霍金也感到困惑的问题.docVIP

问题1： Q: If God doesnt exist, why did the concept of his existence become almost universal（如果上帝不存在, 为什么关于他存在概念已经几乎被全世界接受了）?——来自Basanta Borah, BASEL,? 瑞士 A:? I dont claim that God doesnt exist. God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God （我并没有说上帝不存在. 上帝实际上是人们给我们为什么得以存在的原因取的一个名字. 但是我认为,我们得以存在的原因是基本的物理定律, 而不是一个我们可以与之建立个人关系的某个个体. 也就是非人格的上帝）. ? 问题2： ? Q: Does the universe end? If so, what is beyond it（宇宙有终结吗?如果有,那么之后是啥）?——来自 Paul Pearson, HULL, 英格兰 A: Observations indicate that the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. It will expand forever, getting emptier and darker. Although the universe doesnt have an end, it had a beginning in the Big Bang. One might ask what is before that, but the answer is that there is nowhere before the Big Bang, just as there is nowhere south of the South Pole（目前的观测表明宇宙正在加速膨胀. 它将永远膨胀下去,变得更加空旷黑暗. 虽然宇宙没有终结, 但是她有一个大爆炸的诞生起点. 也许有人要问宇宙诞生之前是什么? 答案就是根本没有所谓的大爆炸之前, 就像是说没有比南极点更南方的地方一样）。 ? 问题3：?Q: Do you think our civilization will survive long enough to make the leap to deeper space（你认为我们的人类文明能够存在足够长的时间使得我们得以去探索更深的宇宙吗）?——来自 Harvey Bethea, STONE MOUNTAIN, GA. ? A: I think we have a good chance of surviving long enough to colonize the solar system. However, there is nowhere else in the solar system as suitable as the Earth, so it is not clear if we would survive if the Earth was made unfit for habitation. To ensure our long-term survival, we need to reach the stars. That will take much longer. Lets hope we can last until then （我认为我们的文明还是有很大的机会存活到我们可以殖民太阳系其它行星的. 但是,我们太阳系没有一个象地球一样适合据住得地方. 所以,我不太清楚如果我们把地球弄得不适合居住以后我们是否还可以生存. 为了确保我们长久的生存, 我们需要去探索其它星系, 但这需要更长更长的时间。让我们期望我们能够熬到那个时候吧。 ? 问题4： ? Q: If you could talk to Albert Einstein, what would you say（如果你能够和爱因斯坦对话,你要说啥）?——来自 Ju Huang, STAMFORD, 康涅狄格洲 A: I would ask him why he didnt believe in black holes. The field equations of his theory of relativity im
