The most important question in all this is how will it affect the STARGATE universe? Carter is going to have to adjust her techno-jargon, and the DeLouise boys are going to have to bone up.

It never ends

I once knew a moebius stripper....never quite nude, never quite dressed.

"Stephen Hawking at one end, DEMOCRATIC VOTERS on the other."

SH is his own paradox then. Unless the scale is a spinning, ungraduated circle.

That was a horrible movie. But I *do* give it credit for actually treating human exposure to the vacuum of space in a realistic way, i.e., being survivable with nosebleeds and such, instead of exploding a la "Outland" or freezing instantly like Tim Robbins in "Mission to Mars."

That's very one sided

Unilateralism at its best!

Well with a flipflop of this magnitude does it mean that Hawkings will be replacing Edwards on the Kerry ticket? :-)

"It is the sign of the most intelligent to admit mistakes."

It isn't necessary to be intelligent to be more interested in the truth than the inflation of one's own ego. Of course, this still doesn't mean he's right. He was wrong before. He may well be wrong now.

I liked that movie! Mostly because my psycho-hose-beast of an ex-fiance' hated it. She actually wanted to walk out, so naturally I talked her out of it. :)

I could swear that SH discussed black holes "evaporating" via quantum tunneling several years ago. Am I right, or just hopped up on the beeber?

After seeing the title I thought this was referring to Jesse Jackson's mouth.
