So what do you think of Hawkings possible new theory.
Quote
" Hawking was reported to have written in his new book 'The Grand Design' that the laws of physics can create the universe out of nothing, it doesn't require God and that his previous use of the word "God" was merely rhetorical"

What do you think of this, do you think Hawking is mis-using his status, maybe Stephen is talking sence or like me, really un certain but open to all views.
To be honest this subject is so mind-boggling massive that would we be able to cope with the truth, that could possibly be only delayed by our small limited maybe disillusioned minds in the sence that would we even be able to comprehend the nature of space, the physics inside a black hole, the big bang etc.
Should we even know the truth.
Should I shut the $%*^ up because its still early lol :cheers2:
