What...Are you nuts? Every theoretical physicists' theories are revised as more is learned. Einstein, Chandrasekhar, Oppenheimer, Thorne...you name 'em, they've all learned more and thus modified their ideas over time (no pun intended.)

Hard to read? Put down you Us Weekly and concentrate. Hmmmm...Maybe this explains the "just raise ticket prices topay for our raise" mentaility so much in favor on the forum.

BTW... Hawkings does all of the math IN HIS HEAD.--and I'm talking real, complex math, not the pilot-type math needed to make a crossing restriction...
