“There is no God. No one directs the universe”: Stephen Hawking
There is no God. No one directs the universe,” says celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking in his final book “Brief Answers to the Big Questions.” His book also covers important existential questions such as the creation of the universe, alien intelligence, space colonization, and artificial intelligence.
He was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) at the age of 20, and was given two years to live. Though he was the longest living MND survivor, he died in March, at the age of 76. In the film “The Theory of Everything” his battle with the disease has been featured for which actor Eddie Redmayne, who played Hawking, received 2015’s Best Actor Oscar.
Hawking is also much renowned for his work in cosmology and theoretical physics, notably for Hawking radiation and his work on black holes, was the director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
In his book, he wrote, “For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse that was inflicted by God. Well, I suppose it’s possible that I’ve upset someone up there, but I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature,” he wrote in the chapter titled “Is There a God?”
Google has shared an animated video Doodle in order to celebrate Hawking’s 80th birthday. The video in the first-person narrative of Stephen Hawkins takes us through his life journey using a computer-generated voice. The video explains his contribution to the world and science along with his deteriorating health conditions.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
