"There is no God," says Hawking in his posthumous book

"God does not exist," says physicist Stephen Hawking in his latest book, published just a few days ago. The book, finalized by his family after the death of the scientist, presents answers to questions that Hawking has very often received while he was with us. Hawking answers many questions, about God, about his belief that there is a life on other planets, whether artificial intelligence will surpass that of human beings and whether we should or should not exclude trips in time.

Why do not people like the Bohemian Rhapsody movie?

Hawking, who died at the age of 76, says, "There is no God, no one leads the universe," he writes in the section "Brief Answers to Big Questions". ". He adds, "For centuries, it has been believed that people with disabilities like me are under the curse that God has commanded them, I prefer to think that everything can be explained in another way, by the laws of nature."

The British scientist was suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, which he suffered throughout his adult life. Hawking died while he was working on his book which, along with his family and colleagues, ended with the help of his personal files.

And although Hawking speaks of his lack of belief about the existence of God, he has always mentioned in life, many of his answers are amazing: "There are forms of intelligence outside our planet, no doubt," he wrote. "We have to think carefully if we respond until we have developed a little more," he wrote.

Hawking also speaks of the possibility of traveling in time: "The possibility of traveling in time can not be eliminated considering what we know and understand now". The scientist also predicted the following: "In the next hundred years we will be able to travel to any part of the solar system." According to Lucy Hawking, her daughter, "my father understood that people wanted to know their answers to these questions". She helped finish the book.

Hawking said the world was on the eve of a "vast transformation change". His daughter added, "He was wondering how not to go in the future blindly, how good is it to inscribe the human race in the use of technology for the benefit of ordinary citizens?"

For his part, the scientist says about the world he leaves behind: "With the Brexit and Trump, new forces on the immigration relationship and the development of education, we are witnessing a worldwide revolt against experts, which includes scientists, "Hawking said. The physicist was actually very critical of the UK's decision to leave the EU and to call Donald Trump "demagogue" in 2016.

Finally, Hawking sends a final message to the reader, to the question: "How to sketch the future?" The scientist wrote: "Do not forget to see the stars and not your feet".
