A FAIRY STORY



If there's to be any fairy stories, 
ought not they be found here?




"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop 

working when its components fail. There is no heaven or 

afterlife for broken down computers; 

that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

  1. Hawking forgets that humanity created computers, so essentially, he still doesn't know, much as he thinks he knows.

  4. i simply adore this man. Who is to say he is wrong, just because he was completely off on that whole 'black hole' thing. even quadraplegic geniuses have an off day.

  5. What makes the incredible insult of personal death bearable is good. In the end all we have, is hope. BTW Hawkings' scientific knowledge is nothing else but another tale, a narration based on pretty strange basical assumptions. Something like a cult, they worship numbers.
    I prefer the fairies.

    They way he puts it just sounds like another religion to me...
    Another dogma with no dogfood.
