Hawking's story is extraordinary - but you can fill books with entertaining anecdotes Feynman's exploits (in fact, they have). Hawkings probably 'wins' in terms of sheer impressiveness of what he has accomplished and what he has overcome.
But I still stand by saying that Feynman was more entertaining.
- Zancarius 17y ago> But I still stand by saying that Feynman was more entertaining. I agree that Feynman is entertaining, and he's something of a legend. I do feel that Hawking is not just fascinating in his own right but he's AMAZINGLY inspirational. Given the adversity he has faced for much of his life, the fact that he still pursues his love of science should be a lesson to all of us. To call his story merely "extraordinary" is doing a grave disservice to such an incredible individual.
