It’s crazy that this man was diagnosed with ALS when he was 21 and was only given 2 years to live. He survived 55. RIP Stephen you will be missed.
That was his motivation
Because of this, many years ago, the ALS website removed him from their list of famous people with this diagnosis. This sparked much controversy thru the world, from claims he's been continually replaced and passed long ago, but academia gifted hard off him for so long... To ALS families being offended and insulted. It definitely makes me wonder. But will we ever know? I do know when I was really into his work in the early 1990's, he inspired me to get into physics and I recall there was only one or two aids who could somewhat translate his communications which degraded heavily over time and I grew highly suspicious when they removed them, replacing them with this device which I don't believe is truly what we are lead to believe. It's more like they've turned this icon into a human puppet if that's even him. It's like they put a photo up and make computer play back words which could come from anywhere. Why not give him a man's voice? They could pick anything. But it's like they're trying to emphasize the technology as if to appeal to our mind that it's a technological authority and so whatever is said is untouchable and the final gospel to not be questioned. I would appreciate a research journalist totally unbiased with no agenda,... To do a deep dive expose on his life, who he lived with and who took care of him, what happened to the aids, interview them and get receipts and medical records etc. I just want the truth. They could call it a brief history of his time. To give his actual voice, which would be great in my opinion. I really hope he wasn't exploited and I really hope others weren't as well.
I hope he got saved
Eddie Redmayne richly deserved the Academy Award he won for "The Theory of Everything"
Rest In Peace one of the worlds smartest and bravest people. 😪 Stephan hawking 1942-2018
Stephen hawking, a brilliant man & mind. He's a inspiration and mentor to myself and others. I
The motivation he gives me is un imaginable
Ruben T he’s very fucking smart mate and prove God exists
1- *person
2- *Stephen
3- Rest in peace *to one...
He was born in 42???? Wtf
The amount of sheer disrespect in these comments is crazy! We should be thanking Hawking for his contributions to science and for his willingness to share some of his knowledge when it is so difficult to communicate. Be kind.
Be kind to me tonight beutiful
What contributions?
You're absolutely right, Lissie. Ignorant people sometimes say a lot of stupid things.
Harrison Hicks
Well since Lissie wasn't able to answer my question maybe you can? What contributions has this man made other than theories?
Jackson H Lol if you don't think scientific theories contribute to our overall understanding of the world (and that that's a big deal) then there's nothing I could say to change that. Regardless, it is still nice to be kind to others.
I don't see any negative comments here. What i see are the comments of people who are talking about the negative comments. Wtf
Same
All the negative comments old and can't be seen anymore
Exactly! i too felt the same Chandra.
You're also doing the same
Ol
Negative comments 2%
Positive comments 1%
Comments against negative comments 96.7 %
Others 0.3%
I believe in GOD, I love yall
Syed so true
Is this a negative comment?

Today i have read about your life in my school. you are the example of the world that nothing is impossible in this world you have proved this..
Bhawak Shrestha Agreed. He is an inspiration For scientists everywhere. #Legend 😎
what
Bhawak Shrestha he proved god Is impossible but yeah he is a good man
he is also not with us anymore
Proved ONE KIND of God is impossible, arguably. Perhaps it is a good thing anyway, to narrow the field down?
"There is nothing bigger or older than the universe." God that's a beautiful statement.
I wanna smash
What God?
He should have continued with "...except your mom"
Why is there this obsession about there being nothing in the beginning of the universe maybe its the other way round...
this is actually the most obvious thing he ever said
Your contributions are unparalleled
Stephen Hawking died 2 years ago, at 76. The saddest part is that the word lost a wonderful scientist and man. For me, the second saddest is that I never got to see him in person.
Don’t know if I’d call him a wonderful man now lol
Rest In Peace Stephen Hawking He truly is extraordinary
Rest in peace Stephen! Thanks for everything you've done in science. You will always be remembered.
I think this is a great Ted talk, I'd love to see more from Stephen Hawking. Also, people can have their thing, as long as their thing isn't going into the comments section of a wonderful and inspirational video like this, and trying to force their opinion on others. This is a great talk no matter what you believe, and if people who are willfully ignorant actually take time to watch and understand this video, then comments like these wouldn't exist, and we would actually be able to have a nice discussion about the video instead of trading hateful remarks while more and more people jump in.
I see him smirking at his own jokes.
Ikr :D
Charging everyone royalties for their existence. 😃📜 Who's going to get paid?
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
What a pleasure to hear Stephen Hawking, what a great man! What a mind and what a humor.
Stephen Hawking | RIP | 14. March 2018
truly was the greatest human of all time. of the past, present and future :(
Professor Hawking, you will live on through your work and your amazing life

Stephen Hawking is just so cool
When you think about it, once you've achieved such knowledge, if he was a dousch, he would probably think of us as the cripples, rather then himself, as he's achieved a higher understanding of the world around him, and has ascended in knowledge in general, lol so did albert einstein.
Thanks, but its just like, from my perspective, if you've gotten so smart, you can overcome being crippled, you kind of have a right, to make fun of everyone for being inferior, despite you're lack of physical function.
I see no knowledge.. i see opinion as far as the universe..
While I say that - I DO respect his opinion. He is highly esteemed and admired by many. Hawking is well educated and versed.. however it is important to note.. that's ALL most of it is - opinion as the universe and galaxy go. I do think comparing this man with Albert Einstein is like comparing an apple to a pizza. Of course.. that is my opinion - keyword.. opinion. Just like a rectom - everyone has one and willing to share it with anyone aiming a spotlight on them.- some don't even need a spotlight lol.
I disagree. With intelligence comes empathy--if he is truly intelligent he would not look down on others because he understands their positions as much as he understands his own.
Think about it: it takes a lot of ignorance to judge others at all. Aren't we all born as who we are against our wills? No intelligent person would judge (although intelligence has many different aspects, so maybe emotional intelligence was beyond his reach, although I doubt it) others on something so trivial as level of intelligence--it isn't a competition, we learn so that we can progress.
Basically the best thing that humans have 'is' our brains.
this man deserves respect.i dont know if and what his theories can teach but his way of life teach so much more between the words.endurance,patience,being humble,endeavor pain and so many difficulties that so many others would have just given up and yet he copes and looks with eyes out of himself to the skies.respect
This mans story is truely remarkable God bless him that he's even alive and able to share his therioes about life..
That God that should bless him is the maker, not evolution
One of the greatest minds in the world
Smart & funny. cool dude.
+LivingInVancouverBC: Hi. I'm just wondering, do you only say this because he is popular, and idolized by the world, or would you feel the same for a poor person, with only a basic education, suffering from a similar disease?
+AsknotwhatUcan
Well, maybe if they were smart and funny!
LivingInVancouverBC In other words; "if you could benefit in some way."
+AsknotwhatUcan Why would he say about someone disabled or someone in general, that they are smart and funny, if they werent smart and funny?
wat
Professor Stephen Hawking is truly amazing with all of the contributions that he has made to science. We will never forget about you rest well professor ❤🕊️
Rip to one of the brilliant minds of the planet
R.I.P. Mr. Hawking thank you for your contributions in science & physics. You will be missed 😢
He is amazing, I love his work, and also his sense of humour as well
Genius man, brilliant legacy R.I.P. Stephen Hawking, you will be missed dearly.
4 years ago today SH bright mind faded. Miss you prof!
RIP Steven Hawking. You always inspired me and influenced my life in so many ways ❤
I am frankly amazed so much by this man's life.
He is tremendously remarkable. What a human being!! I have the utmost respect for Stephen Hawking
What a brilliant man, fantastic books out of his too. Never forgotten
RIP Hawking, the things you did for science are unprecedented. Thank you so much
I learned many things from his written book "A brief History of Time ." I am much indebted to Prof. Dr.Stephen Hawking., a great silent genious ever lived on earth in our time. He is successful to complete his life cycle worthily as Physicists .I have all honours due to him in my heart.Peace be upon Prof Stephen Hawking .
R.I.P you were and still are the smartest person i know of in this couple decades thank you for the smarts people need now a days R.I.P
You'll never be forgotten stephen... we will miss you
The voice of the machine for Stephen hawking is just like spodermen

Rip :'(
if there is someone in this world who has given me motivation to try since childhood, it's this man. RESPECT.
I was supposed to have an interview with Steven hawking when I was 6-7 years old because of my health at the time [some new illness that I was the first to ever have honestly I have no idea I woke up and my body was paralyzed from the waist down] and I never even realized how weird that was until a couple years ago . Rip Steven hawking a brilliant mind.
That's crazy
really? or is this made up?
We lived in an era where centuries from now they will quote this man.
That's amazing!!!
u watch the video bro
you are great Stephen sir rest in peace.
One of the greats of our time. Rest easy prof!
Albert Einstien and Stephen Hawking have a lot in common! They both were ahead of their times! The future of the Universe is in their hands! There are many secrets of the Universe to discover! Keep up the good work!
this man is remarkable
Good night forever Stephen Hawkins... may your words echo the universe for years to come
Rest In Peace Stephen Hawking 🙏
1942 - March 13, 2018
I must say he has shown some very interesting findings. Wish I would of known more about him before he passed. I seek knowledge whether I agree or not.
What interesting findings?
A bit of a tear hit my eye when he spoke of his disability. He was thankful and gracious to continue educating and pursuing knowledge..and here ,most of us are just taking things for granted..thank you dr hawking
"I have been very lucky that my disability has not been a serious handicap. Indeed, it has probably given me more time than most people to pursue the quest for knowledge." - Stephen Hawking
Why did this quote strike me?
It reminds me that people that experience a serious mishap, are the ones that truly recognise and appreciate the value of life.
This mishap/near-death experience serves as a wake-up call to them, something to ponder on when they're alone with their thought.
'What if that day was the last day of my life?'
This makes death more tangible, more visualizable, closer to their sensation.
In doing so, they strive to make life more meaningful, more worth it, more impactful. Focusing purely on what truly matters to them.
Here, this quote highlights that the "quest for knowledge" as Stephen Hawking's true priority in life.
And this ted talk was the evidence that he has made progress to pursue his own priorities in life.
This truly made his life worth living.
Relevant quote - "Death gives life meaning"
Honestly it's beyond human comprehension..we will never know what's out there and if we are the only thing in the universe.... This man is a freak of nature and a inspiration.
Very disrespectful comments here.... A great scientist who has proposed many scientific theories and his resistance to ALS for more than 40 years and you haters are just ordinary people hiding behind a screen. Who are you to judge a great man?
frank alex
only if my captor is a smoking hot bombshell
+Gregory House wow what a simple minded human you are. why would you even click on this video? I'm surprised you even know who he is.
*****
he's a dumbass who can't even remember how to use his own legs
+Gregory House 1/10 troll
*****
are you rating my looks?
many people make fun of Stephen Hawking but I am interested in him. The guy just fascinates me. One of the smartest people alive. All of you people who think that he is just weird, you are completely wrong. This guy could possibly be smarter than Albert Einstein.
Zhacko25 who the frick makes fun of him? LEMME AT EM
@@LmaoMeowz real
Rest In Peace my friend
Truly great....I seriously wish that I could meet him sometime in the future n listen to this great hero in front of me
shame he dont believe in god ah?
I have always wanted to listen to this speaker Thank you 🙏🏾 Ted Talks I’m a late bloomer with something’s I’ve seen this professional but I be never thought 💭 to truly take time and focus on the information like I am willing and able to now in my life I will not look past the comment next to mines because it already warned there were ignorance so I am focusing on the message again 😊
He was a genius and never will be forgotten. I take off my hat to him
He was just a DUNCE!!
@@areshera3245 ur a dunce
@@areshera3245 Stephen Hawking was the best and smartest man mankind has ever had and has completely revolutionized physics despite his disability.
This man... This man is beyond genius. He questions things that we have always questioned, but this man can comprehend it. There is no words that I know to describe this man with the description he deserves. Beyond genius. Way beyond.
He doesn’t comprehend anything, he just makes long drawn inferences and assumptions based off of his current understanding. In thinking they were wise, they became fools.
May he rest in peace,he was the hero of so many people and I’m sure he still will be
He is a hero
One of the most valuable TED talk
😍
Rest in peace, Stephen Hawking (Pi Day 2018). I suppose now you have clearer answers to your big questions.
Thank you very much for thai captions :)
HE IS SUCH A BRILLIANT WE ALL HAVE TO INSPIRE BY HIS WORDS- ''WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY ''
Alot of what he said was very bone chilling to say the least.
Rest in peace, you glorious man.
Hawking is amazing, he faced/faces such hardship and yet still manages to keep his humor. I think that's pretty amazing, not to mention he could outthink anyone on this planet, but that's a given.
This is honestly my first time hearing his computerized voice. Truly remarkable man. You'll forever be remembered.
inspiring... you know he made no excuses and neither will I :)
When I was in class 5 and first time I was known about the universe and its indefinite size; i started to imagine that if nothing had existed then what would happen nothing; no earth ,no sun, no solar system, no universe and no anything; this thought always made my head burst out; I couldn't control my mind and thought; Nowadays sometime even this thought comes and I try to deviate my thought to other path; Even nowadays if I think like that my mind burst out.....😢😢😢😢
We didn't deserve you. It deeply saddens me knowing we will never meet in this life. But you were someone for me to aspire to be like, no matter how unlikely.
Rest in peace sir🙏
Stephen Hawking is a genius..
It saddens me every time I watch a amazing video about science and learning and expanding the human mind, but then look at the comments and see a swarm of mindless religious trolls ( most of the time christian) saying hard proven facts aren't true. Why? It unrelated, unneeded, unwanted.
Yeah we were all there. Solid proven evidence. Btw just because we think does not mean it is true
HowToBasic
I know that. That is why I like to watch videos like this. To LEARN. Not to be a ignorant worker at a subway station, complaining about someone disability.
Internet sorry I forgot there were no emotions when you type. I was mocking it. We were not there during the "Big Bang". We did not create energy because you say energy can not me created nor destroyed. We have no idea it expanded. We only think it happened
HowToBasic
" We only think it happened" Yes, that is true, but it is the best explanation we have. And I knew you were joking too.
internet warrior then don't look at the fucking comments.
The subtitles made me cry, almost!
Bless you Stephen Hawking even in you're dying moment, sometimes I like to believe you where still here with an well ablated body.
"Iam discounting the report of UFOs .why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos"-Stephen hawking.
Iam laughing very hard at this 😂😂😂
I hate how UFO's are commonly misunderstood for flying, extraterrestrial saucers. If you observe an object in the sky that is unknown to you, by definition, it is a UFO.
Those guys didn't laugh as they were still processing what he said in the sentence before the joke
i miss this guy man
Very interesting speech from an extraordinary person. It gives me hope for humanity.
You know, it's sad that some people make fun of him having to talk through a computer. But you realize that's his amazing mind typing all that in with his cheek muscle? All this smart science sh!t! I love this man for his intelligence and the amount of effort to prepare these amazing speeches. I honestly don't hear the computer, I hear the amazing mind of Stephen. He's absolutely incredible. I would pay to go one of these speeches.
There is nothing bigger or older than the universe. The questions I would like to talk about are:
1. Where did we come from?
2. How did the universe come into being?
3. Are we alone in the universe?
4. Is there alien life out there?
5. What is the future of the human race?
Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time. Then it was discovered that the universe was expanding. Distant galaxies were moving away from us. This meant they must have been closer together in the past. If we extrapolate back, we find they must have all been on top of each other about 15 billion years ago. This was the big bang, the beginning of the universe.
But was there anything before the big bang? If not, what created the universe? Why did the universe emerge from the big bang the way it did?
We use to think that the theory of the universe could be divided into two parts. First there were the laws like Maxwell’s equations and general relativity that determine the evolution of the universe given its state over all space at one time. And second, there was no question of the initial state of the universe. We have made good progress on the first part and now have a knowledge of the laws of evolution in all but the most extreme conditions, but until recently we have had little idea about the initial conditions for the universe. However, this division into laws of evolution and initial conditions depends on time and space being separate and distinct. Under extreme conditions, general relativity and quantum theory allowed time to behave like another dimension of space. This removes the distinction between time and space, and means the laws of evolution can also determine the initial state. The universe can spontaneously create itself out of nothing. More over, we can calculate the probabilities that the universe is created in different states. These predictions are in excellent agreement with observations by the WMAP satellite of the cosmic microwave background, which is an imprint of the very early universe. We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence.......
vialogue.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/ted-talks-worth-talking-about-stephen-hawking/
My life did not began at some big bang. I appreciate some of his knowledge. If we all agreed with Mr. Hawkins, that is saying none of us is studying. We can't all agree. But Mr. Hawkins is very highly respected.
God are bigger then the universe and we come from god cause he made us in his own image and that's facts
God made everything

Thank you for all your wisdom, enlightening and for open new frontiers, in my mind and in our planet. Engage!
Wonderful. It’s hard to comprehend how we are beings capable of this level of insight into our own universe. The depth of knowledge we have about the way the world around us works on an atomic level is astounding. That we are conscious fucking beings is mind blowing. I just can’t even fathom.
He was so beautiful, and I mean physically. So adorable and attractive. You can see how much hes suffering as he occasionally closes his eyes or rolls his eyes back and heaves a breath. I miss him everyday, life has lost its light.
The good thing about Dr. Hawkin's lecture is that google automatic subs do work pretty well.
If I'm not wrong this talk is similiar to the beginning part of Hawking's A Brief History of Time. Isn't it?
Can somebody explain how mr Stephen was able to speak into that device and why it's not widely used? Also what is the technology and mechanics being used? An invitation to think.
@@ComradeDMan thanks for your answer but i advice you to do a little bit of research before engaging such topics, such technology you're talking about does not exist, the technology behind this device is open for public to try it at anytime, go ahead and try it.
I think he is an amazing human. I'm trying to studying about who he is and what he dose I'm in the 9th grade. Unfortunately its to complex and I can barley pass pre algebra so what he was talking about is way to complex. Hopefully I can learn more about him and what he dose, this summer. 🌺💜
I miss him man..
He's like totally fitting into sci fi
He is one of the greatest minds to of ever lived. This is the type of person the youth should strive towards being like.
Historical...the world owes your sacrifice to search and enlightenment of true... Thanks professor and Genius... Eternity bless you and your family 👍🇦🇷🌎
Wonderful man!!!
