"Professor Hawking, you asked to use nuclear bombs before, why are you refusing now?"
"Any armed force will be repelled, any explosion will not be able to break through the protective shield, any communication will be like a stone sinking into the sea … What's the difference between a nuclear bomb and a bullet? Except that it will cause more trouble for ourselves. "Hawking calmly wrote on the board of directors.
In the face of one of the greatest scientists of modern mankind, the heads of state thought that he would have a good opinion in front of everyone, but they didn't expect the result to be so negative.
"So we should just watch without resistance, sing and dance to welcome the alien army occupying the beautiful earth?" A head of state was slightly angry.
Unexpectedly, Hawking said, "No, there is a slim way … We can ask for help from another group."
"What do you mean?" Everyone was confused, including the other scientists.
"Another group? You mean to find another group of aliens to help us? "
This was simply nonsense. Although Hawking always had shocking remarks, it was not so absurd.
But Hawking still said, "Do you remember that some time before Newton died, he began to study theology? And he believed that there was a god in the universe? "
"This …" The heads of state were stunned, but several other scientists were speechless. "This should be a rumor from some superstitious people, right? Mr. Newton was the founder of classical mechanics, how could he have studied theology? "
However, another older scientist said, "No, this is true. I am the current deacon of the Church of Science, and I also went through the archives at that time because of this rumor. Mr. Newton was indeed addicted to primitive religions, ancient gods, and so on in his later years. This caused a strong reaction from the Church of Science at that time. As a great scientist, Newton had a pivotal position, and his superstitious later years were a major blow to the prestige of the Church. "
The older scientist's words caused the other scientists to be surprised. A young man said, "But this did not affect his scientific position. It is normal for old people to have some problems with their minds …"
"No, no, he was very sober at that time. Under the questioning of the Church of Science, he had an in-depth exchange with several scientific authorities who were in charge of the Church at that time. After that, the Church acquiesced to his theological research …" The older scientist said.
"What? How could the Church allow such a thing to happen? "Everyone felt incredulous. In this world, superstition among scientists was a very serious matter.
At this time, Hawking wrote, "After that, Kepler, Einstein, and other predecessors followed in Newton's footsteps and began to study theology in their later years. Without exception, these are all extremely important figures in the history of science, and their behavior in their later years did not lead to the trial of the Church of Science, and they still maintain a very high status of authority. "
Everyone was stunned, especially a few scientists who didn't know anything. They didn't expect the rumor to be true.
After a moment of silence, someone finally asked, "Professor Hawking, what are you trying to say?"
Hawking wrote, "Because two months ago, I also began theological research, trying to find the scientific basis for the existence of God."
"Crazy, crazy! Professor Hawking! Do you know what you're saying? " Faced with the world's greatest scientist spouting such nonsense, the juniors didn't know what to do.
"Why do you want to study theology? Could it be that you, like the other seniors, have begun to abandon your scientific spirit in your old age? "
Hawking wrote, "There is a reason for existence. It is precisely because of the scientific spirit that no matter how incredible it is, it must be studied clearly and not rejected."
He continued to write, "I didn't understand them at first, until I, like those predecessors, saw the door to a new world before the end of my life … You can understand it as God's revelation."
"Pfft! You've destroyed my respect for you, Mr. Hawking! "A young scientist was even a little annoyed.
But at this time, the other older scientists chose to respect him, and they stopped the young scientist from interrupting.
They asked, "Hawking, what is God's revelation?"
Hawking wrote, "It is a conversation between a sage who has died and me."
"Ah? Dead? "
"Yes, the one who talked to me was Hubble. He came in directly from the door when I was alone. I saw that he maintained his image at an academic meeting of the American Astronomical Society in 1924. He told me that I didn't have much time left and asked me to use the last moments of my life to make up for the regrets of the living, or to do my best to benefit mankind. When I died, other seniors would come to pick me up. I remember he said that the ones who would come to pick me up … were Nobel and Schrodinger. "Hawking wrote.
The others were stunned and didn't know what he was talking about.
One person asked, "Pick you up where? Heavenly Kingdom? To see God? "
Hawking denied, "There is no God, and there are no gods in myths and legends. There is only the God's Kingdom of Science that some scientists go to after they die. "
"Ah?"
Hawking repeated, "When I die, they will come to pick me up and become a god."
"Madman, his mind that once made great contributions to mankind has been polluted and eroded by hateful superstition. What nonsense is he talking about?"
"It's over. The attack of the aliens was too big a blow to him. When humans are desperate, they begin to pursue an illusory god. It should be a kind of self-sustenance, right?"
The people present were either politicians standing at the top of society or big names at the top of science.
They couldn't make themselves believe Hawking's words at all. It was simply nonsense.
However, Hawking still wrote calmly, "Friend, it's time for the church to announce those things."
The church's deacon scientist on the scene nodded. Hawking himself also had a high position in the church. Now that it was a critical moment, Hawking had the right to announce some things.
"According to records, Newton, Kepler, Einstein, Maxwell, Oppenheimer, and others have all had the same experience as Professor Hawking. It's just that the people they met were different, but unsurprisingly, they were all scientific seniors who passed away before them."
The deacon said, "Professor Hawking, you are the ninth. You, like the previous three seniors, chose to use the last moments to research and prove the authenticity of this matter and the theoretical basis. You doubt everything and persevere in your spirit of seeking knowledge. You are all proving one thing step by step. "
Hawking wrote, "I didn't prove it. In fact, I still can't understand and have always been skeptical. However, I hope that all this is true. Only when I still have a sense of self after death can I continue to pursue the unknown. "
The deacon nodded and said, "Yes, this may be an unsolved mystery. The idea of becoming a god after death is too ridiculous. Existing science can't prove it at all. Although the church tacitly acknowledges your research to prove its existence, it doesn't recognize its significance."
Hawking wrote, "No, the church's higher-ups began to operate the worship of scientists after Kepler because they believed in it. However, the dead can't interfere with the living. If human beings' fear of death disappears, then human beings will go on the path of self-destruction. So when we met, Hubble told me that only scientists who have made great contributions in life and have great prestige can become gods after death. "
"All the dialogue is true. Only those who have experienced it personally know that it is not an illusion."
"And now, I have thought of a way to prove it."
The crowd asked, "What?"
Hawking said, "When I die, Nobel and Schrodinger will come."
The crowd was in an uproar. This was too crazy. For a false rumor, Hawking intended to use his death to draw out the so-called gods of science. This might be meaningless!
The deacon shook his head and said, "Even if everything is true, according to the records, the group of sages will not interfere with human life at all. After death, people are silent. Even if there is something like a soul, it is impossible to measure it."
The crowd also felt that this method was very strange. If a god came to pick you up, you would be exposed. Then why didn't Newton, Kepler, Einstein, and the others discover anything when they died?
Hawking wrote, "They don't want to be discovered by humans, but it doesn't mean that they can't do it."
"It's very simple to prove this point. You can't measure the soul, but it doesn't mean that you can't measure the black hole, right?"
"I have a data model of the black hole in my heart."
"As far as I know, after their scientific achievements were worshipped and deified by countless people, for some reason, they became something like a god. The human imagination really gave them the ability to use the laws of nature out of thin air."
"Although everything is just my guess, it is worth a try in this situation."
"If a god appears in front of humans, it will have a great impact. I hope you can try to cover up the truth."
The crowd was still hesitating. The deacon said, "There is no medicine for regret in death."
"Death is not the worst. Ignorance is." He tilted his head and said firmly.
