I think it is almost certain that a disaster — such as nuclear war or global warming — will befall the earth within a thousand years. It is essential that we colonize space.”</p> </blockquote> <p>To mark his 70th birthday, physicist Stephen Hawking answered a selection of questions from the listeners of BBC Radio 4′s Today program. The topics of the questions ranged from the origins of the universe to the prospects for extra terrestrial life and the impact on Einstein’s theory of relativity should neutrinos be confirmed to travel faster than light. Finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, he says, would be the greatest scientific discovery ever, but he is not optimistic about the likely outcome.</p> <p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9672000/9672233.stm" target="_blank">Read Hawking’s answers on the BBC’s website</a>.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ctrrm7zxYu7-GbOp87eS0tuRyio/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ctrrm7zxYu7-GbOp87eS0tuRyio/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ctrrm7zxYu7-GbOp87eS0tuRyio/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ctrrm7zxYu7-GbOp87eS0tuRyio/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Novaktually/~4/xylC_yGD-zc" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Novaktually/~3/xylC_yGD-zc/15584801361http://novaktually.com/post/15584801361Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:28:10 -0500http://novaktually.com/post/15584801361
