Stephen Hawking: The Greatest Scientist of Our Time 

Good to see you addressed it, i was gonna comment a quip xD

Actually would make sense that he was 100 years ahead of anyone else when his body was the one of a 150 year old.

How long have been on the internet people take the most dumbest shit seriously

cpt nordbart a bittersweet comment, because it seems so much like it.

Biographics Don't let it bother you. Great job, guys.

Well ok then

Decided to live for 40+ years

God: "No".

@@miketheyunggod2534Lol the same god that gave one of the smartest humans ever ALS. Sureeeee.

If I had MND, I would want to die in 2 years, honestly. Life isn’t worth it, if I can’t even wipe my own ass. Hawking was disabled because he denied God in front of the entire world. Cause and effect

Frankly I see the hubristic over-confidence of MD's, but yeah.

wtf does him living have to do with being classed as a great scientist?

So sad he's not in heaven though 😥

I as well was born Jan 8th. Did not know that's also the anniversary of Galileo's death.

It was also rather apropos that a mathematician would die on March, 14th (3/14). Pie Day.

He can time travel

Bet you find astrology interesting too :P

Take solace in the fact that he lived - in Roman times, they would have killed him as soon as they detected an abnormality.

I mean, he beat all the odds to become a genius

Laz Toth shut up

I think, he is inspiring for many disabled people, but not only for them. He showed us, what the mind and determination can achieve, against all odds.

G o d savage

StarCoinHero how is that savage? He said shut up, literally a kid

Amen

Why do you mention the illness? > commanded enormous respect and that had nothing to do with his illness

Because of some of the comments trying to attribute his public status predominantly to his medical condition

sorry, I'm not sure, didn't Lenord Suskin disprove the theory that Hawking was most famous for, namely that information is destroyed by Hawking radiation, that lead to the Holographic Universe theory?

Firstly, couple of things to separate. Hawking's proof for the information loss in black holes is mathematically perfect and there are no flaws in his argument. Rather what it points to/indicates is missing physics, i.e. General Relativity cannot be a fundamental theory of gravity because it is not compatible with quantum evolution principles (something Hawking was initially skeptical of accepting). Following his tour-de-force calculation that unified quantm field theory, general relativity and thermodynamics, Hawking's great insight was to realise that Black Holes must have a finite temperature. and therefore they must emit radiation (Hawking radiation). This is an undisputed claim and one can show that if this is the case, then the black hole must evaporate eventually. But this is inexplicable from a quantum mechanical point of view for technical reasons I can't explain right now (it has to do with entangled particles). Juan Maldacena, I believe in the 90s, saw a way out of this (not by actually solving the problem but instead by showing that this problem must be in principle solvable) by the ADS/CFT conjecture (the holography principle) - which proved that there must be other ways of recovering the information. But Susskind and Maldacena haven't actually solved the problem. They've just made a very convincing case for the hypothesis that information is conserved. But how exactly it's conserved for a black hole is still an open problem in physics (one in which a lot of progress has been made recently).

I haven't made it to the second paragraph yet, but doesn't Hawking radiation refer to the quantum fluctuations that create a particle and anti-particle on the edge of the event horizon, a quantum fluctuation that causes the black hole to lose mass. I don't believe that the mass loss has anything to do with heat loss as the heat would just be recaputered by the black hole.

Agreed. I love history and it's nice to get a basic understanding of a topic; albeit in a cliffsnotes fashion.

They are great.. but i doubt God will reply to your comment.. sorry

@@mrastronomer2268 yea, stephen hawking isn’t alive anymore

Hawking accomplished almost nothing.

meh

It should be an inspiration for us to try our best even under the worst conditions presented outwardly.

The body must obey the will of the mind. If one can do this than nothing is impossible. Of course not a very easy thing to do

In fact, he proved his doctors wrong and reached a normal age. :-)

Poor guy! Nobody deserves this horrible disease! I wish someone could have helped him... 😢

He actually just had a unique for of motor neurone disease which was very slow progressing

That does sound potentially awesome

Interestingly, interesting interests interest her....

@@vytrva I agree with the " interesting interests interest her" part of your interesting comment but not with the initial interestingly part. Interestingly, to me anyway, that part was subjective as some ppl might not find the fact that interesting interests interest her interesting.

@@bigsouth010 you're disgusting

He won't of found anything now he's dead

Taylor Whisnsnt he surely found his answer in hell.

Dah Poe which hell? And so many gods to choose from too. If you can prove that your favourite mythological being is real and that all the many other gods are imaginary and only based on faith, you’ll be more famous than, Hawkings.

@@dahpoe3611 you really are a nasty bit of work aren't you.

​@@ClannCholmain4 years late but according to Stephen's beliefs he can't find answers now he is dead.

Davide Busato wooooowe big brain Reddit moment epic

Joel Deakin ..A truly brave man...Born exactly one month before me....A genius that is for sure..R.I.P. Prof.

He has specifically requested this to be impossible.

Legend for liking your own comment.

No do the great Milan Pavlovic next.

Evo i ja sam ti lajkovao tvoj komentar.

Liking your own comment in public? Sicko lol

No he didnt

dude hi imagine being told ur body would stop working and everything your working towards would b for nothing, that’s a huge reason to

Yeah and then we have morons who whine about being raped, getting divorced, losing all their money and have their parents die. That is nothing compared to this.

@@mism847 Am I missing a really edgy joke?

@@dudehi3317 I mean the guy was literally told that he was going to die in a few years and that there was nothing he could do to prevent his body from dying

So we been going on with life and everything that’s known about the planet is based off of a man’s theory .

It deserves soooo much more. I can watch it for hours and not get bored.

spammer!

Carl Sagan is in the queue.

Have you seen The theory of Everithing?

Mads Veland you mean “chosen” instead of children right?

Jory Jones I think they are Stephen biological children

Look up "Stephen Hawking voice before illness" and there you go. I realize this may be a bit late (as your post was 5 months ago according to RU-vid) but of it's still of interest, I hope it helps.
