The QUESTION - " In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?"

WHO ASKED THIS QUESTIONS ? - Professor Stephen Hawking

The 'ANSWERS' - Scroll down to end of page if you want it NOW hehehehe

Frame of Mind.

Someone once said " A picture says a thousand words" - Singlish : You see, you say
I say " A good question raised a million or more possibilities." -Singlish : You ask = more talk

Prof Hawking's answer to his own question : I DON'T KNOW.

Hmmmm .... interesting reply from a very brilliant man. This raises more questions for me ...
Is Prof Hawking searching for the BEST answer or answers? or Is he getting the world to pay attention to it and come up with multiple alternatives? What do you think?

Have you ever thought that :

1. If teachers could ask good questions, students would be motivated to search for possible solutions?
2. If parents could ask good questions, children would have develop an appetite for learning?
3. If governments could ask good questions, citizens can be compelled to find alternatives?

Having a question is like tossing a pebble into a pond ... a rippling effect takes place. Each concentric circle that is caused by the impact of the pebble (question) can continue to expand broader and broader. Some questions requires ever evolving answers and possibly a stock check of availability or no availability of resources.

I suppose it boils down to : Capacity, Choice & Mindfulness of self and others. Then again ... there could be others ...
