The majority of religious adherents in Indonesia believe that human beings are promised eternal life in heaven and the afterlife if they can do good in his life. However, in an interview with The Guardian, Monday (16/05/2011), physicist Stephen Hawking has denied that. He said that the concept of eternal life and heaven is just a mere fairy tale.DIALOGUE THAT HEAVEN IS AVAILABLE
Hawking said the deaths occurred when the brain stops working. "I regard the brain as a computer that will stop working when the components are damaged. There is no life after death or heaven for the broken computer. All of that just a fairy tale for those who fear the darkness," explained Hawking.
In the interview, Hawking also suggested that quantum fluctuations in the early universe created galaxies, stars and life, including humans. "Scientists predict that there are many universes created spontaneously. It is the only chance we have problems in it," said Hawking.
The statement also confirmed the contents of his book The Grand Design, published in 2010. The book states that the creation of the universe and its existence does not need the participation of God. Hawking that the controversial idea sparked debate with religious leaders.
The question then, when the eternal life and heaven do not exist, what to do man in her life? Hawking suggests that the nature of life is to find the meaning of the action taken. "We must find the highest value of our actions," said Hawking.
Hawking himself has said that he was not afraid to die. "I have lived with the prediction of early mortality during 49 years. I'm not afraid to die, but I also do not hurry to die. I still have a lot of things I need to do," said physicist who also writes best-selling book A Brief History of this time in 1988.
In a chance interview, Hawking stated, "The Universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can not solve the equation directly. We need to use Darwin's theory of natural selection for survival. We will give them the highest value."
Hawking also said the most interesting side of science for themselves. "Science becomes attractive when it is able to explain in simple phenomena or relationships any different observations. For example relating the double helix structure of DNA in the biological sciences and the basic equations of physics," said Hawking.
Hawking is known motor neuron disease since the age of 21 years. Doctors predict his life will not be long, but it turns out he lived up to five decades after the diagnosis of the disease. The opportunity to live more it makes Hawking feel he has value life more.
