Hawking made very difficult concepts understandable and relatable. His scientific ideas were as easy to follow as a good work of science fiction. His greatest contribution was his ability to bring the ivory tower to the masses and especially to the young, over any actual theories themselves.
I firmly believe the combined contributions of people he personally inspired will exceed ANY individual's contributions. Even if every single last one of his ideas were pulling from the work of others like a modern day Newton he STILL launched science forward just from his example and his story.

He helped us understand the actual world we live in is more interesting and awe inspiring than the reptilian overlord, flat earth fantasy land you live in.

There are these things. They are physical objects. We print words on them and call them books. Hawking wrote one. Try it out some day when you're not too busy setting an exact date for the end of the world.

Except he didn't do that at all. What did he help us understand exactly you dumb delusional fuck?

His scientific ideas were basically all science fiction, that's why they were as easy to follow as it.

Hawking was able to see universes as subject to evolution.
If you think about a black hole as a possible portal to another universe (not yet proven, I grant you), then it is interesting to speculate about the nature of black holes. It is possible that black holes are a gateway to another universe.
If this is true, and if universes iterate themselves over time, then it could be said that a Black Hole is a sort of.... uterus. It gives birth to new universes.
If that is the case, then these universes are subject to natural selection and we may very well be inhabiting such a naturally selected universe.

You'll notice this is a common theme with Hawkings works. He didn't do shit really. Also, there's only one universe and unfortunately, you're in it.

I didn't think anybody could make a post in this thread that was worse than Lumi, but here we are.

Should have made him a cockney. Would have been nice - "Dis physics shits a right berkshire hunt and it's doing mi loaf in"
Kubrick actually had this happen on the 2001 set as all the voice for HAL were done later so HAL was spoken by some cockney grip or something during filming.
