He's died again? Just can't catch a break that guy....

He is just f***ing with you. Stephen invented a time machine using black holes, just so he could die twice.

it's the black hole thingy he fell into...

What I dont get is how some one so intelligent could get global warming so wrong:
The British physicist warned Earth could turn into Venus if action to halt climate change was not taken immediately[^]
Almost no light reaches the surface, about 16 watts, so reflective and dense is its atmosphere.
Since greenhouse theory rests on 'the sun warms the surface, the surface radiates heat, GH gasses block that heat' then with the 'sun warms the surface' part removed, you dont have a GH effect occurring.
And surface temperatures can be accounted for because of its immensely heavy atmosphere, 100 times that of earth. The lapse rate, boyles law, heating through compression etc.
Anyway, perhaps he was just using it as a scare tactic to promote space travel, since he also warned about asteroid strikes.

No, because the discussion isnt about AGW, it is about Hawking.

The sun doesn't need to reach all the way to the surface. It just needs to penetrate far enough that when it's absorbed and the energy radiates back as heat, it can't escape the atmosphere. Hawking was probably right, that's Venus in a nutshell.
Sad to see him pass.  The world is definitely poorer now.

Did you inform him of all that?

I'm sure he is now in heav.. wait!, he didn't believe in that, so he will then?... become one with the force?
All jokes aside he'll be missed, he and Sagan. We are running short of Geniuses!.

Half of my time is spent on #1 dreaded, all of my time is spent on 4 of the fist 17 dreaded.
I enjoy being the dread master.

Apart from VB6 (which has its unique advantages, most of the problem is our codebase) I am very happy since I prefer C (with a hint of ++) and Assembler to most languages/frameworks/whatever. I like the gritty details and I like working on science or pure engineering. Algorithms, drivers, pieces of OS... that is my ideal environment!
