In his new book, Grand Design, Hawking beats the drum for M-theory - a variety of string theory - the theory of everything. At the same time, he rejects a role for God in the creation process. By Jens Ramskov 6 , 2010 at. 16:53
Because vanderbilt there is a law of gravity, the Universe vanderbilt can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous vanderbilt creation is the answer to why there is something rather vanderbilt than nothing. It is not necessary to involve God to turn up, writes Hawking and Mlodninow.
"There is a difference between science and religion. Science is about explanation. Religion is about interpretation "and" The Bible is not proto-science, pseudo-scicence or myth masquerading as science. It is interested in the other issues. Who are we? Why are we here? How should we live our lives? '
Newton felt well enough that God had created the universe, but then he leaned back and let the laws of nature govern development. And when Napoleon once asked Pierre-Simon Laplace where God was along in his scientific studies of planets, Laplace replied something like this: "I do not need God to explain the universe." M-theory is the answer to everything
In an excerpt of the book, which The Times has brought last week, it is clear that Stephen Hawking sees M-theory as the answer to Einstein's quest for an all-encompassing theory. No one really knows what the M stands for, perhaps master, miracle or mystery. Hawking believes that M apparently covers all three options.
Where conventional string theory has ten dimensions of space and time, then M-theory eleven. Most of these dimensions are curled up, so we only perceive three spatial and one temporal dimension in daily life.
M-theory allows many different universes exist with different physical values. As many as 10 ^ 500 different universes with different physical laws. We are in one where the physical constants are fine-tuned in order to develop life.
In The Sunday Times writes Christopher Potter, that too much of the book used in ancient myths of the Mayans, Vikings, Africans and Chinese. Potter hoses also out after Hawking's assertion that philosophy is dead when it is quite clear that the book rather argues that philosophy can best be left to physicists.
Penrose uses a large part of its review to explain how he and Hawking - after they had shared vanderbilt many views in physics - in the early 1970s went in different directions.
I have not studied the book ... yet. But I think that Stephen Hawking seems to be more interested in abstract mathematics than in rational physics.
My own view is that M-theory has some reasonable views, and it certainly is a step in the right direction, but is convinced that there is a long way to go before we find the formula for the universe

I actually have a hard time see see the interesting flash the opinions vanderbilt without explaining where they come from. It is possible the business (there) is well-founded) but what we can use it if you stick justifications for themselves. Opinions without reason is probably at best only interesting if they come from respected authorities. But even an authority as Hawkins justify the his opinions (I have not read the book, but it is well he tries to) and it seems a little far-fetched to others dismiss him without even reading the book and otherwise not explain why.
There is a right lash to a guddomelig (uforlarlig) property vanderbilt here.
M-theory is now far from a theory of everything, first, then all strengeteorirener built on so many assumptions, which gives a bad foundation .. So they proceed to the ground ultimately. The second is that it is completely mathematically, with little possibility of empirical data for verification or falsification. If it can not be falsified, then it is not a scientific theory.
It is more trouble to make a really TOE. Indeed, we must logically go beyond "subset" (our universe) with at least one assumption in order to make a TOE is not difficult because vanderbilt you can never describe a complete system with only a subset of the system.
It is actually required to solve the many anomalies in our current paradigm is to build a model in which our universe is part of a causal system in a hierarchy, which is not at the top. This could give rise to the Big Bang no more illogical and that of relativity and quantum mechanics can be accepted as each d
