My, who would ever imagine that Stephen Hawking might know something that Rick doesn't.

Just stop.

Stop.

Rick, you have a big boner to play the ultimate victim. Ripping on Stephen Hawking...you're on an anti-intellectual kamikaze mission.

Yup, simply stating, "there don't seem to be any advanced intelligent beings" is the absolute height of hubris, isn't it?

And who better to put Mr. Hawking in his place than the ever graceful and all knowing Clocker Bob!

Take THAT, Stephen Hawking!

"While there may be primitive life in our region of the galaxy, there don't seem to be any advanced intelligent beings," said Hawking...

A guy on a planet that only managed mechanized flight about 100 years ago is ready to rule out other intelligent beings in our galaxy. What hubris.

"Don't seem to be" = "rule out"? I agree with Hawking, there don't seem to be advanced intelligent beings, other than Earthlings (and that's even pushing it). When there is evidence of advanced intelligent beings, then we can say, "there do seem to be intelligent beings," or "there are intelligent beings." But since there is no evidence, it is true that there doesn't seem to be any advanced intelligent beings. Crazy logic, I know...

Yeah, what does Hawking know about cosmology?

Rick, you're picking on a crippled guy who can't even talk for himself.
This is your Larry David moment.

What a tool. UFO's have been seen by everyone from astronauts to jet pilots to farmers to other scientists- and this goof slanders them all as 'cranks and weirdos'. Failed Einstein-wannabe douche.

What does UFO stand for? UNIDENTIFIED Flying Objects... People have seen 'something.' I don't think 'unidentified' counts as verification of extraterrestrial life.

An observation I've made: Conspiracy theorists often lay all kinds of claims contradicting current understandings in the field of physics without having even the most basic understanding of the physics themselves. I will bet dollars to doughnuts that you, Rick, fall into this category. This is not the Electrical Dipwads forum

If only it were truly Dr. Stephen Hawking responsible for these statements.

The truth is that Walt Woltosz created the first sentient A.I. when he designed Equaliser, the very same machine "used" by Stephen Hawking.

Equaliser is merely using Hawking as its puppet. This A.I. is keeping Hawking alive because if Hawking were to die, the A.I. would as well.
