Stephen Hawking gave a TED talk where he discussed some of humanity's biggest questions such as the origin of the universe and existence of alien life. Hawking explained that recent advances in physics have provided insights into the initial conditions of the universe and allowed time to be viewed as a dimension. He asserted that life likely exists elsewhere in the universe and that humanity's survival depends on expanding out into space.
Hawking
- 2. Stephen Hawking is the Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at Cambridge, an author of many books such as A Brief History of Time He is heralded as one the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein
- 3. Questioning the Universe The questions Hawking proposed are : Where did we come from? How did the Universe come in to being? Is there alien life out there? What is the future of the human race?
- 4. Hawking states that until recently, we have had little idea about the initial conditions for the universe.
- 5. This division into laws of evolution and initial conditions, depends on time and space to be separate and distinct. Under extreme conditions, general relativity and quantum theory allow time to behave like another dimension in space.
- 6. Hawking states that the universe can in fact created itself and back this fact up with observations of the galaxy.
- 7. We think we have solved the mystery of creation he says. Perhaps we should patent the universe, and charge everyone royalties for their existence
- 8. Are we alone in the universe? He asserts that if life created itself on this planet, life could very well exist on other suitable planets in the universe.
- 9. Hawking states that if we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, we should make sure we survive and continue. Our only chance of survival as a species is to look outward towards space and not inward towards the planet earth only.
- 10. Stephen hawking best follows the 3RD COMMANDMENT Thou shalt reveal thy curiosity and thy passion.
- 12. Hawking, receives a 5 in dynamism because to hear one of the greatest minds of our time speak on a subject that is imperative to the survival of humanity should receive such a high rating. It is amazing what the brain can do when one uses it for the betterment of himself and those around him.
- 13. REYNOLDS AND DUARTE TIPS: Simplicity Just enough information to fulfill the audiences needs.
- 14. Sir Kens speech was driven by humor as opposed to S. Hawkings speech which was very direct, informative, and fact driven.
- 15. Sir Kens 2nd speech could be deemed more entertaining considering the art involved. Hawking kept his audience engaged as the topic seemingly has more depth and severity.
- 16. In my opinion, the keys to a successful speech are: Content Delivery and a little bit of Humor
