- Stephen
Hawking's Universes "For thousands of
years, people have wondered about the universe. Did it
stretch out forever or was there a limit? And where did
it all come from? Did the universe have a beginning, a
moment of creation? Or had the universe existed forever?
The debate between these two views raged for centuries
without reaching any conclusions. Personally, Im
sure that the universe began with a hot Big Bang. But
will it go on forever? If not, how will it end? Im
much less certain about that. The expansion of the
universe spreads everything out, but gravity tries to
pull it all back together again. Our destiny depends on
which force will win." --STEPHEN HAWKING
