On Monday, famed physicist Stephen Hawking and Russian tycoon Yuri Milner held a news conference in London to announce their new project: injecting $100 million and a whole lot of brain power into the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life, an endeavor they're calling Breakthrough Listen.
"We believe that life arose spontaneously on Earth," Hawking said at Monday's news conference, "So in an infinite universe, there must be other occurrences of life."
- My main takeaway here is that Hawking thinks the universe is infinite. Interesting.detritus

- A humanlike mind is the only thing we know so we project that onto the creation of the universe when in fact it doesn't make much sense.yuekit
- we function in nature. we have properties of the universe within us. so whats to say the process is any different if we are to be a reflection of the larger.yurimon
