Astronomers quotes no heaven is in the universe

 

While the existence of heaven is a matter of faith and not science, many astronomers, like Stephen Hawking, have expressed that there is no scientific basis for a physical heaven within the universe.

 

Hawking said that heaven is a "fairy story (동화, 꾸며낸 이야기)".

Other perspectives suggest heaven might exist outside our known universe or be a non-physical realm.

Scientific evidence, based on our current understanding of the universe, has not shown the existence of a place like "heaven" as described in many religious traditions.

 

However, it's important to clarify what "heaven" refers to in this context:

 

Heaven as a scientific concept:

When astronomers and scientists study the cosmos, their methods are limited to observable phenomena and natural laws.

The concept of heaven as a supernatural realm or afterlife falls outside the scope of scientific investigation because it is not considered part of the physical universe as currently understood.

 

Individual scientists' beliefs:

While science as a discipline doesn't affirm or deny heaven, individual scientists, like anyone else, hold a range of personal beliefs, some of whom may be religious and believe in heaven.

 

In short, when astronomers discuss the universe, they operate within the framework of scientific methodology, which does not provide evidence for the existence of a "heaven" as a physical location or supernatural realm within the observable cosmos.
