Is there really any god damn reason why Steven Hawking is as famous and renowned as he is other than being a cripple that's smart?

Why is Hawking's name tag upside down?

Is it so that he doesn't forget his own name or something? It's not like the people on board won't know who he is.

>> No.1474169

He's a pretty good physicist.Not the best though.
BUT what staggers most peoples attention to him IS because he's crippled. He was estimeted to die when he was 22, now he's in his 60s or something... and the fact that he trained his brian to work, so he doesn't need to write notes etc...

It's because he was a character on The Simpsons once.

Yes. He's a retard, don't you see? Without the name tag he might call himself potato or something.

As a proof to himself. I mean, would you believe you were Steven Hawking if you were him?

If not because it's related to the topic, watch it simply because it has Lawrence Krauss in <3
