Why is it that Mr T feels compelled to commemorate virtually every national holiday or current event?
 
And the big bang... where did the matter come from? Never answered that sufficiently.
So sorry he didn't satisfy you with his answers. Probably because it's a bloody difficult problem to solve.
The answer is that it came from the energy that was in the big bang. So the bigger question is, where did the energy come from?

I think it is prolly a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation
Some find fault on either end of the spectrum... "why did he recognize this or that?" or "why did he ignore this or that?"
Apparently he has opted to recognize things and comment rather than to not

Welcome to 2018 where those who speak truth are shamed by those who don't

Just a thought. Define a Truth please. Your perception of Truth, maybe. The best defense in a trial, a witness. They get it wrong almost all the time. The truth right in front of their eyes. The mind changes the truth because of their biases and life experiences. Significant reason we have so much trouble getting along, defining Truth. What is truth, ones perception.
 
Yes, I know. He says "nothing" was around. That is exactly what I'm talking about. Absolutely no way he can know that. And the big bang... where did the matter come from? Never answered that sufficiently. He also said we have 100 years left on this Earth (99 years as of 2018). We'll see about that. It's so easy to claim these things under a shroud of mathematical jargon and the appearance of genius, especially when there is no way to prove the theory.

q.v. "Scientific Method"
 
What will The Big Bang Theory do now? Does this mean we will be getting more guest appearances by Will Wheaton...

Its Truly unfortunate and pathetic almost this entire thread is full of frivolous debacle/snark “Apple” comments and disrespect to a man with his achievements and others can’t seem to respect that who are making disparaging comments over nothing.

Agreed, I don’t understand why we can’t celebrate the mans achievements without it being highjacked by the religious or Apple haters! Brilliant guy who achieved so much!
 
As a kid growing up, seeing this guy in Star Trek the next generation was awesome - this guy is a hero to my wife. We watched that movie that came out in 2014 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2980516/) - The Theory of Everything about him as well. I have his books on my to do list to read someday - picked up a few of them at old book stores / garage sales. Outside of that, I know very little of Hawkings and his work.

Really sad to see how this thread is turning out :(.
