Wow.thanks for that link. Here's a small part of the article that everyone needs to read

"Hawking is both victim of the infantile mass-media that made him a God to sell his books. The truth is that like in the last film of Peter sellers ‘Being there’, he is a new Mr. Chance taken as a genius by an ignorant crowd. He learned at 8 to read; he was a mediocre student at school; he is not in any professional list of the top scientists of the century – always topped by Einstein, knows his work is science fiction, written 40 years ago, in an age of loonies, drugs and fantasies of all kind – so his travel on time was very trendy; but he will risk it all, his life, as an ego-centered child cares nothing for the rest. His life anyway with mental neuronal atrophy is not that great. So he repeats in his conference his obsession, ‘the nobel prize’ ‘i might get a nobel prize is black holes evaporate at cern’. If not you will become spaghetti. He doesnt lie. Teller didnt lie eitehr. That is the messianic madness of the nuclear physicist."


This deserves its own thread. Looks like 2015 may be the endgame
