Professor Stephen Hawking - The Man, The Physicist

Someone just sent me this funny (to me) comic about Professor Hawking: http://xkcd.com/799/

I'll be adding videos and links in the coming weeks in this thread, that don't deal with the book, as I don't want to spoil anything for the readers.

Re: Ch. 1 - The Mystery of Being

O.K. Chapter 1 was very short and I just gave a summary with links to topics in Chapter 1 that readers might be interested in reading more about. This is a teaser for when the November-December discussions start.

Re: Stephen Hawking: God didn't create universe
