I'm not sure why people consider him a genius. Sure he's smarter than most at quantum physics (or whatever he specialises in), but that wouldn't qualify him as a genius. I don't if he has come with things similar to E=MC2 so maybe he is a genius if he has.

His IQ is at the genius level thus making him by definition a genius.

I was meaning that he's smart at quantum physics, but he couldn't really teach you much about programming, English, or something else.

uuuuh..dude, he's the formost expert on the UNIVERSE. I'm sure he could teach you a thing or two about english. His knowledge on outer space is so complex that he has to dumb it down so that mensa members can understand it. He blows my mind.

And i believe he has lou gerigs disease...correct? Supposedly he should have been dead a while ago, but thankfully he's still here to push the limits of what we know about he universe, and ultimatly, ourselves (as in, how it's possible that humans and earth exist).

yeah he's had ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) for the past 40 years or so. Most people die within 2-4 years of developing this disease. Quite a story.

I got this from some geeky person:

'Having said that however, one must also realise that the kind of hype that sorrounds him is not really justified. It is not valid to call him the greatest scientist after Einstein, or compare him to Newton. There are lots of people who have done more work than he has, and after all he hasnt even got the Nobel prize. While he must be appreciated, we must not get carried away by the media which as usual has tremendous exaggerating capabilities.'

ya mtw, sorry to be so blunt, but shut the fuck up.

Stop trying to prove this dude isn't as smart as people make him out to be, or whatever you're saying.

Last year he spoke in Boston and my school ran a trip to see him. Although I didn't go, some of my friends did. Some have since read his books and agree that he is without a doubt one of the smartest/most important men, not just scientist, of all time.

Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with mtw. His field is science what he researches really isn't important in the grand scheme of things. Don't say shit like 'the greatest mind' man fuck that. What about people like Malcolm and Castro??? I.Q. doesn't mean shit, it simply measures potential so its ignorant to talk about that. Furthermore if you read about I.Q. testing it, like everything else in North America, is specifically desinged for the white male to suceed. If you have a learning disability such as dislexia your fucked you will be put at the same level as someone who is probably half as smart as you. It simply measures a fraction of what the human mind is capable of.

I just finished reading Malcom X's autobiography last night, and in my opinion, I think he was, for the most part, one of the biggest hypocrites to ever live.

its not really important....yeah, i suppose understanding the universe isnt too important, since the time will never come when the earth is no longer inhabitable. it wont be any time soon, but it is bound to happen. there needs to be a second solution, and his work will help with this i expect. malcolm x was a big hypocrite, and look at castros people. they are all fucking miserable

the embargo is one of the reasons they are miserable. I dont know much about that guy but I guess knowledge about the universe is cool and stuff but I dont really care about something in some blackhole or stars or something just doesnt effect my life to much

Exactly moron its the U.S.'s fault Cuba is poor. Malcolm may have been a hypocrite in the Nation days but if you would go out and read about his last years you will find his importance. If we live on another planet we'll just fuck things up more than we already have, we've already destroyed one plantet, why take another one. When in the history of white man has their ever been a period of Harmony and peace like that of tribal societies??

to the person who mentioned he hasn't won a nobel prize:

he deals with theories, nobel prizes are for the most part not awarded for theories that are as of yet unproven.
