light, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their effect on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of interstellar matter, for example, it will draw matter inward in a process known as accretion. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it toward itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it emits x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some tantalizing evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - emitting powerful gamma ray bursts, devouring nearby stars, and spurring the growth of new stars in some areas while stalling it in others.

Most black holes form from the remnants of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion. (Smaller stars become dense neutron stars, which are not massive enough to trap light.) If the total mass of the star is large enough (about three times the mass of the Sun), it can be proven theoretically that no force can keep the star from collapsing under the influence of gravity. However, as the star collapses, a strange thing occurs. As the surface of the star nears an imaginary surface called the "event horizon," time on the star slows relative to the time kept by observers far away. When the surface reaches the event horizon, time stands still, and the star can collapse no more - it is a frozen collapsing object.

Babies and Giants
Although the basic formation process is understood, one perennial mystery in the science of black holes is that they appear to exist on two radically different size scales. On the one end, there are the countless black holes that are the remnants of massive stars. Peppered throughout the Universe, these "stellar mass" black holes are generally 10 to 24 times as massive as the Sun. Astronomers spot them when another star draws near enough for some of the matter surrounding it to be snared by the black hole's gravity, churning out x-rays in the process. Most stellar black holes, however, lead isolated lives and are impossible to detect. Judging from the number of stars large enough to produce such black holes, however, scientists estimate that there are as many as ten million to a billion such black holes in the Milky Way alone.
On the other end of the size spectrum are the giants known as "supermassive" black holes, which are millions, if not billions, of times as massive as the Sun. Astronomers believe that supermassive black holes lie at the center of virtually all large galaxies, even our own Milky Way. Astronomers can detect them by watching for their effects on nearby stars and gas.

Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism.

Absolutely. I am in awe of the various sciences. I believe that humankind has progressed remarkably because of science and we have the potential (if we don't collectively fuck it up) to get to a point where science has the promise to enhance our RATE of advancement.

I urge folks to read a very difficult book called: The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil. It addresses the leaps and bounds in computing and computing science in a way that suggests that sooner or later (probably sooner) we will be able to alter physical particles around us in a way that can transform both our surroundings and ourselves. He projects (about the entire field) and foresees the likelihood that rather than dealing with the incremental changes inherent in genetic mutation and evolution, we will incorporate the new abilities derived from computing and other branches of science to literally speed up the process. WE will change almost overnight compared to the glacial pace of evolution.

Buy the premise, reject it or buy it in part. Whatever. It's all fascinating and the implications suggest to me that science not only has the ability to kill us all (nuclear annihilation for example) but also the ability to save us even from the worst parts of ourselves.

But I tell you truthfully, I don't see a blessed thing in ANY of that that is inconsistent with the possibility that we were all ultimately created by something very super-natural. A belief in and fascination with science does not require people to reject God.

Do black holes really exist?
22:16 18 June 2007 by Stephen Battersby




Black holes might not exist - or at least not as scientists have imagined, cloaked by an impenetrable "event horizon". A controversial new calculation could abolish the horizon, and so solve a troubling paradox in physics.

The event horizon is supposed to mark a boundary beyond which nothing can escape a black hole's gravity. According to the general theory of relativity, even light is trapped inside the horizon, and no information about what fell into the hole can ever escape. Information seems to have fallen out of the universe.

That contradicts the equations of quantum mechanics, which always preserve information. How to resolve this conflict?

One possibility researchers have proposed in the past is that the information does leak back out again slowly. It may be encoded in a hypothetical flow of particles called Hawking radiation, which is thought to result from the black holes' event horizons messing with the quantum froth that is ever-present in space.

But other researchers argue the information may never have been cut off in the first place. Tanmay Vachaspati and his colleagues at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, US, have tried to calculate what happens as a black hole is forming. Using an unusual mathematical approach called the functional Schrodinger equation, they follow a sphere of stuff as it collapses inwards, and predict what a distant observer would see.

They find that the gravity of the collapsing mass starts to disrupt the quantum vacuum, generating what they call "pre-Hawking" radiation. Losing that radiation reduces the total mass-energy of the object - so that it never gets dense enough to form an event horizon and a true black hole. "There are no such things", Vachaspati told New Scientist. "There are only stars going toward being a black hole but not getting there."

Dark and dense

These so-called "black stars" would look very much like black holes, says Vachaswati. From the point of view of a distant observer, gravity distorts the apparent flow of time so that matter falling inwards slows down. As it gets close to where the horizon would be, the matter fades, its light stretched to such long wavelengths by the dark object's gravity that it would be nearly impossible to detect.

But because the pre-Hawking radiation prevents the formation of a black hole with a true event horizon, the matter never quite fades entirely. As nothing is cut off from the rest of the universe, there is no information paradox.

The idea faces firm opposition from other theoretical physicists, however. "I strongly disagree," says Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. "The process he describes can in no way produce enough radiation to make a black hole disappear as quickly as he is suggesting." The horizon forms long before the hole can evaporate, 't Hooft told New Scientist.

Lab test

Steve Giddings of the University of California in Santa Barbara, US, is also sceptical. "Well-understood findings apparently conflict with their picture," he told New Scientist. "To my knowledge, there hasn't been an attempt to understand how they are getting results that differ from these calculations, which would be an important step to understanding if this is a solid result."

There could be a way to test the new theory. The Large Hadron Collider being constructed at CERN in Geneva might just be capable of making microscopic black holes - or, if Vachaspati is right, black stars. Unlike the large, long-lived black holes in space, these microscopic objects would evaporate fast. The spread of energies in their radiation might reveal whether or not an event horizon forms.

Alternatively, colliding black stars in space might reveal themselves, as Vachaspati says they would churn out not only gravitational waves (like colliding black holes) but also gamma rays. He suggests that they could be responsible for some of the gamma-ray bursts seen by astronomers.

Do Black Holes Exist?

Wed Oct 31 23:07:07 GMT 2007 by Jose N. Pecina


The answer is that they do not. Matter can not collapse in a point, since a point does not have dimensions. Before matter collapses formation of particles antiparticles take place preventing a black hole formation.

Black holes do exist, just not to the point of infinite density. The infinite density is the theoretical situation, the black holes as still miles across though. Even so, a few miles across is extremely dense for something as massive as a black hole.

Assume you have two neutrons approaching or collapsing one into the other, this process has a limit. Those neutrons never collapses since Heinsenberg uncertainty principle prevent they reach a separation shorter than their Compton wave length. Openheimer and Snyder recognized that their conclusion are based on the validation of Fermi Statics and this fails for distances shorter than the Compton wave length of the assemble of particles.

Then how do you explain the Bose Einstein Condensate? That appears to do away with certain effects of the Pauli exclusion principle.

Anyway, to reach the density required to reduce the radius of the object to within the Chandraskhar limit, they wouldn't need to be within a Compton wavelength of each other.

The "point" is non existence, where all matter both stands in and between, shy of four dimensions. If you realize the Higg's field where matter is brought up from a point, you can understand that a black hole is not so curious after all. Energy and matter are interchanged, even as our sun expends her matter as energy, creating more matter, as in plant life, to create more energy, as in food. EM is interlocked eternally, indefinitely, as far as we know. Star light, once was matter, travels forever. Eternity equals no time. No time equals, no space, or something like that.

Black Hole Paradox?

Thu Feb 21 08:58:51 GMT 2008 by Tony Price


Imagine two astronauts 'A' and 'B' falling into a black hole, 'A' just ahead of 'B'.

As 'A' approaches the event horizon, 'B' sees 'A' travel ever more slowly, but never quite reaching the time frozen horizon.

'B' can never overtake 'A', and so 'B' too will never reach the event horizon.

Yet 'B' relative to 'A' remains an outside observer in our Universe.

In the above thought experiment, the black hole is considered truly massive such that tidal forces are not destructive. Also, 'B' can observe 'A' though 'A' becomes more and more red-shifted.

If matter from the observable universe cannot break through the time frozen event horizon, how can the black hole grow in size or form in the first place? It all seems very paradoxical to me, but I bet someone out there can explain it with mathematical as opposed to human logic.

Is It Realy A Black Hole?

Iv been thinking...

Why would it be a hole?

iv been studying black holes for a long time, and i think

i would find a more 3D object in the end. What if a black hole is not a object so dens that it pushes into the fabrick of space and time but only turns into a black spher? and the "event horizon" only a layer of its atmosphere?

Is It Realy A Black Hole?

Mon Apr 28 05:49:28 BST 2008 by Pete


I would have thought you were more likely to find something like the big bang at the other end.

If this dense singular matter and light sucking super gravity spot reaches a criticle mass at some stage. I would be expecting matter and light to be spewing from it everywhere.

Maybe infinty is finite in our perception of universe or multiple universe, could it be limited to a finite amount of matter available ?

Might be more than one universe and the black hole might be a spot where matter is being depleted from ours and being fed into another universe. Ours started with the big bang and has been dying since that occured, black holes may be part of that evolution of life.

Outside universes and possible finite amounts of matter, maybe things other than matter exsist.

Is It Realy A Black Hole?

Fri Sep 19 0857 BST 2008 by Nate


To answer your question on why it's called a black hole.

Black hole is actually just a slang term for "Gravitationally completely collapsed object"

If you look at how it appears on a 3D grid it appears to be a hole in space and time. The high density sucks up “almost" everything in it's reach.

Hawking has come to theorizes that black holes do radiate they're own energy. This can be proven due to the discovery of the 6 different quarks and the laws of quantum physics. (More or less barrowing energy from the future) This theory I can wrap my head around, but can't articulate well enough here to explain.

There may be some newer theories out there that I'm not aware of. Some of you seem to be well versed in them. Feel free to throw them out there for me to read. I've never really heard of any one saying with any sort of credible knowledge that “No, there is no such thing as a black hole." So those of you that believe there to be no such ting please include links.

The Black hole is just the surrounding unit with infinite density (which is still a theory). However it is not so much a "hole" as it is a Point.

Stephen Hawking Explains Creation, Big Bang Sans God

Enter: the black hole.

The black hole, which floats in space, is a star so massive that it has collapsed in on itself. Nothing, including light, can escape its gravity.

"Its gravitational field is so powerful it doesn't only warp and distort light but also time," he explained. Time, thus, doesn't exist in the black hole.

Using this as the final key to revealing how the universe created itself, Hawking explained that if you travel back in time toward the moment of the big bang, the universe gets smaller until it comes to a point where the whole universe is in a space so small that it is "in effect a single infinitesimally small, infinitesimally dense black hole."

He concluded, "You can't get to a time before the big bang because there was no before the big bang. We have finally found something that doesn't have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me, this means there is no possibility of a Creator because there is no time for a Creator to have existed."

You gotta love the fact science was put into the Christian "entertainment" section.

He concluded, "You can't get to a time before the big bang because there was no before the big bang. We have finally found something that doesn't have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me, this means there is no possibility of a Creator because there is no time for a Creator to have existed."

The Universe was created by a black hole. Black holes are the result of collapsed stars. However, this particular black hole wasn't, and nothing existed before it.

I think Hawking is great, but he's gonna have to explain this one again for the benefit of numbskulls like me who find it odd to set scientific precedent aside because the theory somehow stops working.

If we can't see what came before this particular super massive black hole, why is the theory that nothing existed, rather than the super massive black hole is a result of the collapse of a super massive star?

You could try to make Hawkings head explode..

Hawking is entitled to his opinion. But it takes a special brand of dishonest and dumb (rderp brand in fact) to simply evade the next question:

Where the fuck did that original black hole come from?

I'm pretty sure the middle of your ass.

As opposed to your face?

I knew that post would rattle you because it really does expose the baselessness of your superiority complex.

In reality, you, Dummmmbell, are not only nothing special now, you senile fuckwit, but in your entire meaningless existence, you never were anything special.

Science does not answer all questions. In fact, quite regularly, good science opens doors to lots of new questions. And because we ARE ultimately mere human beings, some of the questions may never be answerable by us -- no matter how much stock we put in science and no matter how advanced our knowledge gets or our skills progress.

But the fundamental question of the origin of the universe is simply not answerable by science, at this point. And if you (like a rather retarded lemming) point to Hawking and say "well Hawking says . . . " your appeal to authority is still destined to fail since --

Hawking doesn't know, either.

Listen dimwit....I worked for the same company for forty one years, the last 25 I was the operations manager in one of the largest mainframe computer centers in the SE United States. I retired 19 years ago and live in a 4 br brick rancher on a one and one half acre lot, 220 ft. lake frontage, a dock, a well pump in the lake for irrigation two storage buildings, pontoon boat etc. I know I've hit a nerve when some ignoramous throws a bunch of bull shit in the game. You go ahead and believe that 2000 year old fairy tale if you choose but it just proves that you don't know shit from shinola.
