The stuff I omitted were simple things like:
B/c various speakers went over the time limit the speech was 20 minutes late
and
A man flew in on his private plane and he was worried he couldn't stay till the end of the lecture.
IOW, nothing relevant to the article

Interesting discussion.
But it couldn't be sustained for long after a few beers.

Laughter broke out though when Marshall introduced the Geroch/Wald factor, where the two professor at the University of Chicago had told Thorne that his wormhole idea wouldn't work because when the ship was within 10 light years of Earth that electromagnetic radiation traveling through the wormhole could make it collapse.Marshall pointed out that this would be impossible because the ship is supposed to fly out and back to Earth within a total elapsed time of 10 years, flying at a sub-light speed.
Either the article is written poorly or I just don't get it. Thorne was told that his idea wouldn't work because if the ship was within 10 light years of Earth the wormholes would collapse. So I'm imagining the Earth in the center of a 10 light year diameter sphere; within the sphere no wormholes exist. Marshall's comment about a ten year round trip at sub-light speed simply seems to re-inforce the Geroch/Wald objection to Thorne. Why did that evoke laughter?

"These mistakes form a pattern of hidden assumptions which may extend elsewhere in the science and technology community"Well, duh. And these 'hidden assumptions' are often colored by core beliefs. Nothing new in that.

I don't think Hawking will notice this refutation. Nowadays he's cutting loose at t@tty bars.

Assumptions, theory, what ever it is junk science unless there are proven facts to back it all up.
