Woah

So, in other words, he really doesn't know.

I used to really like Stephen Hawking, but lately he's been making all kinds of wacko statements just to get attention.

 

[Spivitz]

Obviously no one knows, insane thinking about 13,800,000,000 years ago let alone the universe once being the size of an atom

Hawking is extrapolating a graph backwards in time. The universe is expanding now so, if you go backwards in time, the universe shrinks down to the size of a single atom or smaller. Before the Big Bang, there's no way to understand the conditions because 1. We weren't there. 2. There's no way to measure the conditions in the minute pre Big Bang universe.

It's almost like Hawking is sitting in the circle from That 70s Show.

"Like, whoa man. There's this universe (cough, cough)... and it runs on time. It's expanding, man. I tell you it's expanding. But before it expanded, it was still there, man. Just really, really small. (cough, cough)"

What's black and sits at the top of the stairs?


















Stephen Hawking after a house fire!

How do we know it expanded before the Big Bang? If it’s currently expanding, we’re still experiencing the “bang” part, right? Like shrapnel in super slow mo. Also, expanding from what, a center? If there’s a center doesn’t that mean there’s an putter edge?

I didn’t read anything.

Stephen Hawking is a fool, we all know that God created the Earth and universe about 6-7,000 years ago.

Glad to have you back.
