Actually that’s kinda funny with apologies to the Iron Lady.
Too smart for the everyday world....
Hawking is as much a scientist as Bill Nye is.
Everything else being the same if he were physically able, nobody would have heard of him. What blackness did for Obama is what physical disability does for Hawking.
Who cares what a robot thinks?
That’s a good summary.
He’s a bubble-boy Moop surrounded by Trump haters, so he’s giving us a Pauline Kael opinion.
He should stick to physics.
“demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,”
Unlike the left who cry racism and promise free candy?
Hey, genius, Trump doesn't even come close to 0bongo.
That's odd.
I've always been bewildered by Stephen Hawking.
Enough said.
... never mind.
>> the lowest common denominator
Hawking is an idiot.
When Hawking is busy doing calculus equations all of his waking moments, he has little time to think about the realities of American politics. The essence of matter is enough for him to handle. Taking on the essence of Donald Trump may consume more time than Hawking is willing to spend. And, it shows, from what he has said.
However, outside of his expertise he seems to be clueless and stubborn in his old age. Too arrogant to learn new things or think things through. He has said one of the most infamously stupid things about metaphysics to be uttered by somebody of prominence:
Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist...
Gotfried Leibnitz might be very impressed with the discoveries of modern science, but I this little statement might cancel all his admiration of it out...
But then I thought: that's the whole point with this guy. His physical disability is the perfect cover for his stupid theories. The average person says: I'm too stupid to understand this guy.
And the PC police prevent his peers from criticizing him.
A world-renowned physicist being unable to see the application of Newton's Third Law, which is basic physics, in a social, rather than physical setting? It appears that Hawking's much ballyhooed 'expertise' is overstated. It should be as obvious to him as it is to me, who is after all is said and done, a lowly electronics technician, not a physicist...

You, my FRiend, "get it". Newton's Laws can, and should be both applied, and taken into account in any number of endeavors, in any number of disciplines where they are not currently. This alone, would reduce the incidence of actual "unintended consequences" of poorly thought out plans and theories.
"Unintended consequences" which are *deliberate*, however, would not be affected, but would certainly be easier to spot, and corrected...

Good one.
He should shut up and think.
