party calling for more regulation of these social media companies that's one reason or reason arguably that they tried to take action in this misguided series a bad thing in censorships they're trying to say we can self censor and self regulate but i think if anything they're proving the point they can't be trusted it's quite quite arbitrary. so we'll see what what happens i don't believe there will be a push towards more direct state censorship i believe though that the mainstream the democratic party is very happy to have their pals in silicon valley continue to to limit speech and i think the most shocking thing was the banning and freezing of the new york post twitter account when it reported accurately in many ways the by the 100 biden leak. this worries me the new york post i'm from new york i have been here it's a right wing venue has been attacking jakob and myself whatever for
11:31 pm
a very long time but. there are journalists there are people producing things for public consumption i'm more than willing to have the battle of ideas for the new york post we don't need telecom value on our side to regulate that. because a guy thank you and that's it for the show will be back on monday when we go to gaza until then keep in touch while you try to facebook's on time instagram until. the site.
11:32 pm
really i. am. pleased to. on larry king now he's one of the most brilliant minds in the universe my exclusive
11:33 pm
conversation with stephen hawking the universe and all the laws of nature exist are they necessary in one sense or because sucker last we will be here to ask a question but it's there at the person you've been warning people about the dangers of artificial intelligence and i don't think that sense it's an artificial intelligence will necessarily. one species reached a critical stage of being able to evolve themselves cannot predict what are their goals will be the same mass hours plus as joe physicist dr gary gives way we're always nice to use because we cannot reach on using human nature. when you can't touch something when you can get close then you somehow you lose your interest and that never happens it starts and that at the end of it would be think that it's probably the most mysterious being seen in a in nature it's all next on larry king now.
11:34 pm
welcome to this very special edition of larry king now my guests in a nice little introduction the world's most famous scientist an intellectual a man of incomparable genius stephen hawking stephen is director of research at the department of applied mathematics said theoretical physics and founder of the center for theoretical cosmology at the university of cambridge he joins us today from the star most festival in the canary islands i last spoke to stephen in 2010 and it's a pleasure to have the opportunity to pick his miraculous brain again stephen when we. 6 years ago you said that mankind was in danger of destroying ourselves by our
11:35 pm
grievance stupidity have things gotten better or worse since them we certainly have not become less greedy or less stupid 6 years ago i was warning about pollution and overcrowding they have gotten worse since then the population has grown by a half 1000000 since our last meeting with no end in sight at this rate it will be $11000000000.00 by 2100 air pollution has increased over the past 5 years more than 80 percent of inhabitants of urban areas are exposed to unsafe level some very pollution stephen what is the biggest problem facing humanity today lead increase in air pollution and the emission of increasing levels of carbon dioxide will we be truly to invite dangerous levels some global warming you've been
11:36 pm
warning people about the dangers of artificial intelligence how seriously are governments taking this warning governments seem to be engaged in an ai arms race designing planes and weapons with intelligent technologies the funding for projects directly beneficial to the human race such as improved medical screening seems a somewhat lower priority what do you make of regulars' wells there is on singularity do you think we'll see a man and machine become one. i think that you are both too simplistic and too optimistic exponential growth will not continue to accelerate something we don't predict will interrupt it as has happened with similar forecasts in the past and i don't think advances in artificial intelligence will necessarily
11:37 pm
be benign once machines reach a critical stage of being able to evolve themselves we cannot predict what her very goals will be the same as ours will artificial intelligence ever render humans a society as we know it obsolete artificial intelligence has the potential to evolve faster than the human race beneficially i could co-exist with humans and not meant our capabilities but a rogue ai could be difficult to stop we need to ensure that ai is designed ethically with safeguards in place steven how will it change us i believe beneficial artificial intelligence will permeate throughout every aspect of our society imagine how would your response able to quickly assess scientists' ideas catch cancer earlier and predict the stock markets ai will impact our
11:38 pm
economies our decision making another lives what what still missed the buys you about the universe. why do the universe and all of the laws of nature exist are they necessary in one sense they are because otherwise we wouldn't be here to ask the question but is there a deeper reason and then the very changed over the years and if so which ones. 40 years ago i wrote a paper claiming that information about what fell into a black hole was lost forever the paper aroused controversy which has continued until the press and the consensus was that information about what fell in should be returned in the holic radiation given off by an up black hole but no one could suggest a mechanism however to colleagues and i discovered that information it sent coded
11:39 pm
on the horizon and will be returned what scientific discoveries surprised even you over the years the most surprising was the discovery and $998.00 that the rate of expansion of the universe is meeting up rather than slowing down as had been expected this is a setup me dark energy but this is just a name given to something we don't understand and particularly we don't understand why it isn't very exactly 0 or very large or whether it is constant as the universe expands you are in the canary islands for the star most of it would celebrate science is drawn in the art and music in this year the festival is dedicated to you how do you feel about that i feel honored at this year star must festival has been dedicated to me it is
11:40 pm
a unique science and arts festival open to the public that brings to get her acclaimed scientists astronauts cosmonauts and musicians and artists from around the world i have invited many of my friends and colleagues to start to share in this celebration with me stephen who attends the festival and what do you discuss. the festival is such and it the public will come to listen to the latest scientific thinking from eminent scientists and nobel laureates personal accounts given by astronauts and cosmonauts recounting their adventure since space and 2 and so i musicians and artists exploring a space theme you have defied so many odds to reach your age no one has lived as long as you are they all as do you think about how and why that you're still here it's my commitment to science at has kept me calling there are questions i want to
11:41 pm
answer 6 years ago you told me the only thing you don't fully understand is women have you learned any more since we talked. i have learned a lot about women since then now it's my turn to ask a personal question you have been married 8 times to 7 different women it's at the triumph of hope over experience you make a good point steve in. the big dance series yes there was also eternal hope and this reason marriage has lasted 19 years it's always a pleasure to be with you and interview you and i thank you for joining me thanks to my guest stephen hawking daisy up next we're joined by as still businesses and the founding director of the strong was festival. did gary is really stay right with us.
11:42 pm
max geysers financial survival guide. housing bob hall. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's concert for. the war we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on often scary dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. joining us now he's got to get israeli he is the founding director of the psalmist festival is an astrophysicist at the institute of astrophysics of the canary
11:43 pm
islands dr tell me about stalin was and how this all came about started as a. communication festival which has. edition rules back in 2011 is dedicated to 50 years in your city or. yuri gagarin's flight and. it was quite an ambitious of it because we had neil armstrong bustle genes so the 1st generation of apollo astronauts joined while x a leona of and it was like making history we do all of these guys together and here in 10 a reef and there are i never thought that we could repeat the festival of the tree years we are going to make the 2nd festival and then in a specially having steven as a keynote speaker at the 2nd festival there was something that we could never dream about at this point we are asking stephen if he will be interested in joining the
11:44 pm
board of starting this. advisory board and part b. he logged a full month of the festival the way that we communicate science through music and art and so on so stephen was happy to join the festival and about 2 years ago when we finished the festival on i ask stephen what he thinks about star miss and he was very positive their loss they actually sent it he was saying that i'll be happy to come back to starve us if he invites me and that's the thought i said was that of course no i'm not only going to invite you are going to pay you a tribute so that's exactly what we are doing now pain gets you to stephen hawking and this year you have guests like my friend neil de grasse tyson the wonderful composer hans zimmer brian may in the rubber band queen very impressive list why does art and science communities do they have a natural affinity i always though that science inspire arts and arts inspired by
11:45 pm
science. it's my generation the generation grew up in the musical seventies we've been inspired by bands like being floated and electronic buzy and they did that there was a kind of. relation between these type of music and science and especially space science astronomy sort of the pull era and even singers like david bowie david quite inspired by. boy this and a later i realized that these musicians themselves they were inspired by science by strong to me so there was this is this interesting breach between music and astronomy space space. so. then the
11:46 pm
idea was just to bring this to communities together and let them together inspire young scientists or young new generation because the message is much much more powerful when you get musicians artists and scientists astronauts together you really create a different atmosphere is so unique they so you will never see the senate what else and and of course larry it's really difficult to build a festival like that specially science for you specially in spain when we don't really have much support from private companies and basically no one is interested in supporting the science 1st there are so we can lead to some public support but the message is so powerful is so incredible debt we can reach. people like neil de grasse and brian may and they are so happy to join us and hans zimmer to this you're going toward the stephen hawking metals for science communication give
11:47 pm
me a little group behind the middle we arranged a lecture on earth in london in the science museum and stephen was invited to leave on a slick chip. before his lecture knowing that alexy is a very good painter he's an artist his drawings are very famous so i asked alex and i said they think is a good idea if you can make a portrait of stephen hawking. and he said yeah i think i can do that so we went for lunch with stephen and aleksey and malone of his sitting next to stephen and 2 hours later he went back to a hotel and next day he came back we mazing pulled straight off stephen they're the ideal for maid of k.s. so we thought ok the best way to go to 2 to paying tribute to both her legs and stephen is to create
11:48 pm
a middle sized communication meadow we actually use quite unique and it should be a made though which is said not for scientists of not only for scientists but those so for those. reporters and film directors and musicians those who promote science who create. arts and unique or films. and popular all the science we we would they are doing so hans zimmer is a classical example he smith seek this so inspiring in films like inception and interstellar well said you were given 3 years obviously he has a l.s.e. savage's was such a long time is it didn't go to work with him what's it like to work with him. yeah it's not very easy communicating with steven of course it takes time for him
11:49 pm
to to write sentences it may take 15 minutes 20 minutes or even more but the time that he takes. the time to do you are waiting to hear from steven that he will answer you is exactly the time that a kid makes you thinking about stephen too so it's quite interesting so every time that the woman has to answer my question we do 10 minutes or 15 minutes i think about him so that makes this very unique very interesting relationship between between a person who is communicating with steve and stephen hawking aids it's really unique it's so different here you never experience you never feel this were communicating we did we daughters so that happens only when you communicate receive it and then you realize that. steven is actually the strongest person on the planet so when our mask or do you think about when our or our i always say he's probably
11:50 pm
the strongest person on this planet what separates an astrophysicist from us is. so physics is said basically physics office space celestial bodies stars and galaxies and so on but. it's a combination of class metaphysics nuclear physics and everything so i would say. space is a kind of for a laboratory where you have all different states of matter from from super desk matter to super vacuum so basically i wouldn't say the difference between physics and astrophysics today it's actually the same more or less the same thing in the form of ice for a wave vice president of united states you were humphrey told me what he asked once why we don't wonder more about this. as we do about the sky. which is bigger that. i guess the sky to use because we cannot reach the skies so we can reach the stars
11:51 pm
so it is in human nature when you can touch something when you can get close then you somehow you lose your interest and that never happens with stars and it never happens between of us so this everything is so distant and it's so we see it and so we were we we we think and i think it's normal that we think that there's probably the most mysterious things in nature stars planets galaxies and also because somehow we realize that it's probably something that we can never understand and we can never reach stars and what of galaxies and that makes it even more mysterious more interesting why the good area islands why is that an important location as a research clear sky. and no pollution no light pollution. i would say not even dust pollution very rare sometimes from africa coming dust but
11:52 pm
usually to eat. an extremely clear sky makes one of the best places for astronomy in the world get with chile and hawaii. june 30th as durai day is an aversion to the largest asteroid impact on earth how much do we know about asteroids and are they a danger they are certainly. very dangerous because we probably know less than one percent of dangerous asteroids that can heat heat be it to dick to at detecting get through eet ees a it is not an easy task because you need infrared telescopes unique cameras and especially small baddies that are faith hard to detect before they actually gate very close to the year and some of them before the heat is that the one that happens in russia 2 years ago and today gerri's is very high is very very high so. i think. we need more research and more.
11:53 pm
probably more more funding and more awareness about asteroids because the danger is there when you studies things like black holes or planets or massive stars what started back down the average citizen of the earth where. we'll learn physics so all of the universe will learn and laws that govern the nature basic physics and we also learn about our own evolution because the evolution of for it and as this one of the billions of planets that popular that exists in our galaxy so basically starting to stormy we studied in nature. and i would never separate. say biology or chemistry or other branches of science for astronomy why the importance because they are i think everything is is important in science you can
11:54 pm
never put 2nd. second the. branches of science that are secondary or primary to everything is important in a couple weeks i think we're going to land on we're going jupiter we're going to jupiter juno you know nasa mission is going to land and enjoy for the symbolic what what is the importance of jupiter i think jupiter is most important planet in any solar system 1st because of the evolution of jupiter was directly influencing the formation of the earth and all small planets sell air you can perfectly say that there would have been no life on earth if there was no jupiter in the solar system . not only because it was protecting us from asteroids and many many many pacts but also because the evolution of the orbit of the and and
11:55 pm
even maybe the formation of life and everything is related to the presence of jupiter we know that you peter has influenced the formation of asteroid zone between mars and jupiter and so obviously. from the point of view of formation of solar system thinks would have been completely different there would have been no there would have been no way to put it even in a solar system the is it the public still has great interest in the certainly there's been less in the astronaut and strongly magian of the moon and everything is hard to get the public get involved in this i think it's getting harder and harder to get public involved in these and they're one of the reasons because we are really oversaturated point formation it's because of internet and everything media is so much information is a flux of information is ever increasing dead. it's really difficult to draw
11:56 pm
a taste young generation of kids into 2 to sayas precisely for this reason this so much to doing internet it's not like back to 70 means seventy's old even eighty's where it is simply we've seen a mile films and music you could you could you could do the job but now they see that it's it's really fighting for good receiving dictation from the from young generation especially with sports and films and hollywood it's really difficult to compete with that it's impossible in recent years that getting there is more of a push to get more women involved in science are we getting more women in the field i think we are getting more women in the field i see from the number of ph d. students in mines to toot and in general in astronomy i think they're together very large number of muster students and ph d. in astronomy is probably even more than 50 percent of. ph d.'s going into astronomy
11:57 pm
all women nowadays. certainly yes it's good to hear doctors willy i thank you so much you and dr haunting as contributed so much to the knowledge of the world around us and above us thank you very much dr gary israel early as stephen hawking can find out more about strong us w w w dot strongest dot com. it's always you can find me on twitter at kings things i'll see you next time.
11:58 pm
konami phone line smoke fight will make an important moment in the moment one of them from appointments to november done a lot of photos of stuff to get a. lot of was all but i just i think that i think. she was you make. more of the industry in. general but from the sun on my book you go google british course that's enough of them stuff. i mean you got .
11:59 pm
to take. some rumors as soon as you. search eastern ukraine christmas you may. remember the just can stuff it up with it because you feel that oh. i'm talking is a very international community. meaning you strain the truck with only. you just a few things to keep it as this study says you believe. there's a push from the world to use the newkirk of brazil so their nuclear cooperation is i'm told to go is everything produced polluted with the form. t.j.
12:00 am
with any of the. 5 i have i would have acted all day but i decided not to take his place. with my get can tell you that. sunday 24th of january a mass of it 19 vaccination campaign is kicked off in russia increasing number of other countries also open for the country specifically jobs announced said the film director gave us his take on the russian banks and. i'm very happy to be. exposed to the possibility of good. russian vaccine because it's made as i was told by some of the i mean syrian gotos is one of those that used to deceive the same style and the same roots. in countries that up for the pfizer job to supply
