LONDON (AP) — Stephen Hawking understands the workings of the universe — but says he cannot fathom the popularity of Donald Trump.

The British astrophysicist told ITV's morning show Monday that the presumptive Republican Party candidate for U.S. president "is a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator."

Hawking also appealed to British voters to vote to keep the United Kingdom inside the European Union in a June 23 referendum. He said remaining within the EU provided essential support for British scientific research as well as its economy and security.

He said: "Gone are the days we could stand on our own against the world. We need to be part of a larger group of nations, both for our security and our trade."


WoW! Even Hawking is baffled by the "Trump Black Hole."

You gave as the definition a misleadingly truncated version of the secondary definition. There we go indeed.

Theories with no applications are not accomplishments,

By your shabby 'logic' all of quantum chromodynamics, for example, contains no accomplishments.

especially when they have been refuted.

published last week on arXiv, says: “there are no black holes”- SCIENCE & TECH 27 JANUARY 2014

Not a refutation, boob: "peers have yet to have a go at assessing his idea".

He refuted himself.

Still wrong, boob - he offered a hypothesis with only the supporting argument that it resolved an apparent paradox in a way arguably more satisfying than other proposed resolutions. And if later science shows earlier science to be incorrect, the earlier science remains no less an accomplishment, cf. Isaac Newton.

His fame rests on that incorrect "science" (empty theorizing), which he now refutes.

The primary purpose of life for all is to survive. When conditions change, all of life modifies itself to adjust to the conditions. In its most simple state, that is all there is about evolution.

Don't you learn to adapt the world around yourself?

What is the essence of life? Mud isn't life, so we can rule out your silly question. An example of a one celled animal is an amoeba. It survives and adjusts to the world around itself, so yes, it can evolve.

Life on Earth first bloomed around 3.7 billion years ago, when chemical compounds in a "primordial soup" somehow sparked into life, scientists suspect. But what turned sterile molecules into living, changing organisms? That's the ultimate mystery. - See more at: http://www.livescience.com/18565- life-building-blocks-chemical-evolution.html#sthash.IIf7Duuo.dpuf

There is speculation that the "beginning" was based on high energy particles bombarding certain chemical compounds creating DNA. It hasn't been reproduced by man yet.

I don't believe that happened. Is not what we witness in the real world.

In the real world things don't change into different things. They reproduce after like kind. Just like the Bible says they do.

When you plant an apple tree. You don't worry that it might change into a cocomadoo tree. You can be certain it will be an apple tree.

When two skunks mate. You can be assured it will produce a skunk. Not a Toadalawrench. Evolution is a fairy tale. People who believe in it are deluded.

Sure we adapt and learn new things. But that isn't changing into something entirely different.
