Stephen Hawking says 'nothing' was around before origin of universe

[iPhone]

At least science challenges and invites you to think about the origin of universe unlike religion where you’re forced to put faith in medieval and pre-medieval ideas.

Steven Hawkins was a great mind who didn’t let his physical constraints bound him. In his mind he was free the knowledge he shared with the world is timeless.

The Father of Science was a believer, indeed the Fathers were believers, it is only in the relative modern age where ideology has taken a sinister root...indeed there are scientists who are closet believers today...

Why would they need to be closet believers. It's not like they'd be ridiculed for having a person faith or something lol.

Stephen Hawkins would be an Alim according to Quran, his faith belief has nothing to do with that, he was following Quran's invitation unknowingly, explore and research on the creation of the universe. No Muslim can deny that Quran repeatedly invites you to think about creation, man's creation, universes' creation ....... we are still exploring our universe, and what lies beyond it is still an unknown for us, the mind tries to comprehend it but with the limitations and given that the time for human mind's evolution to that level to understand that hasn't come yet ...... so the best of us suffice by saying "Nothing".

Moses (Peace be upon him) was told you won't be able to stand the slightest of exposure ..... the human mind wants to but cannot comprehend the unknown ...... so in a way Hawkins was right.

"[21:16] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them just for amusement."

Hawking further took Earth as an example. He said: “One can regard imaginary and real time beginning at the South Pole … there is nothing south of the South Pole, so there was nothing around before the Big Bang.”

"South of the South Pole" is a wrong comparison. The South Pole exists within something - the Earth.

only ALLAH ALMIGHTY is present from forever before universe.universe not come in existence on its own but created only by ONE GOD ALMIGHTY.nothing is formed without creator

I think there was energy spread much larger than our known universe

• Energy began to gather together

• Energy turned to masses of plasma
• Led to the big bang
• Formed the observable universe with doesn't matter & space
• observable universe is only fraction of size of the pre-big bang universe where the energy was originally spread out
• Universe keeps spreding distant
• All matter to decay via time
• Matter becomes energy
• Energy looses electrons slowly fading to a insignificant presence in space

Here is where there are 2 paths

• The cycle repeats again , the fading energy onces again gather together to form a big bang
• Or they disperse into nothingness

The question is poetic really , will ashes seek embers or will darkness consumes light

Science is a study of matter and scientist only believe in something which can be proved, observed, measured by limited physical senses of Human beings. Can God which is non physical beings could be detected by limited senses of us ? Answer is big No . So when he is suggesting nothing was there before origin of Universe then he refer to nothing as something physical. Secondly time itself is creation of God

This thread is a bit too heavy for the likes of me. Santana anyone?

Having spoken to academics in the UK who are believers, if one is to get ahead in one's respective field one must be very careful of showing faith... it is very much ideologically driven....
Maybe in Pakistan the academics may not have such hurdles. ..???

i will rather beleive hawkings than other sources .. there is no scientific explanation about the origin of universe in any religious text

Only if Poor Hawkins had joined PDF when alive. He would have found answer to all his questions.

Or he could have simply imported cow dung ....... who knows he could have unlocked the next level ....... just by the smell of it.
