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.

Very, very SAD. Brilliant, brilliant Guy. RIP Sir.

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.

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.

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?

Chandra telescope was named after Indian American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.

I doubt it. The Dr. Chandra he spoke about is Guyanese. The famous Indian scientist called Dr. Chandra has to be from India.

That fellow is god deluded. However, the science tells us the universe we observe is 5 percent of what is. 95 percent of what is out there is outside of physics but we could only gain understanding of it inferentially. We can see the stars a the edge of galaxies traveling at the same speed as those closer to the center. "Something" non physical is keeping the stars together.
The problem with this fellow is he would prefer to think a contemplate god is out there, a creator uncreated but yet cannot accept a self generating universe.

I do not know this Dr Chandra. A top spins because it got its inertia from some one imparting the spin. The sum total of its inertia acts perpendicular to its spin and keep it upright. In space that would continue forever. I do not know of any proof that could add to or subtract from its inertia except an external action. Friction slows it down and cause it to lose momentum on earth. Nothing slows it down in space. There is no stationary non rotating object observed in space. By the way, Andromeda is twice the size of the milky way...some 200 light years across... and it is careening our way

Definitely not. This scientist is comparable to Hawkins in many ways. His name is chandrasekhar and was monumental in his ideas about the life cycle of stars. He also give us the idea of orbital limits and where a satellite would simply be crushed gravity. It tells us the distance when spaghettization begins around black holes

It is also a different conception of what constitute matter. These days we have been battling with concepts of dark energy and dark matter both of which we cannot directly determine to exist but which we can infer acts as the skeleton of the universe and seem to hold everything together and constitute some 95 percent of all things.
The idea of god is begging the question. To quote aristotle also does not help. His idea of god was one that contemplates everything hence nothing so there is the something from nothing philosophically rather than from a quantum vacuum hypothesis.
I just read about the racism that the great Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (Chandra), the man who discovered black holes, experienced at the hands of Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington at Cambridge University as stated by the Guardian newspaper.
Hawking died on March 14. Einstein was born on March 14. They both died at age 76.
And Rush was born on April 1st.
Why do so many Republicans dislike education?
Racism has been the scourge on humanity from the beginning of time and although we have positively evolved since then, unfortunately is still around although in smaller pockets around the world.
According to some people racism has ended. Obama was elected President. Every successful black man now got a white woman standing behind him waiting for his credit card with her purse which has a bill receipt inside of it.

Good observation. Dem NBA boys are lining up to give up their credit cards to white women.
When it comes to sex, white women are fairly easy. Guyana style sooring is unnecessary. So it is not surprising that NBA players as well as other sports players would find them accessible.
It is all about the money. Do you think those good looking white women would really want a very tall black man if he did not have a Mansion, cars, cloths and money in the bank. Show me a really wealthy white woman who inherited her millions who is married to an NBA black player.
Only on GN&I you can go from Stephen Hawking to gold diggers.

Every thing for you dumb assed low IQ nits turn into race baiting. These men go to white schools, they travel in white circles and will meet people from their own income and social class and inevitably they do marry from that class. A nit like you would of course think a white women as a prize to be sought out and be preferred over a black women. I also remember what your classless ass said about Mrs Obama.

I would not classify it as easy. That demeans a woman. Culturally we say guyanese woman has different attitude to sex but that is also an illusion. Were in not the case we would not be chattering in our backrooms and rum dens about the number of conquests we have.

Why do you insist on making such stupid statements that are not borne out by facts? The statistics show that minority men earn 25 percent less than white men of similar social status. Is there a fat white women influencing this disparity? You bigots cannot restrain your ignorance even in a thread on the death of a genius of the sort as Hawkins.
