Excellent question....
Mr. Hawking,
With all due respect, you are on the wrong side of history, and on the wrong side of humanity.
All these scientist smarty pants types are ALWAYS left wingers...remember Carl Sagan? Enviro-wacko.
Stephen - go crawl back into your wormhole!
I sense a bitter mood moving over FR...
If Kerry wins you will be walking and talking in no time!
It's difficult to not be cast as the bully when one counters a technically brilliant man in a wheelchair. But, you are correct.
Mr. Hawking, for all of his knowledge and specialized intelligence is woefully incapable of making a call on this issue.
I recently checked out a copy of the SFWA Grand Masters Vol 2. and was reminded of how many of the writers I once enjoyed reading, were and are unrepentant lefty nutballs.
Asimov, Clarke, Bester, Aldiss, Dick, etc. are great creative minds but man...what idiots when it comes to right and wrong in the real world.
What does it matter if Iraq had or didn't have WMD? All of Islam is of a piece and is at war with Israel, the Jews, America, Americans and Western civilization. They want us dead and will do ANYTHING to kill us.
Shall we wait for the first Islamofascist nuke to go off in NYC and DC to be sure, or should we try to prevent it? If NY is nuked, the entire world economy will collapse overnight and for a very, very long time.
Take it easy. I don't really think he's stupid (just grossly ill-informed).
Great analysis! The parts can never be the whole and can only be respected as parts. The whole can never be understood by the parts.
Actually he's barely capable of speaking so he doesn't do it QUITE that often.
Just goes to show that being a Brit can detract from intellect.
condemned the U.S. led invasion of Iraq as a "war crime"
Hawking has as much bussiness commenting on foreign policy as I do on partical physics.
Keep your ignorance to yourself Steven - I'm weary of zotting people I have respect for.
Dear Stephen,
Stick to what you are good at - physics and cosmology. You are in over your head here.
B
He ought to just keep on making his stupid mistakes on his interpretation of the universe
Not really. He started typing this out on the day of the invasion back in 2003.
I've always said the intelligence and wisdom are 2 quite different things, and should never be confused with each other.
He's a physicist. If he were smart, he'd be a mathematician.
