You just gotta love it: “expert in theoretical physics and cosmology!”

“EXPERT in THEORETICAL.....”

The perfect description of a “heavy thinker...little dooer!”

What ACTUAL tangible accomplishments has he done?

I doubt he’s ever had the experience of his neighborhood turning into the OK corral, night after night, only to have all hostilities abruptly cease when a house full of illegal immigrants around the block is arrested enmasse and carted away on drug charges.

Dear Stevie

You need to read my book, "A Brief History of American Politics"

There you will learn the American People will only take so much abuse before they fight back.

It ain't rocket science.

‘”Hey Hawking, I’m smarter than you.

Your third rate debunked black hole event horizon is drivel.

Your single singularity proffered as the defacto start of all time - poop.”

Hmmmmm....you certainly post like someone smarter than Hawking.

He's also bewildered by how some people are able to chew their own food.I'll bet there's a connection.

You are so right. I know people who are brilliant in their area of expertise, but away from that they are astonishingly dumb.

Unfortunately, Hawking comes from a family of committed socialist-academic types, who never had a real job in their lives.

While his science-as-entertainment and personal brand have been very successful, it appears that the durability of his contributions to physics will be far less impressive.

"...not having the opportunity to run over Margaret Thatcher's toes."

What a class act!

I’ve read some of his books and when I was younger, I was fascinated by these brilliant physicist people, but I came to realize that these are all really, really deep theories with very little proven experimental evidence. I started to notice over time that they would find issues with a calculation on the big bang for example....and it would change the age of the universe by 10 billion years... or some other big error or new piece of info would massively change another calculation.

I think 80% of this crap is pseudoscience and designed to generate grant money.

The real physicists were people like Einstein and Richard Feynman who were brilliant and actually proved theories by creating the atomic bomb among other things.

This guy is an over rated by people who don’t believe in God IMO. He is very bitter. I see no element of original thought. IMO he is a fraud.

You know, I have thought about that clip of TRUMP that became so controversial.

I have seen him do a less exaggerated form of the same thing in a half a dozen rallies, when he is disgusted by someone’s hypocrisy or their idiotic remarks.

It seems to me that his gyrations come natural to him in those moments, when he is signaling intellectual or political idiocy on the part of his target. He mimics the idiot as such.

In the case of the disabled reporter, it was very early on in the campaign and he was cutting loose with his irritation, and then we find out that in this case, the target was actually disabled.

Now, he still occasionally comes awfully close to doing the same thing, but seems to take care to tone it down is all because of all the misunderstanding.

Also, another quirk, TRUMP speaks in shorthand, and only TRUMP supporters seem to get it.

For example, he said he’s “winning with Hispanics”. Well, he must have read of that report out of Los Angeles, where Hispanic American citizens were for him plenty big, and it shocked the writer to have to report that.

For TRUMP, and in my own opinion, he therefore *IS WINNING*, those Hispanics.

The total number among all Hispanics who are La Raza types is a very good question to investigate.

Exactly, what has he contributed? What theory of his has benefited mankind? I call BS on his work.

A lot of people confuse “educated” and “common sense”. They think their “education” means we are stupid since we don’t have it and they disagree with our opinions.

Some very educated people have designed the theory behind Venezuela. I bet they all claim to be right even today - and their education wasn’t on “space”.

Support for Trump bewilders him, but he’s just fine with leaders on his own continent importing millions of crazed, violent cultists.

Hawking called Trump “a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,”

Lots of space between them ears, Stephen.

“Exactly, what has he contributed? “

He wrote a book that SOLD 10 million copies and virtually NO ONE read.

That’s quite a feat. :-)
