Still Waters Posted March 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2023 In 2002 Thomas Hertog received an email summoning him to the office of his mentor Stephen Hawking. The young researcher rushed to Hawking’s room at Cambridge. “His eyes were radiant with excitement,” Hertog recalls. Typing on the computer-controlled voice system that allowed the cosmologist to communicate, Hawking announced: “I have changed my mind. My book, A Brief History of Time, is written from the wrong perspective.” Thus one of the biggest-selling scientific books in publishing history, with worldwide sales credited at more than 10m, was consigned to the waste bin by its own author. Hawking and Hertog then began working on a new way to encapsulate their latest thinking about the universe. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/mar/19/stephen-hawking-told-me-ive-changed-my-mind-my-book-is-wrong 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotAlien7 Posted May 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Looking in from the outside do you still see a Big Bang? A Big Bang is not necessarily needed to have motion. The laws of physics can still apply but you have been blinded by The Big Bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
