Stephen W. Hawking

So, school me what did this guy do that was significant?


Then I will try you who I really thought he was,you will really laugh.

 

Except it's all theoretical so who the hell knows? He could have been the best bullshitter in history, he looked convincing in an oracle kind of way stuck in a wheel chair and not being able to talk, etc.

 

Don't

Don't watch a lot of tv and haven't seen a complete episode of Futurama ever.

So, you wanna guess who I thought he was at first when I seen his pic today.

 

Never watch a show.


I really thought at first,he was the dude that feel off the horse and got a neck injury that put him in a wheel chair. Hell,I cant even think of his name right now either.

 

Willy Shoemaker?

Edit: Oops, bad guess.

 

RIP. Seemed like a pretty fun and good natured guy despite his condition. From that article, he apparently used to run over the toes of anyone who annoyed him and liked tig ol’ bitties in his face even if he couldn’t motorboat them properly. His greatest regret was not running over Margaret Thatcher’s toes.

As to his work, how the hell do we even know the applicability of it? It’ll be decades before it becomes practically useful. Relativity didn’t have a practical application for decades. Then we built GPS and everyone on the planet has a device that has to use relativistic calculations to work properly. I’m sure Hawking’s work already has some practical applications. Probably in the field of something involving quantum mechanics such as communications, sensor technology etc. A Soviet physicist developed the mathematical basis for stealth technology 40 years before the US used it to build weapons systems. Just because we don’t understand the research or it hasn’t been used yet doesn’t mean it isn’t important. In 100 years when the AIs have murderized mankind they’ll probably be using Hawking’s theories in everyday life.

How many people even know the contemporary practical uses of relativity? Bet if you asked the average person they’d say it has no practical use.

 

Yea, that's it.

That's who I honestly Thought it was.

 

Yah know if he would have died just a few days earlier he could have ridden in Musk's car to space

 

He led his people, the Kaleds, to final victory in the thousand year war over the Thals.

 

You expect this guy to know who Albert Einstein is after this revelation? Lol

 

You suck.
You forgot The Big Bang Theory.

 

Big bang theory is the only TV show I've seen him in. WTF is futurama anyway, sounds like some superhero cartoon?

 

And Peg Bundy with 3 big ones.
