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."LONDON (AP) — Stephen Hawking understands the workings of the universe — but says he cannot fathom the popularity of Donald Trump.
WoW! Even Hawking is baffled by the "Trump Black Hole."

Hawking has no accomplishments save celebrity.
'In his work, and in collaboration with Penrose, Hawking extended the singularity theorem concepts first explored in his doctoral thesis. This included not only the existence of singularities but also the theory that the universe might have started as a singularity. Their joint essay was the runner-up in the 1968 Gravity Research Foundation competition.[155][156] In 1970 they published a proof that if the universe obeys the general theory of relativity and fits any of the models of physical cosmology developed by Alexander Friedmann, then it must have begun as a singularity.[157][158] [159] In 1969, Hawking accepted a specially created Fellowship for Distinction in Science to remain at Caius.[160] 'In 1970, Hawking postulated what became known as the second law of black hole dynamics, that the event horizon of a black hole can never get smaller. [161] With James M. Bardeen and Brandon Carter, he proposed the four laws of black hole mechanics, drawing an analogy with thermodynamics.[162] To Hawking's irritation, Jacob Bekenstein, a graduate student of John Wheeler, went further—and ultimately correctly—to apply thermodynamic concepts literally.[163][164] In the early 1970s, Hawking's work with Carter, Werner Israel and David C. Robinson strongly supported Wheeler's no-hair theorem that no matter what the original material from which a black hole is created it can be completely described by the properties of mass, electrical charge and rotation.[165][166] His essay titled "Black Holes" won the Gravity Research Foundation Award in January 1971.[167] Hawking's first book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, written with George Ellis, was published in 1973.[168] 'Beginning in 1973, Hawking moved into the study of quantum gravity and quantum mechanics.[169][168] His work in this area was spurred by a visit to Moscow and discussions with Yakov Borisovich Zel'dovich and Alexei Starobinsky, whose work showed that according to the uncertainty principle rotating black holes emit particles.[170] To Hawking's annoyance, his much- checked calculations produced findings that contradicted his second law, which claimed black holes could never get smaller,[171] and supported Bekenstein's reasoning about their entropy.[172][170] His results, which Hawking presented from 1974, showed that black holes emit radiation, known today as Hawking radiation, which may continue until they exhaust their energy and evaporate.[173][174][175] Initially, Hawking radiation was controversial. However, by the late 1970s and following the publication of further research, the discovery was widely accepted as a significant breakthrough in theoretical physics.[176][177][178] Hawking was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1974, a few weeks after the announcement of Hawking radiation. At the time, he was one of the youngest scientists to become a Fellow.[179][180]' - https://en.wikip edia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking#Career
Theories with no applications are not accomplishments, especially when they have been refuted.
By your shabby 'logic' all of quantum chromodynamics, for example, contains no accomplishments. Not a refutation, boob: "peers have yet to have a go at assessing his idea".
His being Hawking's. He refuted himself. Bwahahaha!
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. Therefore, you want people to support Hillary. Or Epstein. Or that naked sicko who was prancing about at the Libertine convention.
No, theorizing backed by rigorous calculation. Wrong no matter how often you repeat it.
Just like Global Warming. Just out of curiosity, what would you say was the single most useful application of the black hole theorizing Hawking now rejects?
Perplexing boobs like you.
I figured you would punk out.
Quantum chromodynamics has no useful applications - dismiss it if you like, but your betters know better.
You're such a craven coward. Let's try again: Just out of curiosity, what would you say was the single most useful application of the black hole theorizing Hawking now rejects?
Try putting 2 and 2 together, dimwit.
And the coward flees again.
Ah, what the hell, I'll spoonfeed you: black hole theory has had no useful applications to date. So what?
Do you fuck monkeys?
Do you fuck monkeys? No, that's not the black holes we're talking about.
The retard thinks he is the offspring of monkeys. So hawkingshithead thinks you fuck your monkey wife.
Sometimes we make noises like monkeys ...
Ok you're a good sport. If you believe in evolution yoe can't be that smart in my view.
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?
So mud adapted into a tadpole? Or a one cell creature if you will?
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 I find this to be hogwash.
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.
