The British scientist said in a book that the Big Bang is an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics

British scientist Stephen Hawking said in his new book, The Grand Design (The Grand Design), the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, that God created the universe and that the most current scientific theories become redundant set of a creator. The book, which the British newspaper The Times ahead of today, some excerpts, notes: "Since there is a law like gravity, the universe could create itself, and in fact did, out of nowhere. The spontaneous creation is why there is something, that there is a universe that we exist. " Therefore, he adds, "no need to invoke God to have cosmos.

In his most popular work, A Brief History of Time (A Brief History of Time), a text of disclosure about the universe and its evolution, Hawking, a theoretical physicist internationally recognized for their contributions to questions of cosmology, black holes and quantum gravity suggested that "if we discover a complete theory would be the ultimate triumph of human reason because then we would know the mind of God." Now argues that, just as Darwinism eliminated the need for a creator in the field of biology, new theories of physics make redundant the role of a creator of the universe. The last book, written with the American physicist Leonard Mlodinow, will go on sale Sept. 9, a week before the Pope's visit to Britain.

Current arguments suggest that Hawking has broken with his earlier view about religion, when he held that the laws of physics meant that simply was not necessary to believe that God had intervened in the Big Bang. Now stands, for example, discovered the first extrasolar planet in 1992, helped to dismantle the vision of Isaac Newton that the universe could not arise from chaos but was created by God. This finding "makes certain conditions of our planetary system, the Sun only the fortunate combination of the distance Sun-Earth and the solar mass are much less conspicuous and not at all convincing evidence that the earth was carefully designed to satisfy humans, "write Hawking and his colleague in the new book.

The British physicist has completed 68 years and suffered for decades a serious neurological disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which paralyzed his body almost completely. Due to an emergency tracheotomy was performed some years ago lost the ability to speak and expressed with great difficulty through a computer that runs with his eyes and an artificial voice synthesizer.

Hawking served from 1979 until his recent retirement, the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, who had been his colleague historic Isaac Newton.
