Professor Hawking agrees that there is a demand for science in education. His book has just been published and contains a warning and urgency to young people around the world.
“Acknowledging that science had yet to overcome major challenges for the world – including climate change, overpopulation, species extinction, deforestation and the degradation of the oceans – the physicist still urged young people “to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.” Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist,” he said. “It matters that you don’t give up. Unleash your imagination. Shape the future.”
