He's back! On the "We're all smarter than Hawking" thread (linky):

Everyone should remember that Stephen Hawking believed that time travel was physically possible according to Einstein’s physics. His friend and protege, Kip Thorne, who also received a Nobel Prize for the alleged discovery of gravitational waves, wrote the book on time travel through wormholes, a favorite of Star Trek fanatics.
However, as any physicist worth their PhD should know, a time dimension would make motion impossible. As science philosopher Karl Popper once wrote in Conjectures and Refutations, “spacetime is a block universe in which nothing happens.” Time travel is simply stupid.
Hawking’s reputation as a brilliant physicist has been greatly exaggerated. Physics is resting on a Himalayan sized mountain of BS. But then again, what should one expect in a world of lies? |
