23. Stephen Hawking Rettet Die Menschheit Goedart Palm berichtet auf heise.de ¼ber die kontroversiellen Aussagen Hawkings, DNAveredelte Menschen m¼ssten intelligenter werden, um nicht die Weltherrschaft an Computer abzutreten. Inklusive Benutzer-Kommentaren. http://www.heise.de/tp/deutsch/inhalt/glosse/9448/1.html

Stephen Hawking rettet die Menschheit Goedart Palm Nun ist diese Befürchtung nach Myriaden von Sci-Fis, die den Albtraum in jeder erdenklichen Weise durchdekliniert haben, nicht allzu originell, aber Hawking hat wenigstens ein hochpraktisches Rezept parat, diese Bedrohung listenreich zu kontern - ganz nach Albert Einsteins Formel "Intellektuelle lösen Probleme, Genies verhindern sie". Menschen müssen klüger werden. Das ist eine Idee, die auch jenseits der vermeintlichen Bedrohung durch megakluge Rechner ihren humanen Charme hat. Aber der Appell des Naturwissenschaftlers richtet sich nicht an desolate Bildungseinrichtungen, etwa an den hoffnungslos antiquierten Betrieb der Alma Mater, sondern direkt an die Biowissenschaften. H Scheint so, dass das "HAL-Syndrom" nun auch zeitverzögert seine infektiösen Wirkungen in Cambridge entfaltet. HAL, der Supercomputer aus Kubricks 2001, musste ja schon erfahren, was es heißt, sich mit machtbewussten Menschen anzulegen. Der damalige Retter der Menschheit, Astronaut Dave Bowman, war allerdings - rein dna-technisch betrachtet - nicht intelligenter als HAL. Er raubte der künstlichen Intelligenz schlicht den elektronischen Lebenssaft. So simpel ist das: "Hör' auf, Dave. Ich habe Angst." HAL`s intelligente Ressourcen reduzierten sich dann auf das erste Lied, das ihm seine menschlichen Schöpfer einspeisten: "I am half crazy" (In deutscher Übersetzung trällert er "Hänschen klein") - und segnete damit doch sehr menschlich und herzergreifend das Zeitliche.

27. A Brief History Of Time - Stephen W. Hawking quotations from the stephen W. hawking book. http://www.generationterrorists.com/quotes/abhotswh.html

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME Stephen W. Hawking Our Picture of the Universe Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory... Each time new experiments are observed to agree with the predictions the theory survives, and our confidence in it is increased; but if ever a new observation is found to disagree, we have to abandon or modify the theory. Today scientists describe the universe in terms of two basic partial theories - the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics... The general theory of relativity describes the force of gravity and the large-scale structure of the universe, that is, the structure on scales from only a few miles to as large as a million million million million (1 with twenty-four zeros after it) miles, the size of the observable universe. Quantum mechanics, on the other hands, deals with phenomena on extremely small scales, such as a millionth of a millionth of an inch. Unfortunately, however, these two theories are known to be inconsistent with each other - they cannot both be correct. The discovery of a complete unified theory, therefore, may not aid the survival of our species. It may not even affect our life-style. But ever since the dawn of civilization, people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable. They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world. Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest. And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.

However, London was a dangerous place during World War II and Stephen's mother was sent to the safer town of Oxford where Stephen was born. The family were soon back together living in Highgate, north London, where Stephen began his schooling. In 1950 Stephen's father moved to the Institute for Medical Research in Mill Hill. The family moved to St Albans so that the journey to Mill Hill was easier. Stephen attended St Albans High School for Girls (which took boys up to the age of 10). When he was older he attended St Albans school but his father wanted him to take the scholarship examination to go to Westminster public school. However Stephen was ill at the time of the examinations and remained at St Albans school which he had attended from the age of 11. Stephen writes in [2]:- I got an education there that was as good as, if not better than, that I would have had at Westminster. I have never found that my lack of social graces has been a hindrance.

30. StarChild: Dr. Stephen Hawking Tells about the physicist known for his study of black holes. http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/whos_who_level2/hawking.html

Dr. Stephen Hawking Isn't that amazing? Dr. Hawking is best known for his discovery that black holes emit radiation which can be detected by special instrumentation. His discovery has made the detailed study of black holes possible. Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8, 1942. At the age of 17, he enrolled at University College, Oxford. He wanted to study mathematics, but resorted to the study of physics when math was unavailable. He pursued a Ph.D. in physics despite being diagnosed with Ameliotrophic Lateral Sclerosis while at Oxford. This disease is progressive and slowly affects the nerves supplying all muscles in the body. In 1985 he became ill with pneumonia and since that time he has required 24-hour nursing care. Through Dr. Hawking's incredible determination and with the help of family and associates, he continues to work. In 1970 he began work on the characteristics of black holes. As a result of his research, Dr. Hawking predicted that black holes emit radiation in the X-ray to gamma-ray range of the spectrum . In the 1980s he returned to an earlier interest in the origins of the Universe and how quantum mechanics may affect its fate. He has co-authored many publications such as "300 Years of Gravity" and "The Large Scale Structure of Space-time". Dr. Hawking has written books such as

A brief history of Stephen Hawking Our modern day Einstein? It's all "media hype", says Stephen Hawking. He is a rare celebrity scientist. He's even had a TV cameo role in Star Trek in which he plays poker with scientific icons Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Yet when asked about comparisons between himself and the two scientists, he calls it all "media hype." Once asked how he felt about being labeled the world's smartest person, he responded: "It is very embarrassing. It is rubbish, just media hype. They just want a hero, and I fill the role model of a disabled genius. At least I am disabled, but I am no genius." Part of Hawking's celebrity stems from his accomplishments in the face of physical adversity. Hawking has ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's disease, a neuromuscular disease that progressively weakens muscle control. As a 21-year-old graduate student in cosmology at Cambridge University, doctors predicted an early death for him. Today, he's 56 and married with three children. He gets around in a wheelchair, and after completely losing the use of his vocal chords in an operation to assist his breathing in 1985, he communicates through a computer. A speech synthesizer "speaks" for him after he punches in what he wants to say, selecting words in the computer software by pressing a switch with his hand. Unfortunately, it makes him sound like he has an American accent, he says.

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality English Hawking, Steven W. (1942-) British theoretical physicist born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. Due to affliction with Lou Gehrig's disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS), Hawking is confined to a wheelchair and is unable to speak without the aid of a computer voice synthesizer. In 1973, Hawking showed that black holes radiate as if they have a temperature proportional to their surface gravity, and therefore evaporate over time. In 1974, Hawking proposed that black hole radiation laws were equivalent to thermodynamic laws He showed that the entropy is where A is the surface area, c is the speed of light G is the gravitational constant and is h -Bar Whereas Hawking has proposed that physical singularities can occur only inside black holes where they cannot be seen, physicists Kip Thorne and John Preskill believe observable ("naked") singularity can exist. Hawking therefore made a bet with Throne and Preskill in 1991. After supercomputer simulations by M. Choptuik showed how a naked singularity could exist, Hawking was forced to concede the bet ("on a technicality," according to Hawking) on Feb. 5, 1997. In concession, Hawking presented his colleagues with "adequate raiments to shield their nakedness from the vulgar view."

Quantum mechanically, black holes radiate, with a radiation known as Hawking radiation, after the British physicist Stephen Hawking who first proposed it. The animation at top left cartoons the Hawking radiation from a black hole of the size shown at bottom left. The blobs are supposed to be individual photons. Notice, first, that the photons have `sizes' (wavelengths) comparable to the size of the black hole, and, second, that the Hawking radiation is not very bright - the black hole emits roughly one photon every light crossing time of the black hole. So a black hole observed by its Hawking radiation looks fuzzy, a quantum mechanical object. This is one animation that I did not compute mathematically. How do you draw a quantum mechanical object, whose appearance depends not only on the object but also on the way the observer chooses to observe it? I figured my impressionism was good enough here. Hawking radiation has a blackbody (Planck) spectrum with a temperature T given by kT g c c r s where k is Boltzmann's constant , hbar = h , and g r s is the surface gravity at the horizon, the

Three cars have converged on the last handicapped parking space, and their rattled drivers painstakingly exit their vehicles to berate one another.
