Anyone watching this Stephen Hawking program?

It's the biggest hypothetical guess ever.

If aliens existed, it's possible they could live on massive starships like this, and harness the power of a star. It's possible they could have halted their ageing process and make themselves immortal.

They could do this, they may do that, they probably do this, they may be able to open wormholes and travel to earth.

Every sentence starts with a 'may'

Interesting to hear what a mind like his thinks might be possible though.

 

[Chrisjn]

I agree with duffer on this. Was pretty interesting, and If he says it's possible, it is!

Lets talk about space n stuff.

He knows it's all true because he's really just a shit transformer.

He's only so well known because of his condition. Granted he's a clever man, however he'd be barely known if he was able.

I find this statement to be well off the mark.

The guy was key in showing that a longstanding theory of a 'static universe' to be wrong, going massively against the established position in the field at that time and thus completely transformed the field of cosmology.

I would even argue that had he not had motor neurones disease and all the restrictions that has placed upon him, he may even have produced an even larger body of work than he has already.

The guy is one of the most brilliant minds of his generation and to claim positive discrimination is why he is so well known is wrong.

Was abit of a rididiculous program if you ask me, its only because it was Hawking's imagination it got commissioned. Would've liked abit more factual stuff before he delved into all hypothetical probabilities.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Was absolutely daft. Harnessing all the energy off a sun? Puh-lease.
