The man knows he will die soon. And holds to the power of his mind and does not succumb to feel-good mysticism.

I honor him.

VALUES in reference to quantifiable variables exist.

VALUE as a qualitative concept is subjective. Even while being so, this subjectivity is based on mass consensus, dependent on human necessity and preference, and thus being the closest damn thing we have to interpersonal objectivity.

Sonja: Boris, Let me show you how absurd your position is. Let's say there is no God, and each man is free to do exactly as he chooses. What prevents you from murdering somebody?

Boris: Murder's immoral.

Sonja: Immorality is subjective.

Boris: Yes, but subjectivity is objective.

Sonja: Not in a rational scheme of perception.

Boris: Perception is irrational. It implies immanence.

Sonja: But judgment of any system or a priori relation of phenomena exists in any rational or metaphysical or at least epistemological contradiction to an abstracted empirical concept such as being or to be or to occur in the thing itself or of the thing itself.

Boris: Yeah, I've said that many times.

On his deathbed, Charles Darwin said: "How I wish I had not expressed my theory of evolution as I have done." He went on to say that he would like her to gather a congregation since he "would like to speak to them of Christ Jesus and His salvation, being in a state where he was eagerly savoring the heavenly anticipation of bliss." Lady Hope's story was printed in the Boston Watchman Examiner. The story spread, and the claims were republished as late as October 1955 in the Reformation Review and in the Monthly Record of the Free Church of Scotland in February 1957.

I'm kinda dumbstruck that I can't think of things. He's done a lot for our understanding of black holes, including hawking radiation (black holes can eventually evaporate).

He also figured out stuff involving the state of energy/matter in the first moments of the big bang.

I don't remember if he was the one that figured out the surface area of a black hole is proportional to its entropy and that black holes have a temperature.

Check the wiki I guess

Also, consider he can't even write. His 'speaking' takes forever, everything he does takes so long, and yet he is(was?) still able to do calculations and theories at the edges of known physics and be correct about it.

Imagine how much more quickly he could work if new stem cell research could give him mobility back, even if it was just his hands.

I don't think it was meant to be a troll, that is something Sarah Palin (I believe) actually said, along with some shit about how he was 'American'. Hawking was pretty pissed off and went over to the States to tell her to eat shit and that he would be dead without the NHS. While he was there Obama just gave him the presidential medal of honour because Hawking was just stylin' so hard.

That's how I remember it happening.

In 1981 there was a meeting of physicists to try and decode some of the mysteries about how particles of particular elemental compounds function. During this discussion Stephen Hawking stated that the information inside a black hole is lost forever as the black hole evaporates. It took 28 years for Leonard Susskind to formulate his theory that would prove Hawking wrong.

Hawking is a successful troll.
