RIP Stephen Hawking 1942-2018

Migrated topic.
SH, much homage. Very little doubt that he was entheogenically catalyzed, at least in early theorizing. Hawking, essentially established the reality of "black holes". Early 20th cent physicist, K Schwarzchild, contemporary of Einstein, wrote the math on BHs. Simply, a mass compactification, such that, it's escape velocity is GREATER than light speed. Hence, EM radiation and classical particle matter are precluded from "leaving" the immediate vicinity, described by the, Schwarzchild Radius. An information sink.

Hawking taught us that not only do BHs exist, they indeed inform our universe and lend the structure to galaxies and supra-galactic architecture. They behave as gravitational wardens throughout! Beyond that he plyed, establishing that non-classically, BHs would and do "evaporate", according to quantum rules that allow, NON LOCAL, matter commingling. All well predicted by Einsteinian Relativity.

Exceedingly difficult to overstate his contribution to the, physical/metaphysical, matrix of understanding that forces a blending of rational AND irrational to more completely apperceive our REALITY reference frame!!!

Peace
 
I met Steven Hawking once when i lived in Cambridge. His nurse/carer/wife was trying to manoeuvre his wheelchair up a curb onto the pavement and she was having a lot of trouble doing so. She was quite angry and shouting at him and i went to try and help them push it. She screamed at me to go away and leave them alone and he made a sort of angry gargling noise at me. I guess his speech synthesizer was disconnected. Which was was a shame as i would have proudly carried the memory of being told to to f++k off by Steven in his legendary mechanized cadence to the grave. I can't say that i really blame them as i was quite scruffy and dishevelled looking at that particular time in my life.

Can't believe that someone has managed to devolve an RIP thread into a "he's going to hell because he was an atheist" thread.
 
Can we please act a little more mature?

Dragonrider, I'm not sure what your original comment meant; can you explain?


Sorry to here he passed away. We all do someday which is very strange and grounding.


Also, I guess I just don't understand physics enough... I've always wondered how we haven't already been eaten up by a black hole... Can anyone explain that concisely? Or, I'm guessing, it would require alot of studying for me to understand.

I happened to put on discovery last night and a show, by Stephen apparently, was on, and they were explaining the idea of the "big crunch ", which would be Tue universe going in reverse back to a singularity i guess.. I think Stephen said he thinks that te universe would just keep expanding till it got cold everywhere...

Oh, i was just making the same stupid joke that cosmiclion just made: an atheist and one of the smartest people ever dies and goes to heaven, and all of the angels are like "bet you didn't saw thís coming, did you".
 
Rest in peace, Stephen Hawking. You will always be remembered as the voice of imminent illumination of human kind, holding the brightest torch of science.
 
EVERTHING plays out across a spectrum. The poles define each other and are indeed a unity(singularity>nod to SH). It is the "space between" that allows the unfoldment, physically and metaphysically. Fundamentalism, taken as literal truth, is by definition polar, exclusionary. In a very real sense, fundamentalism constitutes a delusional perspective on that which is TRANSPERSONAL and TRANSLINGUISTIC.

If anything, the psychedelic experience REMINDS us that humility is NOT optional!!
Embrace the uncertainty that is fundamental. To do otherwise identifies one as a self deluded, extremist. RIP, SH.

Peace

Good job.
May all of the removed posts forever burn in.....oh wait.
