Stephen Hawking, the brilliant British theoretical physicist who overcame a debilitating disease to publish wildly popular books probing the mysteries of the universe, has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 76.
Sad! Brilliant guy!
RIP!
Shows the mind is our greatest asset....
I awoke at around 3 this morning and switched to CNN to see if they had a conclusion on the PA elections when I saw that he passed away. Strangely I had an emotional response like I lost a relative. We just lost one of the greatest minds of our time. May his soul Rest In Peace.
According to Hawking there was nothing before the universe.
I am disgusted with politics. I don't care about it any more. That loud mouthed ignoramus who is speaking of a "Space Force" as an extension of the armed forces just makes me cringe at populist blindness that can doom humanity. Fighting in space would be the end of us. Exploding a few satellites up there would mean we are trapped on the planet for ever. I have not heard one mention from him about a permanent settlement on the moon, going to mars, creating a network to look for doomsday rocks....not a damn thing about satiating our seminal need...to explore. The stupid fellow instead speaks of armies in space.
RIP. One of the worldâs most brilliant minds in Physics.

Nothing is something...vacuum potential...E equals half hv summed for all points means infinite energy...well know and acceptable physic fact.
Hawkins said black holes can evaporate ( albeit over eons!) The idea of vacuum fluctuations or the creation of matter anti matter particle pairs on a black holes event horizon with one escaping means black hole can die.
RIP. He a wan great man. Ow look how dis one white man set up de basic theory foh bring together quantum mechanics and gravity (meh buddy at CUNY explain dem dis big words foh me when meh go Queens NY). Me is one cane cutta who follow me sciece. And abie coolie man and blackman na know what unit cost mean suh dem ge Exxon nuff nuff loophole foh manipulate profit. Dem see education as wan commodity foh be prestige wh0res and tek kickback foh support 3 sweet homans. Dem coolie man and blackman in PPP/AFC/PNC na see am as something foh de great good. Dis one whiteman ge abie theory and dem hustlers, pushers and hucksters in abie govt down deh na know wah is de purpose foh think systematic wid theory. Dem say how dem gat street sense. Dat theory is book sense. Yes dem gat street sense but dem na know wah unit cost mean with all dem Harvard post attendance certificate and online dactorates and street sense. But bai dem street sense ge dem nuff gumpshun foh tek Pradoville house lot and sell am foh 1 mill USD. Me hope Clive Thomas jail some of dem.
Very, very SAD. Brilliant, brilliant Guy. RIP Sir.
labba...yuh need to translate that stuff man
A person with views and mission. RIP.

Hey hey hey...
Ayoo look how much peopkle celebrate de great man

Labba all over di place; science, cosmos, quantum physics, huckster, hustlers, tiefman, Milky Way, Pradoville, CUNY, Exxon, dat dat dat.......
Datt economist versatile!

Ehehe
I hope Hawking is given a state funeral. He was the world's greatest astrophysicist since Einstein.

Putin placed Russia's Air Force under Russian Aerospace Forces in 2015. Coincidence?
Remarkable people do remarkable things. Even in the face of adversity. Stephen Hawking was truly brilliant.
Rush thinks Hawking is an idiot.
Coming from Rush that means diddly squat...same as anything by Trump.
Exactly. Rush likes to brag that he ties half his brain behind his back just to make things fair with his opponents. That brag itself is quite revealing.
That fat rass full of it, he couldn't get anything 'round him.
An amazing human being was he. I don't know how a person who was confined to a wheel chair could have known so much about the world that we live in. Sometimes I want to think there is some sort of divine power present in people like this great physicist. I took one class in physics and astronomy. Physics is not for me. Astronomy is much easier and interesting. Men like are truly gifted.

cant speak of astronomy without physics.

Dsquare is correct...the basic principles of physics are used in astronomy.
I guess what BB said is akin to me saying I hate business math but love accounting.
Hawking was also full of BS.
If Hawking was full of BS then you and fat Rush should come up with the maths to prove the man was wrong. The man already did his maths to prove his points.

Some folks can blabber.
To them their "Patra" is more scientific than space probes.

His assumptions are yet to proven. Not to say he was BS. Years from now, he could be proven as a genius. But for now, he has alot of assumptions..

Compare the intelligence of the two, then he should decide who is the idiot.

I know that. When an astronomer speaks of the distance of a hundred thousand light years across the Andromeda Galaxy one must have a little knowledge of physics to understand what it means.
A relative of mine whose husband (Guyanese) studied physics at the college of London in the early sixties told me about a Guyanese physicist by the name of Dr. Chandra who tried to prove that a spinning top defies Newton's law of inertia. This is what he said. I don't know if it has any merit to it.
The man's assumptions were all backed up by maths. Hawking radiation given off by black holes is a fact accepted by scientists . If Seig wants to prove that it is real then he can try travelling to a black hole.

There was a famous Indian scientist called Dr Chandra. NASA named an xray telescope after him. Is that the Man?
