Would people still respect Stephen Hawking as a scientist if he didn't have a cool robot voice?

Personally I think he's milking it.

Fav science quotes itt:

"There's another world somewhere, but were? Who know's. We haven't finded it yet."

-Stephen Hawkings

You don't need a good back to study astrophysics

Stephen Hawking, who likes to dismiss questions about his IQ by saying, "People who boastabout their IQ are losers," and was a middling student and achiever until his mid-twenties.

read the sticky

It seems we have 2 groups of faggots here,

Those who think that a /homework/ board would magically transform /sci/ into in-depth scientific discovery threads and maybe even win a Nobel prize, or two.

And those who are just lazy to skip over an occasional "homework" thread and convinced that the homework posts prevent them from seeing the truly in-depth scientific discovery threads.

Both groups are faggots.

Just give up, OP. There's no way that you'll be able to succeed in a respectable field.

Why doesn't Stephen Hawking upgrade his speech simulation software?

How does this guy have sex?

I just started reading "a brief history of time" and being completely clueless about physics I have a problem already on page 9. Hawking says that due to Newtons law

a) the moon is circeling in an elliptic fashion around the earth

and

b) the stars which are close together should attract each other and crash. Because that's not happening, it was inferred that the universe is wider than the widest stars (fixstars). Why should the stars crash each other?

That might be some stupid questions but I really want to understand it :( Thanks in advance, /sci/

When asked about his IQ in an interview, this is how Stephen Hawking responded:
>I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers.
>People who boast about their IQ are losers.

>The second law of thermodynamics is only a statistic observation. It is not unbreakable as many scientists would suggest.

And of time itself.

Anything that happened before the big bang could not affect what happened after

You are in a library and this guy call your gf a dumbass. What do you do?

Keep in mind this guy this guy's dead and has an IQ of over 160

Because some of those cripples are pretty smart, bro.

>>atheists havent contributed much of anything to science, in fact.

Pic related. And 60% of scientists worldwide are atheists, with 93% of the most acclaimed being atheists.

STUDENT BODY COMPARISONS

Rose Goldsen, 1952
Percentage of students who believe in a divine god: Harvard 30; UCLA 32; Dartmouth 35; Yale 36; Cornell 42; Wayne 43; Weslyan 43; Michigan 45; Fisk 60; Texas 62; North Carolina 68.

National Review Study, 1970
Percentage of students who believe in a Spirit or Divine God: Reed 15; Brandeis 25; Sarah Lawrence 28; Williams 36; Stanford 41; Boston U. 41; Yale 42; Howard 47; Indiana 57; Davidson 59; S. Carolina 65; Marquette 77.

Caplovitz and Sherrow, 1977
Apostasy rates rose continuously from 5 percent in "low" ranked schools to 17 percent in "high" ranked schools.

Niemi, Ross, and Alexander, 1978
In elite schools, organized religion was judged important by only 26 percent of their students, compared with 44 percent of all students.

STUDIES OF VERY-HIGH IQ GROUPS

Terman, 1959
Studied group with IQ's over 140. Of men, 10 percent held strong religious belief, of women 18 percent. Sixty-two percent of men and 57 percent of women claimed "little religious inclination" while 28 percent of the men and 23 percent of the women claimed it was "not at all important."

Warren and Heist, 1960
Found no differences among National Merit Scholars. Results may have been effected by the fact that NM scholars are not selected on the basis of intelligence or grades alone, but also on "leadership" and such like.

Southern and Plant, 1968
Studied 42 male and 30 female members of Mensa. Mensa members were much less religious in belief than the typical American college alumnus or adult.

>When I hear about Schroedinger's cat, I reach for my gun.

Why, who is he going to shoot? The questioner, the cat, himself!?

If Stephen King is so smart, why doesn't he cure himself?

derp I'm stupid because I'm ugly and depressed

>pic related its me

No seriously you can only reach your potential and that's it. You can't miraculously become smarter.

Why are geniuses such assholes?

If I didn't know who he was, I would think he was fucking retarded.
