Stephen Hawking Speaks Out On Space Exploration, Time Travel

Humans must continue exploring space, if only for the romance of it, and time travel should be

possible, but engineers will have to figure out a way to warp space-time to be sure, famed physicist

Stephen Hawking says.

Hawking spoke out on those subjects and others in a Sunday interview with PARADE Magazine to

discuss his new book "The Grand Design" with Caltech physicist Leonard Mlodinow.

On paper, time travel should also be in cards because of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity,

which allows for the potential to warp space-time so much that a traveler could leave Earth in a rocket and

return home before he or she ever departed, Hawking said. Of course, that means you have to be able to

warp space-time, which is pretty tricky.

"I showed it would require matter with negative energy density, which may not be available," Hawking said.

Hawking also touched on the need for some cosmic perspective, too.

solitary star:

you referred to "grand design" that written by hawking
I must say this book is so interesting and wonderful to read!this book talk about some philosophical questions like Why do we exist? Where did the universe come from? Did it require a creator?
:wink:
read it!

I saw this good useful text and I wanted to share it with you
:thumbsup:so I post it here because I think it can be a good suggestion

" The Value of Time "
To realize the value of ten years, ask an old man
To realize the value of four years, ask a college graduate
To realize the value of one year, ask a high school student who has failed the final exam
To realize the value of nine months, ask a mother who gave birth to a healthy child
To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby
To realize the value of one week, ask an editor of a weekly newspaper
To realize the value of one hour, ask old friends who are waiting to meet
To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane
To realize the value of one second, ask a person who has survived an accident
To realize the value of one millisecond, ask the person who has won a gold medal in the Olympics
Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when "you can share it with "someone special

[planetstruck]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank u dear sunrise for ur post
.It really makes me think more precisely of time
We should know the value of time & don’t waste it with nonsense matters

[planetstruck]

How to succeed

PLAN while others are playing

STUDY while others are sleeping

DECIDE while others are delaying

PREPARE while others are daydreaming

BEGIN while others are procrastinating

WORK while others are wishing

SAVE while others are wasting

LISTEN while others are talking

SMILE while others are frowning

PERSIST while others are quitting

[X-BLACKHOLE]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be? You're a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing
enlightened about shrinking so other people won't feel insecure
around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do. We are born to
manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us: it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
Nelson Mandela

let me start with a poetry, it will make us think about beauty of stars and Astronomy


a tent song



Till we watch the last low star,
Let us love and let us take
Of each other all we are.

On some morning with that star
One of us shall lie awake,
Lonely for the other's sake.

Witter Bynner, 1917 (TOAOAL-II, p. 1246)

Happy Eid

His perfection procured exaltation

His beauty dispelled the darkness

All his attributes were good ones

Pray for him, and for his family

111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321



Now, take a look at this...


101%



From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:



What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%



THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:



L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did...

Have a nice day & God bless!!

Accept the Pain, Future will be Fruitful

Don't feel the work you are doing is pain, because there will be always a
.reason for that pain or work

.So face the pain, for the pain you face, there will be definitely happiness ahead

Hi There!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-greet009.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

There is a kind of strange cloud, like a roulette, in the north of Australia which formed in the early hours of morning.

It's about 1000 Km in length & between 1 to 2 Km in height.
It's speed is 60 Km per hours.


What an amazing Scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Success - Socrates


A young man asked Socrates the secret of success.
Socrates told theyoung man to meet him near the river the next morning.
They met.Socrates asked the young man to walk with him into the river.
When thewater got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surpriseand
swiftly ducked him into the water.The boy struggled to get out but Socrates
was strong and kept himthere until the boy started turning blue.
Socrates pulled the boy"shead out of the water and the first thing
the young man did was togasp and take a deep breath of air.
Socrates asked him, "what did you want the most when you were there?"
The boy replied, "Air". Socrates said, "That is the secret of success!
When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it!"
There is no other secret.

hi dear stargazers :)
I hope you enjoy the beautiful summer night sky and also the conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter tonight!
I wanted to introduce a special night for Muslims here,named Decree(Qadr) nights!This is a very holy night that the mean spirit of Quran(holy book of Muslims)have sent to the prophet of Islam ,Mohammad(P.B.U.H)at this night and also there is a sad event close to this night, which is the murdering of Imam Ali,the forth Caliph of Muslims and the first Imam of Shiite Muslims.
Totally,muslims have a good opportunity at this night to have some spiritual privacy with themselves and think about what they did and what they want to be and pray and invoke for their prosperity and also their family and friends.
There is also a verses in Quran in Al-Qadr Surah which describes the greatness of this night and its holy spirit in the belief of Islam.here it is:
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.(97-3)Al-Qadr verses 3

the sky is so nice tonight in my place...:yaeh%20am%20not%20d
I wish you a sky full of stars

Now in the West the slender moon lies low,
And now Orion glimmers through the trees,
Clearing the earth with even pace and slow,
And now the stately-moving Pleiades,
In that soft infinite darkness overhead
Hang jewel-wise upon a silver thread.
And all the lonelier stars that have their place,
Calm lamps within the distant southern sky,
And planet-dust upon the edge of space,
Look down upon the fretful world, and I
Look up to outer vastness unafraid
And see the stars which sang when earth was made

[رخساره روشنی]

I love this poem and I thought maybe you woud like it.
The great Overdog,
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye,
Gives a leap in the east.

He dances upright
All the way to the west,
And never once drops
On his forefeet to rest.

I'm a poor underdog,
But to-night I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark.

GOD said
Good friends
must keep in contact!
