CNN LARRY KING LIVE

Interview With Stephen Hawking; Science and Religion

Aired September 10, 2010 - 21:00 ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

（以下霍金有關科學和宗教的文字以藍色粗體標出，以便閱讀）

LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, legendary physicist Stephen Hawking will answer this question, did God create the universe?

STEPHEN HAWKING, THEORETICAL PHYSICIST: God may exist, but science can explain the universe without a need for a creator.

KING: His new book made startling and controversial new claims about the origin of everything. Has he unlocked mankind's ultimate mystery?

HAWKING: The scientific account is complete. Theology is unnecessary.

KING: Stephen Hawking on why we exist, next on LARRY KING LIVE.

Good evening. Very special program tonight. Stephen Hawking is a theoretical physicist. He was the Lucasian professor of mathematics at the Universe of Cambridge for 30 years. He's the 2009 recipient of the presidential medal of freedom and co-author of a brilliant and controversial new book "The Grand Design." And we welcome him back to LARRY KING LIVE.

We have a serious of questions planned. Let's get right to it.

Stephen, why is it important to find the grand design of our universe?

HAWKING: I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.

KING: You say that science can explain the universe without the need for a creator. But what is that explanation? Why is there something instead of nothing?

HAWKING: Gravity and quantum theory cause universes to be created spontaneously out of nothing. KING: You write that because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Will you tell me how that law came into existence?

HAWKING: Gravity is a consequence of "M" theory, which is the only possible unified theory. It's like saying why is two plus two four?

KING: I guess simply put, do you believe in God?

HAWKING: God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

KING: So he may. He says I'll pick up on that with the panel. Your book has stirred a lot of controversy. Why do you think people react so strongly to your contention that it's not necessary to invoke God to explain the creation of the universe?

HAWKING: Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.

KING: One of your colleagues out of Cambridge says that science provides us with a narrative as to how existence may happen, but theology addresses the meaning of the narrative. How do you respond to that?

HAWKING: The scientific account is complete. Theology is unnecessary.

KING: Pretty directly put. What gives your life, your existence, meaning?

HAWKING: I have a full and satisfying life. My work and my family are very important to me.

KING: You recently said that you see great dangers for the human race. What are the sources of these dangers? Is it mankind itself, or external factors?

HAWKING: We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.

KING: Well then, what are mankind's chances of surviving these dangers?

HAWKING: If we can get through the next few hundred years, we should have spread out into space. Then an isolated disaster will not wipe out the entire human race.

KING: No, we got to get through the next 200 years though. We'll be right back with more of the directly responsive Stephen Hawking. We'll meet an outstanding panel following him. The book is widely discussed and being reviewed everywhere. The book is "The Grand Design." Right back with Stephen Hawking after this.

HAWKING: According to "M" theory, ours is not the only universe. Instead, "M" theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing. Their creation does not require the intervention of some supernatural being or God. Rather, these multiple universes arise naturally from physical law. They are a prediction of science.

KING: We're back with Stephen Hawking. He's in Cambridge, England. He's the co-author, and we're going to meet the co-author in a little while of "The Grand Design." You have written, Stephen, that time travel was once considered scientific heresy. How likely is it that time travel will one day become a reality?

HAWKING: Time travel used to be thought of as science fiction, but Einstein's theory of general relativity allows the possibility that we could warp space time so much that you could fly off in a rocket and return before you set out.

I was one of the first to write about the conditions under which this would be possible. Unfortunately, it is likely that the warping would destroy the spaceship and maybe the space time, itself.

KING: If you could time travel, would you go forward or backward?

HAWKING: I would go forward and find if "M" theory is indeed a theory of everything.

KING: Do you have a hero? Who is your hero? And if so, why?

HAWKING: Galileo, the first modern scientist who realized the importance of observation. I feel closest to him, because he followed his nose and was a bit of a rebel.

KING: You have said that experiencing zero gravity is one of the most meaningful experiences you've ever had. Why?

HAWKING: Zero gravity was amazing. I could have gone on and on. Being confined to a wheelchair doesn't bother me as my mind is free to roam the universe, but it felt wonderful to be weightless.

KING: What, Stephen, do you most hope people take away from your new book "The Grand Design? ?" In your opinion, it's a great book with a lot of important points. What is the most important point in the book?

HAWKING: That science can explain the universe, and that we don't need God to explain why there is something rather than nothing or why the laws of nature are what they are.

KING: What quality or lesson would you most like to pass on to your children?

HAWKING: Look up at the stars, not down at your feet.

KING: Succinct. And Steven, finally, you are 68 years olds. You'll be 69 in January. You have many admirers, always worry about and wonder about your health. So can you tell us how you're doing?

HAWKING: When I was first diagnosed with ALS, I was given two years to live. Now 45 years later, I am doing pretty well.

KING: Stephen Hawking, who we trust will be with us for many, many years to come with many more books to come, with many more thoughts to come. We thank him very much. Stephen Hawking, theoretical physicist, Lucasian professor of math at the University of Cambridge for 30 years. The 2009 recipient of the presidential medal of freedom and co-author of the new book "The Grand Design."

What do scientists and people of faith think about Hawkings' theories? We'll find out and that and we'll meet the co-author of the book next.

HAWKING: Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only these universes that are compatible without existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.

I would say to my children - look into yourself, the stars within observation of your senses can only be so under the perception and projection of your own consciousness. One leads to another, nothing is possible there, without our consciousness first takes the first seat as an observer.

頂啥呀？連篇翻譯也沒有

霍金的看法是典型的疑神論，他宣稱雖然上帝的不存在是無法確定的事，但上帝的存在對這個世界是沒有什麼意義的。《時間簡史》里霍金就說過，上帝對這個世界的創造，是無所事事的。現在的這些霍金言論，並不比時間簡史中的看法更激進。

對於世界的起源，物理學家能給我們更靠譜的知識，神學家和宗教都TMD的是瞎胡鬧。多重宇宙論（M理論），超炫理論，暗物質，等等雖然是科學假說，但都是可驗證的，可證偽的，無論哪種理論，都沒有上帝的腳色。

孤零零的上帝遙望著宇宙，對它的誕生演變死亡毫無辦法。

是這個意思，上帝有沒有？和我無關，我沒看到有他的必要。

頂一個！
好想坐時間太空梭，什麼時候能發現能夠承受時光穿梭的物質，和人體的保護措施就好了。
