The universe didn't need a God to begin; it was quite capable of launching its existence on its own," says renowned physicist Stephen Hawking explains in his book, The Grand Design. In today's world, where new theories emerge reapply, physicists are constantly adapting new ideologies and theories to new discoveries in their respective fields.

"…if we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God."― Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time

Is Stephen Hawking the smartest man in the world?

No he has a IQ of 150 and the best IQ score ever is 228 by a kid when he was 10 so that should prove he is smarter than Stephen Hawking. But Stephen Hawking is very smart in Science when it come to space and the Universe

How did Stephen Hawking's work helped the world?

While Hawking contributed significantly to our understanding of black holes, it might be better to say that black holes were a natural consequence and outgrowth of the general theory of relativity proposed by Einstein. Hawking proposed that black holes would interact thermodynamically with the universe in specific ways; for example that radiation could be generated by quantum effects near the event horizon (Hawking radiation) and thus carry mass away from it, per Einstein's proof of the equivalency of mass and energy; thus a black hole's mass could decrease over time and eventually it could "evaporate" entirely. The effect of this knowledge, and related knowledge, on society could potentially be deemed somewhat subjective.. (how does a larger understanding of the universe affect any particular society?) but at least, its effect could be comparable to the effects of other discoveries in astrophysics: often, discoveries simply lead to more questions which then demand further study and research.


Is Steven Hawking as clever as were led to believe?

No. Steven Hawking is an incredibly intelligent man who has made several important discoveries and theories in his lifetime. However, he is commonly portrayed in the media to be a genius of superhuman proportions, which is not so. He is indeed human. However, because of his disabilities, he has spent his life in pursuit of knowledge, forgoing life's physical aspects beyond the most basic of necessities. Because of this enhanced focus upon mental prowess, he has achieved more than most. This is similar to anybody who places their life focus on, say, pinball. Under most circumstances, this individual would eventually become better at pinball than any but those who have also dedicated vast amounts of time to pinball.

How does Stephen hawking type even he is in a case of paralysis below neck?

From what I know, Stephen Hawking can still move his eyes and one muscle under his right eye. So they put a kind of scrolling button which he can use to scroll through a computer and select the words he wants to say.


Who are the ten most intelligent people on Earth?

I would say Stephen Hawking is among the top 5, but im not sure for the rest of the people.


What does Stephen W Hawking say holds light inside black holes in 'The Illustrated Theory of Everything'?

It is the strength of the gravitational attraction of the singularity which is the black hole.


What did Stephen hawking say about black holes?

His major contribution to the theory of black holes is that they will gradually evaporate, due to certain quantum effects close to the event horizon.

Can Stephen Hawking say anything he wants when he wants?

Not necessarily. He uses a computer software that helps him speak, as he had pneumonia and had to have a surgery, so he wouldn't be able to talk normal again. He could say many words, but it takes him a long time to say anything, because he controls the software with his cheeks.


Who is the most genius man in this world?

I'm not really sure but i would say Bill GatesVery difficult to specify exactly as there are so many different fields of expertise. One of the most respected presently is Prof. Stephen Hawking
