He should get his brain frozen and have full documentation of his medical records stored in a safety deposit box.

David Dennett and Richard Dawkins are also around the same age. So I guess we just wait and see who dies first.

He did loads of work on black holes, most notably on
hawking radiation, and on their entropy.

>he's a pop sci figure

He only became a pop sci figure after being active in academia for twenty years and having been in one of the most prestigious posts at Cambridge for nearly ten. All you demonstrate by denigrating his credentials is your own ignorance and immaturity.

He did some shit in the 70's but nothing of note since then

>> No.6323427

He's actually an average physicist but he's famous because he's disabled.There's a lot better physicists out there.

This is why he hasn’t received a Nobel prize in physics yet (and probably never will).
