Hawkins on life in the universe

Prof. Steven Hawkins is a British theoretical physicist who has worked extensively in cosmology and quantum gravity. Even if he is disabled by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), he remains quite active in the study of the cosmos.

Read here about his thoughts on life in our universe. How about your own thoughts? Are we the only ones "alive" in the universe ... is there intelligent life somewhere else?

Video of recent studies in that area from Nasa´s jet propulsion laboratory (it starts with a BP ad, be patient).

Another video from Hawkins and the universe.

Arianna went overboard and enthusiastically recommended all of these links to a series of videos about Stephen Hawking and the universe: “Seeing Is Believing” Video number 1; number 2; number 3; number 4; number 5. I hope you have time someday to watch them all ;-)

How life began

There are many videos on the origin of life but not many are worth watching. This one by Dr. Susan Fisher from the Ohio State University is not too long, too short, vague or biased. Well, that´s how I feel. How about you?



Here is another on Panspermia, but it is 9 minutes long!!!
Here are links from Wikipedia in Spanish and English, in case you want some background information on the subject; this experiment simulates hypothetical conditions present on the early Earth and tested for the occurrence of chemical evolution.
