I just recently came across an article on Slashdot about Stephen Hawking and his thoughts on the origin of the universe. Since he is a very popular scientist, I decided to check out the article to see what he had to say. According to Hawking, he believes the universe spontaneously popped into existence from nothing. Hawking spoke about this subject to a sold out crowd at the Berkeley Physics Oppenheimer Lecture and his speech can be viewed through a webcast from this site.
