Over at the Nobel betting pool, some have put forward Stephen Hawking as a possible candidate for the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics. While it would be great to see Hawking receive this prize, it just ain't gonna happen this year, for a number of very good reasons. "Why?" you may ask. Hawking's most noteworthy and popular work has been in black holes, specifically in the application of quantum physics to black holes, and even more specifically...

Homeopathy has been discussed on the Blue before, but you've never heard it explained so well as this. You'll learn lessmore about physics than you've ever believed possible, and see how Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity ties in to homeopathic medicine, and Stephen Hawking's String Theory makes it all happen. And don't tell me that Stephen Hawking didn't invent String Theory. Charlene Werner says he did, and she invented Syntonic...

Great. Rumours are circulating that Stephen Hawking was found dead. We have a hot tip that some very angry Black Holes are pissed off, spreading lies, starting beefs (i.e. probably bullshit). If you hear anything, let us know. Thanks.

It was theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking who contributed most to the black hole paradox. After 30 years of claiming that nothing could escape from a black hole, his new theory reveals that black holes do not destroy everything that falls into them.Contributor: Ann-Marie KyesPublished: Oct 11, 2009

As we recently noted, Stephen Hawking has stepped down from the Lucasian Chair at Cambridge. The chair didn’t stay empty for long. It has been announced that Michael Green will become the new Lucasian Professor. Green is one of the pioneers of string theory, and is already at Cambridge. I’m not sure he even switches offices, or chairs for that matter. Hawking did seminal work in general relativity. He proved a number of singularity theorems...
