Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Stephen Hawking on God, artificial intelligence, and mankind’s future

Born in Oxfordshire in 1943, Stephen Hawking studied physics in Oxford. He was diagnosed with a rare form of neuron disease at the age of 21 and was said he would live only a few years. However, he went on to Cambridge for his postgraduate research in cosmology and became a professor of mathematics, a role once held by Sir Isaac Newton. He passed away on March 14 at the age of 76 in Cambridge.

He was a brilliant scientist, known for his theories on black holes and relativity, and inspired scientists, astronauts, and students. Though he lost his speaking ability, he was still able to communicate through a speech-generator by using a single cheek muscle.

His daughter once said you could ask any question to him. One of his famous quotes says if one is disabled, one should concentrate on the things that one can do, and not regret the things that one can’t do. He also predicted that Artificial Intelligence would take off on its own and redesigns itself at an ever-increasing rate.

Enjoy seeing this brief video to feel his intelligence and foresight.
