hm, this is just a publicity stunt just to get people interested in his new book.

How do you know this? Stephen could be just a good saleman , selling a load of bull. |
PhD in theoretical physics, deep understanding of the laws of physics, sound understanding of many of the theories currently debated in physics, has published many peer reviewed papers, fellow of the royal society for his achievements, once occupied the same role at Cambridge as other scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Arthur Eddington, one of the most celebrated scientists of all time...
Nah, he's just good salesman, doesn't understand the universe at all.

A PhD would give him even more ability to sell bull to the common person. Understanding physics doesn't equal understand the universe including ourselves.

Haha, don't worry its not exactly like that. Stephen Hawking's words have been twisted a bit, he said God wasn't necessary for the origin of the universe, not that he didn't exist. It's slightly different to saying he doesn't exist outright. Personally he doesn't accept a divine origin to the universe though.
It's probably also important to note that when a theoretical physicist talks about "God", they just use it in a poetic sense to describe any generic intelligence determining the initial state of our universe. It's not relating to a personal God of any kind. Just thought I'd clear that up as it usually comes into these threads at some point.

His work on singularities and hawking radiation completely definitely prove that he isn't selling bull.

Ouch! That's an insult to those of us going down the PhD route. You know, we're expected to have this little thing called integrity. In fact it's hard to get one without it.

Even if he understand black holes and send his mother-in- law through one is not the same as understanding the universe which happens to have a creature which thinks it understands the universe.

I think it is sad to assume that is what I meant. As in more advance, obviously I meant in technology. Duh
edit. In my opinion, only technology can make our lifes better. religion, and politics doen't help us at all because religion and politics go hand in hand. But, this has nothing to do with the topic, kind of.

I've alway's said if an alien lifeform were to ever visit earth the first thing ''they'' would judge us on is the fact that something ancient like religion is still widely accepted here. In their eyes it would probably make us look like cavemen. |
Yes, I agree with you 110%

And I'm assuming Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee were the supervisors?
