Greetings to all!
Stephen Hawking, the renowned physicist, has died. In his 2001 book, The
Universe in a Nutshell, he built on his previous book, A Brief History of Time,
revealing the ever evolving process of discovery. Commenting on that
process, Hawking observed…
In 1998, when A Brief History of Time was first published, the ultimate Theory
of Everything seemed to be just over the horizon. How has the situation
changed since then? Are we any closer to our goal? … we have advanced a
long way since then. But it is an ongoing journey still, and the end is not yet in
sight. According to the old saying, it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Our quest for discovery fuels our creativity in all fields, not just science. If we
reached the end of the line, the human spirit would shrivel and die. But I don't
think we will ever stand still: we shall increase in complexity, if not in depth, and
shall always be at the center of an expanding horizon of possibilities.
