Stephen Hawking Not An Intellectual?
Line 292: Line 292:     
Are there any references for your revelation that J Robert Oppenheimer "just sorted the mail" or however you put it?  I have read a couple of his biographies and that detail, if present, was obscured with all of the details on his research and experiments in developing the atomic bomb.  Carl Sagan, quoted from conservapedia's own article on him, was a professor of astronomy at Cornell.  His theories, whether you agree with them or not, do have scientific and mathematical backing.  Disagreeing with someone's theories does not make that person a "not quite intellectual" as you put it.  And finally, Stephen Hawking is widely considered to be the smartest person, if not in the world, then definitely within the scientific community.  And although his initial theory was incorrect, by his own admittance, he and others eventually corrected it into what I believe is currently the most accepted theory.  Very rarely is a scientific theory correct on the first try, especially on something as difficult to study as a black hole.  So I'm not quite sure how/why Hawking qualifies as a "not quite intellectual". --[[User:BillOhannity|BillOhannity]] 18:46, 14 November 2007 (EST)

Stephen Hawking, despite his worldwide-recognized advancements in the fields of theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity, as well as his contributions to other subfields of physics...is NOT an intellectual?  I'm baffled by that claim, as I never even contemplated that someone would argue against his being considered an intellectual, if not one of the most brilliant physicists of our time.  --[[User:Jdellaro|Jdellaro]] 13:13, 25 January 2008 (EST)
