Why do you worship this man?

The only reason he achieved fame and notoriety was due to his exceptional IQ which was the result of pure genetic luck, a Deterministic fluke. His so called 'theories' were not his own as they were not the result of his own free will.

If indeed we do live in a Deterministic universe, as many of you people arrogantly surmise, then this man was no more deserving of adulation than a deformed foetus left rotting in a gutter in a 3rd word hellhole.

Explain yourselves.

Seeing the universum as deterministic is usually useless in normal human life. Our knowledge is so limited that we can never come close to actually determining most stuff. Seeing the world as a random mystery would be more accurate. His work should be seen more as a win at the lottery than the output from a machine or function that we understand.
Also celebrating successful people gives them incentives to do it. Peoples motivations vary but getting liked or compensation or such is usually what gets people to actually accomplish stuff.

People trying to look smart are the ones who don't know what Hawking did yet worship him flamboyantly. Much like the ones worshipping Bill Nye the engineer guy or Tyson le science black man, although Hawkins was a bit less of a fraud.

After reading this thread, I feel completely disappointed of /sci/, I don't know what the hell I'm doing in 4chan, this page isn't worth it.

One of the most difficult things in current physics, and a bigger task, is to unite quantum mechanics and relativity; What makes this extremely difficult is gravity, the most difficult force to understand of all, due to how weak it is, it doesn't act at a quantum level and it is very difficult to detect.

Hawkings was the first of all to unite quantum mechanics and relativity, to open the first door to begin this difficult task possible, with the Hawkings Equation, which showed that black holes emit radiation, product of the interaction of the horizon of events and the quantum void.
