- mhh__ 9y ago?? As do literally tens of millions of people in the UK.
- ProxCoques 9y agoWhatever, dude. Do you agree with what he says or not? BTW Jeremy Hunt's only qualification to be in charge of the NHS was to be the MD of Hot Courses before he became an MP. Who cares?
- anon2457 9y agoYes, this article while reasonable and indicating actual concerns is another reason why the right feels like science and academia in general is against them. Hawking is using his position of authority in physics to push for progressive political change. I'm not saying I'm against this but I'm of the view people should take a more realist approach to articles such as this.
- vbuwivbiu 9y agoyeh he's "only" a theoretical physicist, with highly advanced mathematical skills and exceptional topological visualization capabilities, who's dedicated his life to studying cosmology while suffering one of the world's most nightmarish diseases
- vixen99 9y agoEvidently you are under the impression that argument by authority has some merit. It does not. His qualification to comment remains as with anybody else, the quality of the actual arguments and the nature of any supporting evidence that he puts forward on a particular subject.
- ProxCoques 9y agoWell yes, but I take it you also understand he has motor neurone disease and has therefore been contact with the NHS a great deal during his life.
- vbuwivbiu 9y agotell me, who do you trust on this issue more: Hawking or Hunt ?
