Stephen Hawking wasn't "wrong", it was a theory. Theories aren't nessacarily what's actually going on, it's just a way of viewing a problem in a way that helps you predict outcomes. People who say things like "this theory is wrong" are the same typ of people who say "scientists say" or "science says". Susskind simply came up with a theory that is less wrong, and that will spark new conversations and one day someone will come up with a theory that's less wrong than his.
