RIP Stephen Hawking (Video)
March 15, 2018
Theoretical physicist, cosmologist, Stephen Hawking has passed away. He was 76 years old. Widely recognized as one of the brightest minds of all time, Professor Hawking lived most his life with a rare form of motor neurone disease (diagnosed at the age of 22, given only a few years to live at the time) that limited his body to a wheelchair and his speech to a voice synthesizer. But his offerings to the world would still not be bound – including his theory on black holes emitting [eventually namesaked] “Hawking radiation” and his multimillion-copy selling book, “A Brief History Of Time.”
In the late 1990s, he was reportedly offered a knighthood…

Science: Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Take on Aliens And Why We Should Become A Multiplanetary Species (Video)
January 2, 2018
Worried about the possibility of aliens enslaving us based on the way WE (humans) have acted throughout history? You would not be alone. Great minds hold that opinion, too. Minds like Dr. Stephen Hawking (like many others) assume that any advanced culture would conquer one it finds inferior. Dr. Tyson respectfully (and optimistically) disagrees.
Neil deGrasse Tyson responds to Stephen Hawkings view on aliens. He also discusses artificial intelligence.

Great heady theoretical talk that we can all follow. Cool.

The Theory of Everything (Trailer)
August 14, 2014
Dr. Stephen Hawking. Theoretical physicist. Cosmologist. Director of Research at the Center for Theoretical Cosmology (of course). Now the all around enigmatic consult to humanity for most phenomena in the universe. But before he became more to the world, he was (and is) first a man, unto himself and beholden to a small circle of folks. This look at the history of Hawking (played by Eddie Redmayne) – then and now – is the world’s first.
And it looks to be a good look.
This trailer for “Theory of Everything” (above) reveals Hawking highlights in the movie – covering the meeting, wooing and wedding of his wife… his being diagnosed as having amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (popularly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease)… and his 40 years of life since. First screening will be the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2014; with a release date set for November 7, 2014, for the States.
