Stephen Hawking RIP
« on: March 14, 2018, 07:15:09 AM »
The world has lost one of the truly great minds of science. English physicist Stephen Hawking is dead at 76. Hawking finally lost his battle overnight with ALS, a rare form of motor neurone disease also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, outliving the predictions of doctors by decades.

As someone with a Msc in physics it was my pleasure to attend several of his lectures over the past 40 years. RIP Stephen Hawking.

I enjoyed watching him and reading a lot of what he said. I thought Hawking was the best mind in physics since Einstein.

I enjoyed his repartee with Sheldon on Big Bang.



Listen to the very end when Stephen says:  "Can you see the irony in that statement?  How about now?"

One final prediction he made wasn't a good one. He believed robots with evolving artificial intelligence will bring an end to humans. Even Putin's not tough enough to do that.

Yes but what does Stephen Hawking have to do with the experienced section of this FSU dating forum page! Was he into FSW also, lol.

Personally though I think he was over-rated, spoke a lot of unsubstantiated guf, but got recognition because of his condition. I kind of always felt sorry for him having to be imprisoned in that shell of a body confined to a wheelchair for all those years, kind of a cruel fate to have bestowed upon someone I think.

This only proves you don't understand physics at all.. not that I am surprised this would come from you.
One of the sharpest minds there has ever been, recognized by the whole science community and highly admired around the world.

Even if half the stuff he said was right, it makes him a genius. Most people wouldn't be able to get it right or wrong because they aren't a deep enough thinker to think of the things Hawkins was able to think of.

He was also a big fan of brexit - not ...

Political views doesn't make or break Hawkins. He's allowed an opinion on politics like everyone else. If someone had the right answer on politics, then we're living in fantasy land because that person will never exist.
