RUBY TUESDAY - THE GRAND DESIGN by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow


"SPONTANEOUS CREATION IS THE REASON THERE IS SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING, WHY WE EXIST.  IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO INVOKE GOD TO .... SET THE UNIVERSE GOING"   

British physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking says that "there need not be a God behind the creation of the universe".  One of several excerpts printed in the British newspaper, The Times, announcing the publication of his new book The Grand Design, September 9, attempting to answer "the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".

The red ball, a metaphor.  Turn it upside down and it suggests:


PLANETS/ MORNING STARS/ PARALEL UNIVERSES/ NO GOD/ JUST GRAVITY!

  3. The red ball can be the Universe, a planet, the sun, whatever astronomical mystery we wish! Two stars are etched in an ambiguous position. Stephen Hawking has certainly not surprised me with a new theory! It's what I've always thought. (Except that gravity didn't enter my equation!)

  4. Great shot, I love the bright red balloon on the blue pool water. Everything is just a matter of perspective.

    I am anxiously awaiting the release of Hawking's book.

  5. Stephen Hawking has a brilliant mind but there is little chance that he will find the ultimate answer to the mystery of life, the universe and everything! The more we discover the more we realise there is yet more to be found. We have but merely scratched the surface. Each answer stimulates fresh questions and what we think we know now will be superceded or updated by fresh discoveries tomorrow, next year, next century,next millennium (if we haven't destroyed our planet by then)

  7. I LOVE THE RED BALL!!! Fabulous sensation, almost like loss of equilibrium trying to understand it at first glance! Love the poem too, no god, just gravity... Isn't it amazing what comes out when you get to writing?!
