Stephen Hawking often stunned the world with his fearless views on life, death, and the universe. Diagnosed with motor neuron disease at 21, he went on to redefine science while living fully until his passing in 2018.
The legendary physicist believed in reason, not faith. “There is no God. No one directs the universe,” he wrote in his final book. He explained, “The brain is like a computer. When it stops working, there is no afterlife.” For him, death was nothing to fear, only a natural end.
Hawking also warned of dangers facing humanity. He feared nuclear war, climate change, and especially artificial intelligence. In 2014, he predicted, “Humans… couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.” He later added, “AI may replace humans altogether.” His warnings continue to echo today.
Despite his brilliance, Hawking kept his message simple: science explains existence, not divine design. His legacy is a call to face truth, embrace discovery, and protect our fragile future. Do you agree with his fearless outlook on life and death?
