I came across this article: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2011/may/15/stephen-hawking-interview-there-is-no-heaven
In this article he states that heaven "is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark", but I don't get the point, when Hawking says there is no being after death, then there is also no darkness. There is just nothing, no darkness, no feelings, so nothing you have to fear?
Was it a bad used metaphora or did I miss something and Hawking believes in "feeling a darkness" after death?
