Stephen Hawking dead at 76

  1. It's true, he was not a publishing climate scientist. But none of those deny man made global warming.

  2. --------
    From 2009,
    Stephen Hawking both British and not dead


    In perhaps the most amusing effort to discredit US President Barack Obama's plan for nationalized health care - if not the most ridiculous - US financial newspaper Investor's Business Daily has said that if Stephen Hawking were British, he would be dead.

    "The controlling of medical costs in countries such as Britain through rationing, and the health consequences thereof, are legendary," read a recent editorial from the paper. "The stories of people dying on a waiting list or being denied altogether read like a horror script...

    "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the UK, where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."

    The paper has since been notified that Hawking is both British and still among the living. And it has edited the editorial, acknowledging that the original version incorrectly represented the whereabouts of perhaps the world's most famous scientific mind. But it has not acknowledged that its mention of Hawking misrepresented the NHS as well.

    "I wouldn’t be here today if it were not for the NHS," Hawking told The Guardian. "I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived."

    The best you can say about Investor's Business Daily is that unlike US radio talk host Rush Limbaugh, it has not compared Obama's health care logo to a swastika.

    He held the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics, the same chair held by Newton. They don't just bestow that on anyone.

    His most powerful assertion, for me, is that black holes leak particles via Hawking Radiation.

    Hawking managed to change the world. Its like losing Richard Feynman. They cannot be replaced.

  4. I think he's overrated. I believe if not for his condition, the average Joe would've never heard of him.

    I doubt you comprehend his work nor appreciate math or physics at any level. No doubt a tradesman would think Hawking was overrated.

    So you are saying that the physicist couldn't make out real from fake science because he was not published in the field and hence his views don't count? So let me give you a peer reviewed study of climatologist survey on climate change but even that's bad ? So whose view on this scientific subject will you accept exactly?

    And of course, when a Con loses an argument, he starts bitching about shills and trolls. Nobody asked you to reply to me if you think I am a troll, brain dead inbred Cons always crying when they have no arguments. Put me on ignore, you think I give a fuck about brain dead low IQ Republicans wasting my time with moronic arguments every time.



    You are the one bullshitting, just because your favorite right wing cesspools doesn't publish anything outside of conspiracies, doesn't mean reality doesn't exist.

    Stephen Hawking Dies at 76; Was Outspoken Supporter of Climate Change Action in Recent Years

    Go back to reading American Thinker and taking some Liberty University graduate's opinion on science.

    Your such a lying piece of shit. Never once did I say anything about Hawking's opinions or statements regarding climate change.

    Hawking was a theoretical physicist, he is most noted for his work dealing with blackholes, gravational singularities and such.

    But according to you all his work in the field of general relativity and quantum mechanics mean nothing
    because his "greatest pitch" was climate change.

    Really? I imagine Hawking would be happy with your low regard for his lifetime of work. So save your liberal spin for your shit brained libtard buddies, they seem to buy the crap you pedal.

    If you don't like getting called out when you post out your ass go find a different forum, a safe space, your mommies basement, I could care less. I'll post whatever I feel like.

    Of course you didn't, your attack was an ad hominem, you couldn't possibly attack Hawking with your credentials so you resort to personal attacks against someone who bought it up.

    And what the fuck did I lie about? I don't need lectures from Trump supporters on lying.

    No you idiot, ACCORDING TO HAWKING, his greatest pitch was on climate change - I linked to an article backing it up.

    Here is another

    http://metro.co.uk/2017/11/07/earth...f-fire-by-2600-stephen-hawking-warns-7060683/

    He warned against AI but even that he doesn't see it as existentialist danger like climate change.

    I didn't say his greatest WORK was on climate change, do you even know what a PITCH is?

    Give me a break, he was a liberal, most scientists are liberal. I don't need lectures from low IQ Alabama inbreds lecturing me on science. Your leader ran a scam university pitching real estate seminars that he paid 25 million in court settlements for, what the fuck do you know about science dumb Con. Can you even name any great conservative scientists, other than Tom B who got his Ph.D from Trump University.

    And speaking of safe spaces, you guys keep trying to get me banned begging Baron to do it, no dissenting opinions are allowed on any of the pro Trump forums, Breitfart bans anyone who won't swallow the official WH spunk, what the fuck do you know about safe spaces. Keep projecting.

    You fucking Neanderthal, From your posts.

    Hawking's own thoughts; "I think my greatest achievement, will be my discovery that black holes are not entirely black."

    Hawking commented on many things, yes climate change was one and he was outspoken on its perceived dangers. But that is not what he is most noted for nor his greatest pitch.

    Stop the bullshit.

    You are a prime example of a Australopithecus

    Where the fuck did I say climate change was Hawking's greatest ACHIEVEMENT.

    Go ahead and quote me you inbred hick who can't even read.


    I said his greatest PITCH was on climate change, he repeatedly warned of the impending danger, nowhere did I say his work or achievements were about climate change.

    Follow your own advice, stop peddling bullshit because the education system failed you and you can't even comprehend basic sentences.
