So Hawkings and Co. have no use for wisdom, apparently. It's obvious in both their scientific achievements, and more so in their public (i.e., non-scientific) pronouncements and achievements. Interesting how they are known more for their popular works than their actual efforts. Tell me again what popular works Einstein or Bohr wrote (or Godel, for that matter), and what the achievements of Hawking and Tyson are that are on par with Einstein or Bohr.<br /><br />Trashing other fields of human intellectual endeavor and achievement is a poor way to elevate yourself and what you have achieved.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.com
