Stephen Hawking: overrated or underrated?
« on: June 19, 2006, 07:45:49 PM »
Just saw an article about him in the NYTimes and it raised the question in my head--overrated or underrated?

you are doomed in the fated sense, but that's completely irrelevant because that's only from the viewpoint of someone who is not constrained by time. since you are temporal, for all intents and purposes you have the power to change your future

Perhaps a Poll is in order.

Is there any way to add a poll instead of creating a new topic? I was more interested in stimulating some discussion though, but a poll wouldn't hurt.

Overated.
He is a great scientist, but lately he has been dabbling in Philosophy where he isnt as strong.

There should be an "add poll" button at the bottom.
