So which one?

>> No.4601639

Carl Sagan.

Hawking is over 70, and his illness hasn't affected his mind thus far, so what's the point?

Both are pretty overrated and haven't contributed anything significant to science anyway.

Sagan, we need him to get more people interested in science. We need lots of good scientists more than one amazing one.

That's it people. Peak Retardedness is here. From this point on forward, human species can only get smarter and more educated, because it certainly can't top that.

Easy: Edward Witten.

I'd never try to argue that Hawking hasn't contributed anything, but the only thing I know about is Hawking radiation. That's probably just down to ignorance on my part, though.

you now realize stephen hawking is only good because nobody else has the time to sit down and start thinking up shit.

while people out there are working hard this useless piece of shit is sitting on that wheelchair thinking up shit. what's funny is how he says there's no afterlife like he's so sure of it
