Live Science ^ | January, 2012 | Clara Moskowitz

From the idea that our universe is one among many, to the revelation that mathematician Pythagoras didn't actually invent the Pythagorean theorem, here are eight shocking things we learned from reading physicist Stephen Hawking's new book, "The Grand Design," written with fellow physicist Leonard Mlodinow of Caltech.

The book, covering major questions about the nature and origin of the universe, was released Sept. 7, 2010, by its publisher, Bantam.

Hawking certainly has a distorted view of reality, especially when it comes to Israel.

I think all his theories, research and publications should be called into question because he didn't take a trip to Israel.

Spelling is certainly not one of you strong points. Saying that I smoke crack, is that one of the things you say is true but while you can't prove it even if you know it true? Either way the answer is quite interesting bcause saying Yes, would be an out and out lie, saying no would be less disingenuous because you could have implied that you were a prognosticator of some sort

So might you kindly pander to the audience's intriguing curiosity and good naturedly give us one example when truth entered your life and you divined its arrival or concluded something on your own that came to fruition. We're a one big happy FReeper Family ready and willing to share the fun and frivolity of someone like yourself who I ascertain is one rip-roaring, fun kind of guy. So crank out that fertile imagination of yours and let the frivolity begin.

I also wanted to say how much I love the name Knarf. Is that your dog's name? Because some FREepers do use their dog's name as pseudonyms. Knarf is great. it's got this great Viking sound to it, could very well be a Norse God, on the way home to Valhalla with hundreds of Norse virgin slave girls to keep you busy and once the winter is everyone's gonna be Knarfing and you'll be over run by hundred of Knarfs It's a great name when you're out raping and pillaging, thats for sure. Can't wait to hear from you Please get back to m asap I don't know why but this song from the seventies "Why can't We friends, why can't we be friends" began to play in my head almost like an epiphany as soon as you called me out as an electron. While that was great I'm really like a positron with a large percentage of higggs Boson, and a fun loving quarkiness most neutrons find electrifying,

"Remember you said I had a mix up with Oppenheimer's quotes"

Please go to #18, compare/contrast whom you're speaking to, and about what, then come back to these last couple of replies to me and tell me you haven't confused me with someone else

Yes, you are extraordinarily correct, I have been overwhelmingly myopic, inattentive in having made a fool of myself. Please accept my sincerest apology for being such a clueless idiot. This issue is over, out and done with meaning, I’m moving forward not backward. Again, Knarf, sorry for having been so obnoxious.

I’ve been around here long enough to know what makes for a family man. You’re the real thing. Thank you.
