Gravitymaster 0 #2 May 8, 2013 Why is a physicist's opinion on a social problem any more valid than anyone elses? Higher education does not make someone's opinion more right outside of their field of study as demonstrated here, daily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darius11 12 #3 May 8, 2013 Quote Why is a physicist's opinion on a social problem any more valid than anyone elses? He is this generations Einstein. I would think that he is better than most at analyzing information and finding truths. Simply put he is not an idiot that is why his opinion matters to me. I personally don’t care what stupid people think because they are usually wrong even if they are incapable of seeing it themselves. Plus like I said it just feels good when the smartest guy in the room reaches the same conclusion you did years ago. Quote Higher education does not make someone's opinion more right Your grasping to much man really that’s all he has is a higher education? so Stephen Hawking is no different to you than any Masters or PHD holder out there??? Sorry I can’t even take you seriously when you obviously have to avoid facts to even have an argument. Yes he is just like any, MD, pediatrician, and engineer nothing to see here just move along I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weekender 0 #5 May 8, 2013 an anti semitic prof is not news because it is the norm. show me a high profile educator who supports the State of Israel and i'd say that is news."The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird." John Frusciante Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yea that shows your rational, anyone who calls Israelis on their inhumane treatment of the Palestinians is a Jew hater. So most of the world just hates Jews And it has nothing to do with there actions, good to know.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #8 May 8, 2013 Stephen Hawking may be the smartest person in the world, but IINM, his main field of study is physics as well as science and the cosmos. Is that really going to affect what Israel does? I don't think so."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but to be a top physicist requires that you can analyze complex information and draw correct conclusions. Which is more than can be said for most politicians and just about all celebrities that make statements like this.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

First part of finding peace is justice you can’t hold on to illegally occupied land and expect peace. Translation - the Jews need to throw themselves into the sea and surrender the 'stolen' Israel. Then they can have peace...in death. Of course Amazon long ago destroyed this argument, pointing out all the stolen lands of Jews in nations surrounding Israel.

Thank you for supporting my statement. I can see once again that this sort of real world discussion is a bit too tall for a physicist like yourself. And Hawking.
