How can the human race survive the next hundred years? ask's Stephen Hawking's

the Stephen Hawking's F&Q blogg on Yahoo Answers.

Dr. Stephen Hawking
I'm a theoretical physicist and the Lucasian Professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. I've continued my career there, despite enduring severe disability caused by motor neurone disease (specifically, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). My 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, became a best-seller and brought my work in physics to a broader group so that all people could learn from it, rather than just academics.

Yahoo Answers Point System

Points and Levels

To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

Points Table

Levels are another way to keep track of how active you (and others) have been. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's!

And finally, as you attain higher levels, you'll also be able to contribute more to Yahoo! Answers - you can ask, answer, vote and rate more frequently. *All limitations are per day
