Is Stephen Hawking the only one to use the voice that he uses?

Physics chicks, huh.

It's amusing (to me), to say "ay-curumba" in Hawkings vox to that picture.

"jus' chillin"

So not gonna hap...oh never mind.

jel has made that picture even more awesome for me

iFightMidgits

Stephen Hawking's religious views and mine clash in that Stephen Hawking does not fight Midgits.

"intellectuals"

all the more stinging cos he can't even do the sarcastic "" hand thing himself

Stephen Hawking says God doesn't exist and that heaven is a 'fairy tale'. Boy, Is he gonna be surprised soon !

After he dies, God's gonna send him straight to heaven, just to show him how wrong he was. Yay! That'll show him.

can god 'send' hawking anywhere after? P sure good physicists outrank him tbh?

Nah, the physicists are too keen on getting their reward(s) here on earth...

I did see that the news story described him as "the Terminally Ill Stephen Hawking", like he has his date or something...

"I call it a Hawking Hole"

Watch out Hawking, Cameron's Weighing in now

http://www.videogum.com/306101/kirk-cameron-vs-stephen-hawking-war-of-the-brainiacs/where-are-they-now/

“Professor Hawking is heralded as ‘the genius of Britain,’ yet he believes in the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything and that life sprang from non-life.”

He adds, “Why should anyone believe Mr. Hawking’s writings if he cannot provide evidence for his unscientific belief that out of nothing, everything came?”… “(Hawking) says he knows there is no Heaven. John Lennon wasn’t sure. He said to pretend there’s no Heaven. That’s easy if you try. Then he said he hoped that someday we would join him. Such wishful thinking reveals John and Stephen’s religious beliefs, not good science.”

...the scientific impossibility... that life sprang from non-life.

Do tell us more about this scientific impossibility, good sir. We hang on your lips.

you have to wait til the end, tbh

still back on "iFightMidgits"

“(Hawking) says he knows there is no Heaven. John Lennon wasn’t sure. He said to pretend there’s no Heaven. That’s easy if you try. Then he said he hoped that someday we would join him. Such wishful thinking reveals John and Stephen’s religious beliefs, not good science.”

Yeah, but John wasn't dead when he wrote that. So he wasn't saying "I hope you'll join me in Heaven", more "I hope you'll join me for a cuppa tea" if anything. (Not coffee, he didn't share that stuff unless you were a great pal of his)

holy lol @ Kirk Cameron

thoughtful response from Nicholas T. Wright on the subject: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-faith/post/stephen-hawking-what-he-doesnt-understand-about-heaven/2011/05/16/AFrHg64G_blog.html

As for the creation being self-caused: I wonder if he realises that he is simply repeating a version of ancient Epicureanism? i.e. the gods are out of the picture, a long way away, so the world/human life/etc has to get on under its own steam. This is hardly a ‘conclusion’ from his study of the evidence; it’s simply a well known worldview shared by most post-Enlightenment westerners. It is the worldview which enables secular democracy to consider itself an absolute, despite its numerous and rather obvious failings right now. The depressing thing is that Hawking doesn’t seem to realize this and so hasn’t even stopped to think that there might be quite sophisticated critiques of Epicureanism, ancient and modern, which he should work through.

99.9% of people I have met IRL who think they are going to Heaven when they die don't give a shit about Epicureanism

Epicureans were pretty much apolitical. That paragraph makes my brain go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHGHGHGH!!! The author claims that Hawking is ignorant of Epicureanism while at the same time demonstrating that he himself is also ignorant of Epicureanism.

xpost do you actually ask them his? "Where are you going after you die?" and "Would you like some Epicureanism?"

BOOM ROASTED

he seems like a good version of Davros

so this happened

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36687631?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook

This needs quoting in full:

A US woman has been given a suspended four-month jail sentence in Spain for threatening to kill British physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking.

The 37-year-old has also been banned from approaching to within 500m of the scientist or communicating with him on social media for eight months.

The woman was arrested in a hotel in Tenerife, close to where Prof Hawking was attending a conference.

She had stalked him on social media before following him to the island.

RIP Stephen Hawking :(

such sad news, rip

rip hawking

it is quite amazing how much he accomplished despite his illness and difficulties he endured because of it

76. Man that was a hell of a run by any standard. Quite a life.

23, make that (1965)

Wow. Stephen Hawking went out on pi day. Respect.

The fuck he did it’s 14/3/18 (he said lovingly)

"cosmology's brightest star"

Um, while deriving the eventual evaporation of black holes [some 40+ years ago](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=sw+hawking) was important, I'm not sure about this. He was important for a lot of reasons, but we shouldn't be under the illusion that he was a driving force in the field.

Also, step to MC Hawking:

he loved strippers too

i love that young photo of him!

while deriving the eventual evaporation of black holes

and creating the field of black hole thermodynamics. if and when quantum gravity is “figured out” it will rest on this foundation, no?

personally i am never happy with science popularizers but that aside i thought he was too pessimistic

as someone who brought "A Brief History of Time" to high school to read during/in between classes (and later "Universe in a Nut Shell" in college) i have to say Hawking was brilliant not just for his theoretical physics but his sense of humor and plain-spokeness. i never got a whiff of bitterness or insecurity from his stuff, never saw his pop work getting dragged down by academia or culture wars. he really had a gift for writing in a popular voice in a way that really got on that level, rather than looking down on it.

RIP Hawking, on that great holodeck in the sky

Hawking was in the news a couple times in the last few months with his Doomsday predictions. I couldn't help but think that he was dying and those predictions (which seemed exaggerated) were a last ditch effort to rally the masses.

he was relentlessly otm to the end

cyborg advocates for machine supremacy

My spouse is an astronomer and we have another astronomer houseguest right now visiting for a conference. Both spent a couple of years in Cambridge. I told them both last night that Hawking died, expecting some type of small emotional reaction. Nope! So stoic, he had a good long life.

My nonverbal son uses a speech device (Proloquo) that lets you choose voices.

In the future, there will likely be technology that will let him synthesize a voice that is his own actual voice (based on the timbre of how he vocalizes.

We keep him on a generic young boy, but I do sometimes wish that it could do a Hawking voice. Or a movie pirate. Arr!

Celebrate the Hawking! A great man! Cheers and happy journeys!
