Stephen Hawking lectures on the Hawking-Hartle no boundary universe. Why Are We Here? Where Did We Come From?

This a VERY thought provoking presentation by Stephen Hawking. I would like to stress a few things about the clip that you should know.

First, this stuff can be difficult to understand. You can watch it more than once and get more out of it each time but there are some fundamentals about the universe that he assumes the viewer already knows. Please don't be intimidated or think that it's a waste of time to watch if you don't understand some of the concepts. Just listen and keep watching if you can and come back to the confusing parts later if you wish.

Second, this might be a little boring if you don't watch it with an open mind. It's not fictitious, just hard to grasp and enjoy if you don't pay close enough attention.

Lastly, Stephen Hawking has some longer than usual pauses between some of his sentences. Use your patience.

I hope everyone that watches it likes it.
