If you're bored and have a lot of time, I just watched this in 720p  yesterday and it was pretty interesting shit.

Yes, I geek out to this shit.

good find

"The Story of Everything" was my favorite of the three.  The other two repeat a lot of the same thing I've heard before, but it was nice to see it demonstrated with video and broken down into analogies even a caveman could probably grasp.  Fortunately, Hawking doesn't narrate it.

Stephen Hawking is still my favorite Physicist still alive.  ;D :yes:

I wish I had his mental math skills. 

[t_cel_t]

but i thought the earth was only 6000 years old???

It's not because your mother looks 6000 years old that the earth is that old too!

I like the Michio Kaku vids.

I havent watched the story of everything yet. Thanks for the link

[random-strike]

he should call it "my theory about everything i change every 5 years"

and put it in huge colorful letters some backwards with a smilie face

[92CXyD]

I still watch Carl Sagen's Cosmos and enjoy it.  ;D

"The Greatest Mind since Einstein"

Richard Feynman

at least he can admit when hes wrong, unlike every politician

I know right.

I can't believe people change opinions as more information becomes available.

If you don't get it right the first time, quit trying!

[HiProfile]

If you were told to describe a painting from a mile away, then next year describe it from a yard away, do you think both descriptions would be absolutely the same? A micro example is the world we see - it's always a snapshot of the past, albeit only a billionth of a fraction previous. Once the light hit's our eyes, those atoms have already "vibrated" away from that exact spot.

That's how this guy forms his ideas. We start the day listening to the latest gang-related shooting, he starts the day listening to someone describing how they figured out one particular sub-atomic particle acts differently when exposed to X amounts of gamma radiation at 1/2 earth gravity while 2* above absolute zero.



I can give him a break because I've never had an idea that I didn't stop adding to. Most of the time, when I get to the point of puting a plan in action, more parts of it have changed than remain original.

its not that, but everyone takes anything he says as fact or almost fact. its all theories. almost always wrong

Really? your going to say he's wrong? Until he proves himself wrong you can sit back and take what he says for fact, as i sure as shit have no idea what he's talking about at all. and the chance you do is fucking slim to none.

Dont fuel the fire on this...keep Jonny (coolest guy ever) in his place on the forum (political threads, and chevy v8s)

[Jorsher]

Everyone takes a 2000+ year old book written by idiots in a desert as "100% fact."

I like HiProfile's example.

His ideas are theories.  He's not passing them off as truth, and says himself we are just beginning to find the "truth" and may never find the complete truth.  A lot of what he talks about isn't provable yet, and may never be, but they shouldn't be disregarded.  He IS a quantum physicist and there is a lot of factual information he bases his theories on.  People take these theories and expand on them, and so does he which is why his ideas change.

There's nothing wrong with being wrong when you're willing to accept and change your view as more information becomes available.  There IS something wrong with saying something is wrong without providing proof of why.  A good example is the whole "earth is flat" theory that existed for... centuries?  He should continue with his "incorrect" theories because they are more logical and factual than anyone here and most of the world could come up with, and they offer a foundation for others to continue theorizing from.  Figuring shit out is a process, and creating a theory based on the limited clues you have gives a direction of where to look for the next clue.

He admits the obvious, that we are only barely beginning to understand these things, and he restructures his theories when necessary.  If people take it as truth, that's their own problem, and I don't see how it makes him someone that should be disregarded?

I have to ask, what has he said that's been proven wrong?  By no means am I suggesting he's right about everything as it'd be pretty retarded to believe he was (I'm sure he'd say the same), but yeah...  I'd personally put the most trust in the theory by a quantum physicist that's been supported by peers around the world over anything anyone here or anyone else I know could come up with...

[Urban Indian]

shit is interesting

makes me almost want to learn more about it

[Robb]

Hawking blatantly ignored the opinions of his peers for quite some time, then changed his mind, published a book, and got rich off the ideas/theories of others without acknowledgment of them or their thoughts. Thats called a thief in my book, sir.

They should have wrote a book

I don't know what to say about this guy, smart yes, useful?... Not seeing it. I'll bet he never finds the orgin of time or life. And thus, wasting a ton of time. (Pun intended?)

Do you really think he has anything better to do?

Lol.
Maybe trying to create perpetual motion
My friend built that swing out laptop support he has on his chair.

I find myself trying to figure out how I would hide nitrous on that thing, lol.

[mrgreengenes]

^^^^^  in the wheelchair tube frame, seal that bitch, and put a valve and nozzle assembly on it

NAAAAAAAAWZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I still watch Carl Sagen's Cosmos and enjoy it.  ;D

x2. probably one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century.
