Steven hawking died.....

[luger fan]

Confectionist, Author/Cartoonist, Politician, Idiot, Racecar Driver, Unknown.... all not scientific minds.

Sadly to some they are all the same.

RIP Mr. Hawking....One of the great scientific minds of our time........Pleased to see my theistic brothers and sisters on here not piling on like what happened in the Billy Graham thread.....

RIP Sir....May your final question be answered to your satisfaction.....

What is amazing to me is that he was diagnosed with ALS at 21 yrs old, only given 2 years to live. He may be the longest survivor of that disease so far. I once read an article about it, and nobody could explain how he'd lived so long.

Brilliant dude. While I disagreed with where he ended up on a good number of things, I never once thought him to be less than earnest and honest in his beliefs. May he Rest In Peace.

I have a theory....

Today is also Albert Einstein's b-day.

RIP to probably the greatest scientific mind, after James Watson, since Einstein.

If you want to talk about the greatest scientific mind, it will probably take a long time before John von Neumann is eclipsed. I'm afraid Hawking was famous because of his disease, not because he was the most brilliant scientist. There are many physicists and cosmologists that the public never hears about that are far more important to humanity's progress in understanding the universe than Hawking.

Farraday, Maxwell, Einstein, Schroedinger, Feynman, Gell-Mann....the list goes on and those are only the ones that the press knows about when some scientist mentions them.

Hawking was primarily a science personality for a number of decades.

S he was the original Neil degrasse Tyson?

Still better than Bill Nye.

No, he did some bleeding edge work on quantum gravity, singularity radiation and extending Penrose's work. At the time, 70-80's, it was new and innovative. But the theories have moved since that time.

It's amazing how often someone I thought was already dead dies.

And today is 314. Pi day.

I guess it shows who has more class.



He was a great scientific mind. Sad to see him go.

I saw that one earlier today that just had the F word in the speech bubble.

The left made him a hero for three reasons.....

1. He did not say there was a God
2. disease neutralized his gender threat
3. they think saying his name raises their IQ by 20 points
