It means the universe itself, in all its mind-boggling vastness and complexity, could simply have popped into existence without violating the known laws of nature.

Opening up the thrill and wonder of scientific discovery, creating innovative and accessible ways to reach out the widest audience possible, greatly increases the chances of finding and inspiring the new Einstein. Wherever she might be.

Prof Stephen Hawking, one of Britain's pre-eminent scientists, has said that efforts to create thinking machines pose a threat to our very existence. He told the BBC:The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.

Cada vez que observamos novos experimentos coincidirem com as previsões, a teoria sobrevive e nossa confiança nela aumenta; porém, se em algum momento uma nova observação a contradiz, temos de abandonar a teoria ou modificá-la. Pelo
