Stephen Hawking has caused a controversy and backlash after he said that there is no heaven and it a myth.

Hawking is a theoretical physicist whose body is paralyzed by motor neurone disease. He says that humans are like a computer that will stop working when its components fail. “There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark,” he said while speaking to a media company.

Stephen Hawking is a Physicist, cosmologist and he is a physically challenged person also. But he is a miracle boon to the human society, because he believes that human can move with time. Time travel is once considered as a SCI-FI Fantasy.

But Mr. Hawking says he could visit marlin Monroe at his concert or visit Galileo's Experiment live. And also if you want to see who built the Stonehenge, it is there. He has also informed that all physical objects exist in this world in three dimensions. Everything has its own length, breadth and height. Now there can be another kind of length i. e. length in time. We need to study the fourth dimension.

London, November 9 : A new pop single featuring the voice of acclaimed physicist Stephen Hawking as a tribute to astronomer Carl Sagan is up for grabs.

The author of A Brief History of Time blends his voice with dialogues from Sagan’s 1980s TV show Cosmos: A Personal Voyage in the seven-inch single.

The release of ‘A Glorious Down’ is intended to come out at the time when Sagan would have been 75, reports the Telegraph.

London, July 31 : Stephen Hawking, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, is among the 16 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

US President Barack Obama announced yesterday the complete list and said that it showed "an incredible diversity of backgrounds" but added: "Each has been an agent of change. Each saw an imperfect world and set about improving it, often overcoming great obstacles along the way."

London  - British physicist Stephen Hawking is expected to make a "full recovery" after undergoing a series of tests in a hospital in Cambridge, a spokesman for Cambridge University said Tuesday.

The 67-year-old scientist, who is wheelchair-bound and speaks with the help of a voice synthesizer as a result of a motor neurone disease, was rushed to hospital Monday and described as being "very ill."

Stephen Hawking, the famous international physicist, has been appointed to the post of distinguished research chair at a quantum theory and cosmology institute founded by Research In Motion co-CEO Mike Lazaridis.

The institute issued a statement, in which it was informed that regular stays would be conducted by Hawking at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, starting in the summer of 2009.

New York/Waterloo  - Stephen Hawking, 66, the internationally known theoretical physicist, is to serve as guest professor at a Canadian university after he reached retirement age from Britain's Cambridge University.

The Perimeter Institute (PI) for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, said Friday on its website that the British scientist was taking a teaching chair and would travel regularly to Waterloo starting this summer to teach.

London, January 3 : Renowned scientist Stephen Hawking is all set to debut as a television presenter with a new programme for Channel 4.

The show titled ‘Stephen Hawking: Master Of The Universe’, beginning in March, will show the wheelchair-bound genius explaining to his audiences how the universe works.

The 65-year-old Cambridge professor will explain his own and other scientists’ ideas in a manner suitable to make a layman understand them.

The programme will see Hawking examining the mind-boggling theories of his book ‘A Brief History Of Time’, about two decades after he published it.
