we lost stephen hawking a month or so ago. the great physicist. there he is.had this theory about the big bang theory. apparently we've now seen his last thesis. it kind of upends what we thought he knew. he said there can only be universes that have the same laws of physics as our own. diane, you might ask, what does that mean? >> that's exactly what i might ask. >> that means our own universe is typical. so observations we make our viewpoint will be meaningful in development of our ideas of how other universes are emerged. >> ok. >> yeah. that's a -- >> i got it. you got it? i got it. >> basically stephen hawking went out dropping the mic. >> here's new stuff to think about, everything else is a lie. go. on to a new study pertaining to native settlers. original native americans consisted of just 250 people. >> 250 people. >> before they started moving around everywhere. the new study analyzes dna from regions along the path of migration. they looked at samples from china, siberian groups, native american groups, looking back 15,000 years. they found that nat

if i did one along with stephen hawking, i would get the same result —— a pass mark.redibly controversial. there was a reputable piece of research back in the 70s which showed two thirds of grammar school pupils were the children of manual workers and that is reputable research too. let parents decide at a local level. that's what i would argue, let the parents decide. that is the government argument today, isn't it? this is about providing greater parental choice.” isn't it? this is about providing greater parental choice. i think that it had to be —— has to be predicated on evidence and whilst you may dispute evidence there has to bea you may dispute evidence there has to be a consensus around the evidence base and there is no threat whatsoever of evidence that supports grammar schools raising standards. do they help disadvantaged children? no, because they have no wherewithal to do so. a school like mine, about 50% of children come from a disadvantaged background. part of the argument from the government today, you will only get this extra money and be allowed to e

a few weeks ago the world mourned the death of professor stephen hawking, i had known him when i was even then he was a remarkable personality. someone in the days after he died remarked that in heaven he would no longer be in his wheelchair and it was a comment that upset many people living with impairments because it gets to the heart of what it is to be human. for some it implies that for people who have such a condition, including those injured in the attack in manchester, are lesser beings needing what is wrong with them to be put right. 0ne needing what is wrong with them to be put right. one of my relatives a few years ago suffered from anxiety attacks and was prescribed medication which removed the symptoms but left him feeling blank and empty. he stopped taking the ta blets. and empty. he stopped taking the tablets. my anxiety, he said, is pa rt tablets. my anxiety, he said, is part of me and i'd rather have that than the emptiness the pills replace it with. i deeply believe that we are, each one of us, fashioned by a loving god, not simply to spend a short time on earth and

stephen hawking.uty snooping. [ laughter ] we were working out the riddles of the universe. hanging out with these two men and carl sagan as well, you know, if there's one line i came away with understanding after spending time with them and the way their minds work is that for me god's back yard is a whole lot bigger than i thought it was. >> jimmy: they put it in perspective. >> yeah. just perspective of the tiny dot we are. and how many galaxies make up the universe, how many multiple universes there maybe. it's pretty awe inspiring. >> jimmy: this definitely sounds similar to what you may have been talking about with snoop and jimmy buffett i imagine. [ applause ] >> working it out. >> jimmy: you know, mike myers was here i think like two or three weeks ago and he told a story but and your wife camila and him. he said he was at a hotel. i want to get your take on this. did you see this by any chance? >> no, i haven't seen it. but i was there. >> jimmy: so what he says happened -- so we don't know

i don't know how to write that chapter like with stephen hawking i really didn't know what i wanted to write and the analytical side wouldn't give me the answer but then you learn to relax and refocus your brain to let that cauldron of ideas to bubble up and it comes to you and you think about it were you told me yourself in the process you go to bed and in the morning the chapter is written. [laughter] >> early in my career with those molecules of emotion and she wants said to me our bodies are the subconscious mind and at that time we were still looking at things like serotonin but now we know the microbiota is 99% of the genetic information in our body and even more important that microbiota genes are responsible for more than 90% of the serotonin that is produced in her body and because of the microbiota but also the networks looking at the heart. but that bottoms up thinking could this. so it is body thinking in a way. >> and also detrimental to your logical thinking. your emotions are closely tied so everyone has heard the phrase we only use 10% of our brain that is a myth we use

very topical there's a chorus of international experts people like a long lost gore or the late stephen hawking who are very concerned and a warning that. into intelligent machines are already fundamentally changing the fabric of our society by amassing all of this personal data making us so transparent advancing science and medicine and obviously there are lots of ways where it is actually making life better but the question is how fast could we lose control of some of these technologies and how easily could they be misused the good side of the concern is the fact that we've seen these ideas being played out in pop culture a lot yes of course i mean as they have been since frankenstein i mean anxiety is a is it is obviously a very very fruitful well but it's a question with a lot of the books and films today's to me that were given calling science fiction recife i am wondering if we can even still can include the five sometimes because so much of what we're seeing is actually. not really live fiction anymore like for instance with the very popular netflix series black mirror which looks at the

difficult so there's an international chorus of experts of course as you know elon musk and the late stephen hawking who have been warning for a long time already that intelligent machines are already making sort of a fundamental change to the fabric of our society and there are of course ways in which artificial intelligence is already helping our lives and making things easier but the question is just how fast and if we could lose control of these technologies for setting stuff free out there that we can no longer real back in and and of course how to what extent that could be misused right and these exiled is of course are perfect for a prob culture because they're going to start is back with frankenstein and it has been changed but it's almost a question to daily you know if these books and films that were calling as to whether we can actually still use the five because some of it really isn't even very far from it isn't fiction anymore. i think that this very popular netflix series that you know black mirror which looks like a possible implication technology on society in these little stand-alo

you see stephen hawking, many people, elon musk and others, warning of the future that we are creating. i want to talk about that future. in some ways the most important thing i want to say is a preface, caveat. the truth is, there is no crystal ball. for a long time futureis can tell you what the world will look like in ten years. and if they're wrong in ten years, you probably won't remember what they said. it's a wonderful job if you can get it. i think more than that we need to stop and acknowledge at the get-go it is won to discern a number of trends and we can make decisions based on the trend. but there is no such thing as a crystal ball. none of us know what lies ahead. so how do we preticket what is coming? that really is the fundamental question , how do we figure this out? there are many ways and there's some exciting research going on right here at princeton, but i want tougher two thoughts. two david an hit cal approaches if you will to think about what may be coming in store for all of us. the first is to learn from the past. to learn from history. not because it will rep

. >> if i'd been elon, i might have gone to see -- like stephen hawking is all a hologram.se prior to the big bang? >> do you understand that? it had something to do with string theory, but that's where i would have gone. >> i think it's 50% chance that the analysts are simulations on the call i would say, listen, don't drink and drive. he wasn't in a car, was he >> you know what, jim? i think a lot of ceos, if they had the poetic license to do that they would, too they get sick of questions like that, too, but elon musk -- he may not next time, though. >> a lot of people are saying it's an enron moment when he realizes, what have i done he blows it up and from now on it will be the car guys and maybe we have to have a reporter go out and make it a tesla weekend, you know? and get that galileo he was brilliant let's get cap eakaepernick us. >> he's entertaining these calls are going. i like the call. >> excellent >> i had it with at&t. how could you not have the call with tnt >> maybe with the mets >> i'll do the call from san miguel next time. >> san miguel coming up. >> c

. >> stephen: there is headlines people are hawking about now, in the article talking about crossfirestigating trump shows no link to lotion gave afternoon air of finality that that didn't support. >> right. >> stephen: how did that happen? that was in print. a lot of thought went into it. >> that's right. that was a case in which we wrote a story about a year ago. we wrote what we knew at the time, and our mistake, to be frank, is we made a headline that made it look like we knew more than we did. we actually thought we knew a lot. we kept reporting, and every time we reported something new, even if it contradicted what we reported back in that story, we wrote it anyway. i mean, to be frank, the -- to be blunt, the cowardly way would be let's pretend that didn't happen, let's not report that anymore. the most recent story you're referring to there, we actually went in and said, you know, we now know stuff that we wish we had known back then and we now understand that the headline made it look like we knew more than we did, that sense of finality, and we said that in the story, we own

>> stephen: now, in-- in "infinity war" i mean every superhero ever imagined is in the movie, other than hawked or is it all just ping pong balls on a broomstick? >> it's both. it's both. there are-- i would say it's more moment where's you actually do perform with other actors. and i think there are-- weird times when it's kind of both things at once where, you know, like mark ruff low, for instance, does not look like the incredible hulk in real life. >> stephen: not a big guy. >> so he actually has a suit that he wares that is like a little kid's pajamas, basically. >> stephen: like footy pajamas. >> i think they call it the man-humbling suit. few people wear it, like tom harlow has to wear it for spider-man. >> stephen: the "man humbling" suit? is it cold? >> no, but the cold could be involved in some way. but, yeah, it's like-- they sometimes have, like, this pole connected to them so that you look up at maybe a tennis ball -- >> stephen: where the hulk's head is. >> the hulk's should up there. he's standing right in front of me but i have to actually talk to him up there. you hear this vo

profile of stephen miller and he sort of represents the kind of vision that i think the president has in an inchoate sense. you write "miller has emerged as a staunch ideologue and immigration hawk generation of conservatives for whom melting the snowflakes and triggering the libs are first principles." what do yo mean? >> this is the thing that's interesting about stephen miller is that while he does believe in these right wing nationalist ideas and these ideological principles he champions as a matter of policy he also believes as a first value in the idea of advancing his agenda in the most kind of offensive or outrageous or controversial provocative way possible. he enjoys getting a rise out of his political opponents and critics, he tries to do things when he's writing speeches for the president or even enacting policy like the travel ban last year. he's doing in the the most provocative way, calculated to create kind of hysteria on the other side of the aisle because he counts that anger on display in his critics as a political win. >> and that -- it strikes me that that is one prism to understand sort of everything in the kind of news arc today, right? from the stories we
