"Stephen Hawking" on Netflix

Excellent show. Focuses on Dr.Hawking's humanity and career struggles. Even if it wasn't about one of the most brilkiant minds of history it would still be an excellent program. Highly recommended.

The fool should have stuck to physics and kept his mouth shut on philosophy.

Of course the line between philosophy and theoretical physics has been blurry for quite a while, like all of human history.

Nonetheless he has demonstrated the folly of appealing to appeals to authority when pontificating on areas outside their expertise.

Feynman while an unbeliever would have been appalled at the religious dogmatism (scientism) of the current breed of so called scientists IMHO. 




For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
