Dreams of interstellar civilization and Stephen Hawking's best books:

One of the most popular people in the world passed away on March 14, 2018. Stephen Hawking, who has been called the most talented scientist since Einstein. But on the one hand, he may have surpassed Einstein, on the other hand, because of his immense popularity with the common people. Einstein was not popular, but he was not. However, his popularity increased after his death. From there, Stephen Hawking is a very lucky man. And that lucky man has given mankind a wonderful path to the future.

Not long ago, but recently, this famous physicist repeatedly warned mankind: “Man is the greatest threat to mankind. The misuse of human technological knowledge is bringing danger to human beings. Mankind's problems, such as global warming, on the one hand, nuclear war on the other, and man-made problems such as artificial viruses, are at great risk today. The world is gradually losing livability. However, the catastrophe may take a thousand or ten thousand years to come down. In the meantime, humans will have to scatter in other constellations in space so that the human race is not wiped out. "

Professor Hawking, who had been suffering from a complex motor neuron disease for many years, could not speak normally as almost his whole body became numb. He communicated with a specially made computer keyboard with a subtle sensor attached to his chin. The famous scientist thought that it would take at least a few hundred years for man to build a self-sufficient habitat in space. So, until then, people have to be careful. Future generations of researchers will, therefore, have to be much more careful in advancing science and technology.

Under Hawking's supervision, a project was launched to determine whether there were intelligent creatures outside the Earth. The name of the project is 'Break Through Listening'. He thought ‘such creations’ or ‘aliens’ could destroy humanity. Since 2010, the world-renowned physicist has been publicly voicing his fears, "that a pioneering alien civilization could overthrow the advance of mankind. The way humans can destroy an ant colony. Human civilization has a very bad history. People in the world have treated those who were lagging behind in technology more destructively and inhumanely. So why should aliens be different from mankind? ” That's why Hawking, despite his fears, was curious about whether life existed anywhere else in the universe other than the Earth. According to the organizers of the Breakthrough Listening project, this is the biggest initiative ever to find life in the universe. Hawking was involved in the project because he believed ‘Breakthrough’ was a very important step. Because now is the time to know whether the animal world exists anywhere in the universe. At a media event hosted by the project in July 2015, Hawking expressed his feelings: "Since we are alive, we have intelligence, we have a right to know if there is life anywhere in the universe."

Hawking said, “We don’t realize aliens, but we do realize humans. If you look at history, you will see that human relationships with less intelligent beings than humans were conflicting. There was a clash of backward civilization with advancing civilization. Maybe the civilization of the aliens is billions of years ahead of us. Then they will be very strong and they may not think we are more valuable than tiny bacteria. ”

Stephen Hawking drew the attention of the general public, including scientists, through his research on time and space. After the tremendous success of this study, he became involved in multiple studies, including Breakthrough Listening, to take it to the ultimate level of progress. He has tried to put his every research into the future of the world. Since he was aware of his death, he carefully crafted every research into print. As a result, the world found not only a scientist but also a writer of clear thinking.

Physicist Stephen Hawking has written numerous popular works for people of both general and scientific classes in his working life. It contains published books, research papers, lecture notes as well as many unpublished works.

According to his personal website, there is a list of 15 such popular and discussed books, in which he was the only co-author. A brief description of those books was given to the readers.

The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time is Hawking's first book. It was published in 1973 by Cambridge University Press. His co-author here was George Ellis. The book is not for the general public-it is a textbook on physics. The book uses Albert Einstein's relative formula to explain how massive stars or black holes become black holes and how time and space are infinite.

Hawking's book, A Brief History of Time, was published by Bantam Press in 1988. The book skyrocketed soon after its publication. Through this, people who do not know science also get an idea about the basic theory of space. Hawking describes the origin of the earth in very simple language and how it can be destroyed. One by one, the book explores the forces of gravity, the black hole, the Big Bang, the nature of time, and the search for a fully integrated theory.

The book "Black Holes and Baby Universes" was published by Bantam Press in 1993, compiling several articles by Stephen Hawking. Here, scientific information such as the arrangement of the black hole has found a place and also some of his personal events such as the lived experience of growing up with the neurodegenerative disorder.

The book "The Universe in a Nutshell" was published in 2001 from the same publication. The book is based on cutting-edge research on theoretical physics. Here he gives ideas on supergravity, supersymmetry, quantum theory, m-theory, and even for people who are not experts in this. He also points out to readers how much progress has been made since "A Brief History of Time."

In "On the Shoulders of Giants" (Running Press Adult, 2002), Hawking describes the actions of Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. Here he focuses on seven classic papers in physics and astronomy. Hawking also includes biographies of the top four scientists, including himself, in the book.

In 2011, Hawking published another similar book, The Dreams That Stuff Is Made Of. In the book, he discusses some of the most amazing papers in quantum physics.

In 2005, Hawking, along with Leonard Mlodinow, published the second edition of A Brief History of Time. The progress that has been made in space research over the next 17 years since the first edition in 1988 is included.

The book "God Created the Integers" (Running Press Adult, 2005) gives a brief history of 2500 years of mathematics, biographies of important mathematicians, and their work.

"George's Secret Key to the Universe" and sequels (2007 - 2016) is a series about children. Hawking and his daughters Lucy and Christoph Galford are the authors. Here, middle school students, George and Annie travel to space together. On that journey, they could learn about cosmology, planets, and even black holes. The books within the series are: "George's Cosmic Game," "George and therefore the explosion," "George and therefore the Unbreakable Code," and "George and therefore the long time ."

Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow's book "The Grand Design" was published in 2010. Here is a vivid explanation of the origin and real nature of the universe. The book discusses the possibility of the existence of many worlds or separate worlds. The idea is that there could be events like the creation of the earth. Here's a look at how M-Theory can give a single explanation for how the universe works.

In his book "My Brief History" (Bantam Press, 2013), Hawking writes about his autobiography and intellectual development. He also discusses how he wrote "A Brief History of Time" and how he achieved intellectual success after his diagnosis.

Black Holes

"Black Holes: The Reith Lectures" (2016) is a compilation of Stephen Hawking's speeches on the BBC. Here he answers many questions about the scientific history of black holes. He argues that if we can only learn about the scientific history of black holes and how they challenge conventional notions of time and space, then we can unravel the mysteries of the universe.

Stephen Hawking, throughout his entire life, research work and writing, has told the people of the world about a dream, the dream of interstellar civilization. We may not be fully prepared for this yet.

Currently, our only habitat is affected by global warming. For which we humans are largely responsible. We have not yet agreed on a solution to this problem. Then will people stop? There are still many people like Stephen Hawking who dream of interstellar civilization. Will this dream ever see the face of reality, as the dream of conquering the ocean and space? Will we survive until then? Maybe if we humans plan to survive together without planning to destroy each other.
