Frases de Stephen Hawking
página 3

Stephen William Hawking es un físico teórico, astrofísico, cosmólogo y divulgador científico británico. Sus trabajos más importantes hasta la fecha han consistido en aportar, junto con Roger Penrose, teoremas respecto a las singularidades espaciotemporales en el marco de la relatividad general, y la predicción teórica de que los agujeros negros emitirían radiación, lo que se conoce hoy en día como radiación de Hawking .

Es miembro de la Real Sociedad de Londres, de la Academia Pontificia de las Ciencias y de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Estados Unidos. Fue titular de la Cátedra Lucasiana de Matemáticas de la Universidad de Cambridge desde 1979 hasta su jubilación en 2009. Entre las numerosas distinciones que le han sido concedidas, Hawking ha sido honrado con doce doctorados honoris causa y ha sido galardonado con la Orden del Imperio Británico en 1982, con el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de la Concordia en 1989, con la Medalla Copley en 2006 y con la Medalla de la Libertad en 2009.

Hawking padece una enfermedad motoneuronal relacionada con la esclerosis lateral amiotrófica que ha ido agravando su estado con el paso de los años, hasta dejarlo casi completamente paralizado, y lo ha forzado a comunicarse a través de un aparato generador de voz. Ha estado casado en dos ocasiones y ha tenido tres hijos. Por su parte, ha alcanzado éxitos de ventas con sus trabajos divulgativos sobre Ciencia, en los que discute sobre sus propias teorías y la cosmología en general; estos incluyen A Brief History of Time, que estuvo en la lista de best-sellers del The Sunday Times británico durante 237 semanas.

Stephen Hawking: Frases en inglés

“Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases.”

Stephen Hawking libro Breve historia del tiempo

Fuente: A Brief History of Time (1988), Ch. 9
Contexto: Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can’t have a safer bet than that!

“God abhors a naked singularity.”

“What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.”

“Many people would claim that the boundary conditions are not part of physics but belong to metaphysics or religion. They would claim that nature had complete freedom to start the universe off any way it wanted.”

"The Quantum State of the Universe", Nuclear Physics (1984) <!-- B239, p. 258 -->
Contexto: Many people would claim that the boundary conditions are not part of physics but belong to metaphysics or religion. They would claim that nature had complete freedom to start the universe off any way it wanted. That may be so, but it could also have made it evolve in a completely arbitrary and random manner. Yet all the evidence is that it evolves in a regular way according to certain laws. It would therefore seem reasonable to suppose that there are also laws governing the boundary conditions.

“Women. They are a complete mystery.”

Response when asked what he thinks about most during the day, "Stephen Hawking at 70: Exclusive interview" http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328460.500-stephen-hawking-at-70-exclusive-interview.html in New Scientist (4 January 2012)

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance. It is the illusion of knowledge.”

Sometimes attributed to Hawking without a source, but originally from historian Daniel J. Boorstin. It appears in different forms in The Discoverers (1983), Cleopatra's Nose (1995), and introduction to The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1995)

“I am discounting reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?”

As quoted in a TED talk, " Asking Big Questions about the Universe http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/242"

“I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was able to reason.”

“Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science.”

“Science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.”

Stephen Hawking libro Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays

Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays (1993)

“Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.”

As quoted in "Return of the time lord" in The Guardian http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/scienceandnature/story/0,6000,1579384,00.html (27 September 2005)

“I used to think that information was destroyed in black holes. But the AdS/CFT correspondence led me to change my mind. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.”

"Stephen Hawking at 70: Exclusive interview" http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328460.500-stephen-hawking-at-70-exclusive-interview.html in New Scientist, (4 January 2012). In his comment that he "used to think that information was destroyed in black holes", he is referring to the black hole information paradox.

“I regard [the many worlds interpretation] as self-evidently correct. [T. F.: Yet some don't find it evident to themselves. ] Yeah, well, there are some people who spend an awful lot of time talking about the interpretation of quantum mechanics. My attitude — I would paraphrase Goering—is that when I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun.”

Heard in person by this contributor when Hawking showed-up in a Caltech physics class taught by Robert Christy in 1980 or '81; when asked about collapse of the state-vector he whispered to his assistant Chris (surname unknown) something at which point Chris stood up and said 'Stephen is paraphrasing Herman Göring by saying "When I hear the words 'Schrödinger's Cat' I reach for my gun."'.
