Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy Hawking forayed into writing a science-fiction book series for young kids. This book (George's secret key to the universe) is the first of the series. The plot involves two young children traveling in space involving a mixed bag of adventures. The authors have also incorporated many images from NASA's repository to bring real science into the hands of the young. In this episode, four primary schoolers joined us to share their opinions of the book as well as creative ideas of how they would explore space if they had a chance. If you are looking for a new book to pick up for your 7-11 year old, this might be it. Listen to the full episode to find out more.

Inspire kids to ask the big questions about Earth and the cosmos with this stunningly illustrated version of Professor Stephen Hawking's final message to humankind. We are all time travelers journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit. Scientist and educator Stephen Hawking spent his life trying to unravel the mysteries of the universe. But, he still had many questions—and he wanted every reader, every child, to come together to help answer them: How can we save the planet? How can we learn to be there for one another? Adapted from Professor Hawking's posthumous 2020 Earth Day message, You and the Universe is his first picture book and is a tribute to the littlest citizens of Earth, highlighting the power of coming together and creating a better tomorrow.

This episode features French physicist and science communicator Christophe Galfard. His background is in theoretical physics and Christophe worked with Professor Stephen Hawking as his PhD student at Cambridge University. I worked with Christophe in 2016, where he co-presented Search for a New Earth with Danielle George. He was also the solo presenter of a French-language version of the programme. While working on his PhD with Hawking, Christophe focused on black holes as an area which challenges the theories around the very big and the very small, touching as they do on both gravity and quantum physics. Since finishing his PhD Christophe has been focused on the importance of communicating science to a broader audience. With Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy Hawking, he co-authored a children's book and went on to publish a science fiction trilogy for 9-13 year olds. He has gone on to write books for adults including the international bestseller The Universe in Your Hand and he is a very busy public speaker with various TED talks under his belt aswell as numerous speaking events around the globe. I hugely enjoyed getting to know Christophe on the road while filming, I really enjoyed this opportunity to dig into some of the questions I didn't get to ask when filming together. I learnt a lot about black holes, gravitational theory, quantum physics and the current understanding of our amazing universe. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

  On this episode, Beth and Astrobiologist Dr. David Warmflash discuss his new book, Moon: An Illustrated History; From Ancient Myths to the Colonies of Tomorrow.   Here are some highlights from both the book and the Casual (Space) conversation: This new and different book about the moon includes images on every left side of the page, and illuminating text on every right side!   Moon: An Illustrated History chronologically presents 100 milestones in the Moon’s development and exploration. Starting 4.5 billion years ago when the Moon formed, David walks through hypotheses of the Moon’s formation to sixth-century BCE predictions of solar eclipses, from the twentieth-century Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union to private space companies and possible future lunar colonies.   Did you know there were lunar calendars as well as solar calendars?   David shares how lunar brightness was used to estimate stellar distances; how advancing telescopes in the seventeenth century allowed us to eye the Moon more closely; how author Jules Verne inspired the Father of Astronautics; the originals of the Saturn V Moon Rocket and we bring it all back to the Apollo missions.   The Moon formed billions of years ago, and humans have been enthralled with the Moon throughout history.   The moon has a lot of resources that we can mine- silicon dioxide and we can genetically engineer opportunities to mine for water (ice) for all kinds of things- fuel, oxygen, etc.   Now is the time for the Moon! There’s the 50th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon, so we are all reminiscing.   In his book, David highlights how the moon effected humanity before any technology was applied to the moon.   The Moon meant a lot of different things to many ancient people. We take our best guess when we find ancient structures that help line up the lunar year and solar year. People worshiped the moon as a goddess. Agricultural societies would use a lunar calendar to help successfully plant and harvest during the year.   “Going to the moon will help everyone on Earth. The new mission to go back to the moon is named Artemins (the sister to Apollo).  We can get energy from the moon and make things [on Earth] more sustainable.” Dr. David Warmflash     About David Warmflash:   Dr. David Warmflash is an astrobiologist and prolific science writer.

本期大侠:露西·霍金生于1970年11月2日,她是史蒂芬·霍金的女儿,是一名记者及作家,并为多家英国报刊撰稿,她是2008年科学普及Sapio奖的获得者露西·霍金(Lucy Hawking)不太为中国人所知,公众对她的认知是从“霍金的女儿”这个身份开始的。她是霍金的三个孩子之一,也是唯一的女儿。她是一名记者及科普作家,是2008年科学普及Sapio奖的获得者。6月1日,她完成了在北京某一小学的主题分享后,6月2日下午,在长城会的安排下,她接受了笔记侠柯洲和杨丽的独家专访。这是继2019年1月来中国后,今年第二次来到中国,为孩子们做科学知识的普及和传播。相较于霍金先生陈述的宏大宇宙计划,Lucy与外界的沟通内容显得更为细致温和。如果外星人发来信号,人类要怎么做?霍金的回答为公众所熟知的是“不要回答”。因为他认为外星人是比较危险的,可能他们拥有比我们更高的技术。但露西(Lucy)选择了不一样的回答,她认为外星人可能对于理解我们人类和我们的文明形式有更多的借鉴意义,认为他们的技术可以帮助人类解决一些问题。露西(Lucy)掌握科学思维,更新认知地图。今年已经49岁,她一直在努力推动她父亲生前未完成的事业“突破摄星”,希望帮助父亲完成“星际旅行”的未了愿望。“突破摄星”计划,到底是什么?简单来说,这是一项俄罗斯人投钱、美国太空研究中心提供人力来实施的探索太空的合作计划。“爱因斯坦曾经幻想在宇宙中乘着一道光线飞驰。这个思想实验为他的狭义相对论奠定了基础。一个多世纪后,我们有机会可以实现光速的一小部分:1亿英里/每小时。唯有通过这么快的速度,我们才有希望在人类的时间尺度内到达彼方恒星。”想想就很酷对吧?具体而言,早在2016年,科学家霍金就联合俄罗斯互联网投资大鳄、投资基金 DST Global 创始人尤里·米尔纳(Yuri Milner)启动了 “突破摄星” 计划。同时,出资人也很大方——这项计划涉及的初步投资额高得吓人,1亿美金!而具体实施计划的人力,将由美国太空研究中心提供。公开资料显示,Facebook创始人马克· 扎克伯格,也是该计划的董事会成员之一。这项计划具体要做什么?第一步是研发能达到相对论飞行速度且质量为克级的 “纳米飞行器”——这样的迷你飞行器,在发射后仅仅20年就能到达离我们最近的星系——4.37光年外的半人马座α星。上述投资大鳄米尔纳拿出的1亿美元,都将用于项目前期5年的研发。在这份计划的官方陈述中发现,要做的事情包括——激光列阵、星芯片、光帆、触碰群星......这几个具有未来感的词汇交织在一起,不得不让人想象联翩:上帝是否会重新再掷一次骰子?“‘突破摄星'这个项目是用纳米探测器通过特定装置达到光速20%的速度,是非常、非常具有科技含量的项目,现在仍在筹备过程中。”露西(Lucy)说。造梦者已去,“梦”仍在。除了推动父亲的未竟事业,露西(Lucy)还在以另一种方式,让更多人的想象力自由遨游于星际间。用故事,让儿童在未来世界里噼里啪啦地穿梭在露西(Lucy)接受笔记侠的采访中,“我父亲”是最被频繁提及的词汇。史蒂芬•霍金的一生做了很多很酷的事情,他也非常希望人类能够做太空旅行,向宇宙外穿行,看看周围星系上是否有生命迹象。史蒂芬•霍金毕生都在研究黑洞,并对此非常着迷,他曾经推测,黑洞有可能是去到另外一个宇宙的入口。如果掉进黑洞,可能会被黑洞的引力撕成碎片。所以,人是不可能穿越黑洞的,但如果能够发明一个可以穿越黑洞的物体的话,有可能会去到另外一个宇宙,这是一个令人激动的想法。黑洞并不是黑的,也不是一成不变的,相反,黑洞一直处于动的状态。霍金发现黑洞是会蒸发的,不断地辐射,所以,随着时间的推移会越来越小。可能几十亿年以后,黑洞最终会爆炸。作为科学家霍金的女儿,露西·霍金的个体画像也和科学紧紧结合在一起。儿童小说作家、科学教育者,是Lucy的两个职业标签。她从牛津大学法语、俄语专业毕业后,选择了以语言和文字为载体向科学世界游弋。经过一段记者生涯后,她转身成为一名童书作家。她与英国航天局合作的《太空日记》(Principia Space Diary)通过童趣视角向英国小学生讲述了宇航员蒂姆·皮克(Tim Peake)与国际空间站的日夜。与其父亲合著的《乔治的宇宙》系列,更是被翻译成38种语言,在43个国家发行。无数充满童真的孩子们,读着乔治的冒险故事,在未来世界里噼里啪啦地穿梭。而《乔治的宇宙》系列的灵感就是源于黑洞,她说,有一天,一个男孩找到我爸爸说,“史蒂芬·霍金,如果我掉进黑洞里会发生什么?我还会回来吗?”我爸爸回答说,“你会变成意大利面,变成一条一条的,引力非常大,会把你撕扯开。”“我掉进黑洞会发生什么?还会再回来吗?”这是一个非常好的故事。所以,《乔治的宇宙》系列创造了一个男孩叫乔治,他找到一个方法去到宇宙,然后去看黑洞,透过这个故事可以“向一个8岁孩子解释清楚黑洞”。“写故事是为了讲述清楚世间万物为何如此存在。”露西(Lucy)说。带有科学元素的文学创作可能为现实问题提供解决方案。露西(Lucy)是一位好奇心超越年龄的女士,她说,未来很多事情都有可能发生,前提是你要想象。为什么科学要从娃娃抓起?现代科学的历史开始于18世纪,起源于古希腊、中国以及一些非常古老的文明,但东西方对于科学的态度有一定的差异,相较于东方,西方的科学要更加自由,更有创造力、更有想法。科学能够为我们提供一个理解这个世界的方式,科学是基于证据的学科,它能够让我们更加接近于真理。很重要的一点是,我们要知道我们是谁,从哪里来,为什么存在。如果不知道的话,我们很容易受到一些假新闻或者迷信、宗教的影响和干扰。“我是为孩子工作的,我想让科学对他们而言是通俗易懂的。”露西·霍金说。我会为这些小学生们写很多故事,也会跟一些科学家们一起工作,让他们的科学成果变成一些故事,进而打开孩子们进入科学的大门。实际上,科学与生活密不可分,孩子们从小就可以通过观察及实验去了解身边的世界,而不是贸然相信一些假新闻或其他的一些流言蜚语,从小培养一个批判性思维。掌握一些基本的科学知识非常重要,研究科学也是非常有意义的一件事。在如今的时代,科学和技术也已成为国民经济的一大衡量指标,科学与技术、创新已经变得越来越重要,是驱动国民经济增长非常重要的因素。史蒂芬•霍金也希望每一个孩子都能够参与科学教育这一领域,挖掘孩子们的潜能,也希望能从这些孩子们中找到下一个爱因斯坦。本期编辑:杨丽 审稿及主播:晴天点击关注和订阅,实时接收最新干货。获取更多商业知识,可关注公众号【笔记侠】。

本期大侠:露西·霍金生于1970年11月2日,她是史蒂芬·霍金的女儿,是一名记者及作家,并为多家英国报刊撰稿,她是2008年科学普及Sapio奖的获得者露西·霍金(Lucy Hawking)不太为中国人所知,公众对她的认知是从“霍金的女儿”这个身份开始的。她是霍金的三个孩子之一,也是唯一的女儿。她是一名记者及科普作家,是2008年科学普及Sapio奖的获得者。6月1日,她完成了在北京某一小学的主题分享后,6月2日下午,在长城会的安排下,她接受了笔记侠柯洲和杨丽的独家专访。这是继2019年1月来中国后,今年第二次来到中国,为孩子们做科学知识的普及和传播。相较于霍金先生陈述的宏大宇宙计划,Lucy与外界的沟通内容显得更为细致温和。如果外星人发来信号,人类要怎么做?霍金的回答为公众所熟知的是“不要回答”。因为他认为外星人是比较危险的,可能他们拥有比我们更高的技术。但露西(Lucy)选择了不一样的回答,她认为外星人可能对于理解我们人类和我们的文明形式有更多的借鉴意义,认为他们的技术可以帮助人类解决一些问题。露西(Lucy)掌握科学思维,更新认知地图。今年已经49岁,她一直在努力推动她父亲生前未完成的事业“突破摄星”,希望帮助父亲完成“星际旅行”的未了愿望。“突破摄星”计划,到底是什么?简单来说,这是一项俄罗斯人投钱、美国太空研究中心提供人力来实施的探索太空的合作计划。“爱因斯坦曾经幻想在宇宙中乘着一道光线飞驰。这个思想实验为他的狭义相对论奠定了基础。一个多世纪后,我们有机会可以实现光速的一小部分:1亿英里/每小时。唯有通过这么快的速度,我们才有希望在人类的时间尺度内到达彼方恒星。”想想就很酷对吧?具体而言,早在2016年,科学家霍金就联合俄罗斯互联网投资大鳄、投资基金 DST Global 创始人尤里·米尔纳(Yuri Milner)启动了 “突破摄星” 计划。同时,出资人也很大方——这项计划涉及的初步投资额高得吓人,1亿美金!而具体实施计划的人力,将由美国太空研究中心提供。公开资料显示,Facebook创始人马克· 扎克伯格,也是该计划的董事会成员之一。这项计划具体要做什么?第一步是研发能达到相对论飞行速度且质量为克级的 “纳米飞行器”——这样的迷你飞行器,在发射后仅仅20年就能到达离我们最近的星系——4.37光年外的半人马座α星。上述投资大鳄米尔纳拿出的1亿美元,都将用于项目前期5年的研发。在这份计划的官方陈述中发现,要做的事情包括——激光列阵、星芯片、光帆、触碰群星......这几个具有未来感的词汇交织在一起,不得不让人想象联翩:上帝是否会重新再掷一次骰子?“‘突破摄星'这个项目是用纳米探测器通过特定装置达到光速20%的速度,是非常、非常具有科技含量的项目,现在仍在筹备过程中。”露西(Lucy)说。造梦者已去,“梦”仍在。除了推动父亲的未竟事业,露西(Lucy)还在以另一种方式,让更多人的想象力自由遨游于星际间。用故事,让儿童在未来世界里噼里啪啦地穿梭在露西(Lucy)接受笔记侠的采访中,“我父亲”是最被频繁提及的词汇。史蒂芬•霍金的一生做了很多很酷的事情,他也非常希望人类能够做太空旅行,向宇宙外穿行,看看周围星系上是否有生命迹象。史蒂芬•霍金毕生都在研究黑洞,并对此非常着迷,他曾经推测,黑洞有可能是去到另外一个宇宙的入口。如果掉进黑洞,可能会被黑洞的引力撕成碎片。所以,人是不可能穿越黑洞的,但如果能够发明一个可以穿越黑洞的物体的话,有可能会去到另外一个宇宙,这是一个令人激动的想法。黑洞并不是黑的,也不是一成不变的,相反,黑洞一直处于动的状态。霍金发现黑洞是会蒸发的,不断地辐射,所以,随着时间的推移会越来越小。可能几十亿年以后,黑洞最终会爆炸。作为科学家霍金的女儿,露西·霍金的个体画像也和科学紧紧结合在一起。儿童小说作家、科学教育者,是Lucy的两个职业标签。她从牛津大学法语、俄语专业毕业后,选择了以语言和文字为载体向科学世界游弋。经过一段记者生涯后,她转身成为一名童书作家。她与英国航天局合作的《太空日记》(Principia Space Diary)通过童趣视角向英国小学生讲述了宇航员蒂姆·皮克(Tim Peake)与国际空间站的日夜。与其父亲合著的《乔治的宇宙》系列,更是被翻译成38种语言,在43个国家发行。无数充满童真的孩子们,读着乔治的冒险故事,在未来世界里噼里啪啦地穿梭。而《乔治的宇宙》系列的灵感就是源于黑洞,她说,有一天,一个男孩找到我爸爸说,“史蒂芬·霍金,如果我掉进黑洞里会发生什么?我还会回来吗?”我爸爸回答说,“你会变成意大利面,变成一条一条的,引力非常大,会把你撕扯开。”“我掉进黑洞会发生什么?还会再回来吗?”这是一个非常好的故事。所以,《乔治的宇宙》系列创造了一个男孩叫乔治,他找到一个方法去到宇宙,然后去看黑洞,透过这个故事可以“向一个8岁孩子解释清楚黑洞”。“写故事是为了讲述清楚世间万物为何如此存在。”露西(Lucy)说。带有科学元素的文学创作可能为现实问题提供解决方案。露西(Lucy)是一位好奇心超越年龄的女士,她说,未来很多事情都有可能发生,前提是你要想象。为什么科学要从娃娃抓起?现代科学的历史开始于18世纪,起源于古希腊、中国以及一些非常古老的文明,但东西方对于科学的态度有一定的差异,相较于东方,西方的科学要更加自由,更有创造力、更有想法。科学能够为我们提供一个理解这个世界的方式,科学是基于证据的学科,它能够让我们更加接近于真理。很重要的一点是,我们要知道我们是谁,从哪里来,为什么存在。如果不知道的话,我们很容易受到一些假新闻或者迷信、宗教的影响和干扰。“我是为孩子工作的,我想让科学对他们而言是通俗易懂的。”露西·霍金说。我会为这些小学生们写很多故事,也会跟一些科学家们一起工作,让他们的科学成果变成一些故事,进而打开孩子们进入科学的大门。实际上,科学与生活密不可分,孩子们从小就可以通过观察及实验去了解身边的世界,而不是贸然相信一些假新闻或其他的一些流言蜚语,从小培养一个批判性思维。掌握一些基本的科学知识非常重要,研究科学也是非常有意义的一件事。在如今的时代,科学和技术也已成为国民经济的一大衡量指标,科学与技术、创新已经变得越来越重要,是驱动国民经济增长非常重要的因素。史蒂芬•霍金也希望每一个孩子都能够参与科学教育这一领域,挖掘孩子们的潜能,也希望能从这些孩子们中找到下一个爱因斯坦。本期编辑:杨丽 审稿及主播:晴天点击关注和订阅,实时接收最新干货。获取更多商业知识,可关注公众号【笔记侠】。

Filha de Stephen Hawking lamenta que o pai não tenha sabido que as suas cinzas seriam depositadas junto ao túmulo de Isaac Newton e Charles Darwin. “Ele teria chorado e sorrido, ao mesmo tempo”. Lucy Hawking recorda o otimismo, a humildade e também a solidão do pai nos últimos anos de vida. "Todos achavam que lhe deviam dizer algo brilhante", lamenta.

Lucy Hawking and renowned physicist Paul Davies discuss the life and ideas of one of the world’s greatest minds: Stephen Hawking, who joins us live from Cambridge via the latest technology, in his first ever Australian talk. There are few scientists that can be said to have touched the public imagination. Physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking is one such scientist. Professor Hawking will be appearing via the very latest in streaming technology while his daughter, journalist and author Lucy, will be on the Opera House stage with renowned physicist and writer Paul Davies, providing an intimate view into the life of a great man and that of his extraordinary family. Confined to a wheelchair since his twenties, Hawking has never let his physical restrictions limit his imagination or intellect. As a physicist, he has deepened our knowledge of black holes, general relativity and the Big Bang. As author of the international best-seller A Brief History of Time he has introduced millions of non-scientists to some of the most mind-twisting concepts in modern physics. He’s a star of the small screen thanks to several documentary series (most recently Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking), with appearances on Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Simpsons, and The Big Bang Theory. And in film, his incredible life was celebrated in The Theory of Everything. Actor Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal of him was awarded with both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Actor. This is a unique opportunity to discover his true story, in his own words.
