Physicist Stephen Hawking denounced for believing... : Science & Technology

This documentary deconstructs the core philosophies underpinning modern scientific thinking, unveiling the frightening fact that most modern scientists do not believe human beings have free will, a soul, or even anything resembling consciousness. Hawking: Godless, mindless, soulless and hopelessIn "The God Within," Adams takes aim at famed physicist Stephen Hawking, author of the book "The Grand Design. " In that book, Hawking claims that human beings are merely "biological machines" with no consciousness, no souls, no spirit, no mind and nothing but a collection of organized chemicals that run physical brains in a deterministic machine-like way. "You are more than your physical brain and body," Adams insists. Why do religious people ignore human logic, aren't they humans just like everyone else.

Why do women always use emotion over logic. Why do people always use circular logic when they defend the Bible. Not really!

I've been exploring the concept of "simulated suffering", whereby you intentionally choose an action which causes you some suffering, in the hopes of learning/growing from the experience. We do this all the time of course, but there are degrees. And it's the degrees - and the intention - which matters. Consider running, or jogging. March 2010. Airplane passengers flying near thunderstorms could be exposed to dangerously high levels of radiation in the form of terrestrial gamma ray flashes, scientists say.

March 2010

In space gamma rays—the most energetic forms of light—are created by violent events, such as supernovae, and powerful objects, such as neutron stars. Scientists have known for decades that thunderstorms on Earth can also create gamma rays, possibly during lightning production. Storms that make gamma rays usually hover about 9 miles (15 kilometers) above Earth, about the same altitude at which many commercial planes fly. The new study shows that just one of these terrestrial gamma ray flashes, or TGFs, can equal the radiation dosage of about 400 chest x-rays—creating potential hazards for frequent flyers. In theory, stray gamma rays can alter the structure of human DNA, possibly triggering cancer.

Universality

One of the crowning scientific achievements of the 20th century was formalizing the notion of computation. In this section we address the fundamental question of what is computable in this Universe. Surprising revelation of 20th century is that a general purpose computer is capable of performing any computation that any other computer can. Perhaps the most important idea in all of computer science. Disruptive technology which ignited the Computer Revolution. No need for separate machines for processing images and text.

Your Brain as a Neural Network. Your brain is a neural network. One statement that follows immediately from the fact that the brain is a neural network is that every computation performed by the brain is a collective computation, not some other kind of computation.
