Hawking was a smart guy who badly abused his wives. In terms of impact on the world, he wasn’t close to the league of Sir Isaac Newton (who was a snivelling coward and all round nasty piece of work) nor Albert Einstein, who apparently was quite a nice guy.
RIP Stephen Hawking

DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
Re: RIP Stephen Hawking
Source? My google fu comes up empty. Some vague unsubstantiated articles of Hawking being abused BY one of his wives, but nothing the other way.

Re: RIP Stephen Hawking
Dr. Hawking's work may have been great.
However, it will surely be eclipsed by the man that discovers the technology to eliminate the double post epidemic that has plagued mankind for decades.
Happy 2019 all.

Re: RIP Stephen Hawking
I'm more interested in the published and peer-reviewed account of his accomplishments than I am in the "Vanity Fair" version.
If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself
Re: RIP Stephen Hawking
Hawkings badly abused his wives ? ...as much respect as I have for Einstein and his genius work ....he was notorious for having affairs and ultimately married his first cousin Elsa Einstein .

We need a soap about scientists. Sort of like a "Blackadder: Scientists" edition.

Haha.
Baldrick “I have a cunning theory. I postulate that gravity is the curvature of space time.”
Blackadder “I have a better theory. I postulate that gravity is the curvature of space time!”
Geez did I say that....? Or just think it....?

Why isnt anyone talking about the fact a year old thread surfaced for no real valuable reason?

Re: RIP Stephen Hawking
Hey Photo, how about you tell us which parts of Dr Hawkings research you have disproved? I’m sure your PhD work advanced mankind tremendously.photofly wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 8:18 pmOk, I’ll be the one to call bullshit. Tell us all about the groundbreaking work, and how you think it’s going to impact us all positively, please.HansDietrich wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 4:27 am I have a feeling we haven't yet realized the positive impact this man's work has on humanity. (Credit must also be given to the many that worked along side him). One day, humanity will look back and say "We have this technology and this technology because of the groundbreaking work by Dr. Hawking.
- Newton, Einstein, Hawking... you get my point.
No, I don’t get your point. I do know however that a wheelchair and a speech synthesizer are both fabulous media props.

Had to have a chuckle at that ... I think your onto something there ... maybe a physicists version of the Days of Our Lives

Re: RIP Stephen Hawking
I thought that was the idea behind Big Bang Theory.
