I've read Brief History of Time and liked it, now I'm working my way through Brian Greene's book Fabric of the Cosmos and others. I'll just keep with those books since there is nothing new in Hawking's book and it is speculative as well as written at the popular level.Edgar Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280475259670777653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958708.post-37200527022954019312010-09-06T16:23:11.819-07:002010-09-06T16:23:11.819-07:00Wikipedia says professor Schempp received his Phd ...Wikipedia says professor Schempp received his Phd in "67". He has been around even longer than hawkins. and he is well known, He will make you think twice.

Saying that there should not be 2 high tides, based on the effect of the moon,also these tides are on all sides of the planet. Continuing 2 high tides falsefy gravity. Ellery says a lot of interesting things about " the theory of Gravity.

It becomes evident that theories are nothing more than mere speculation even from a mind a sharp as Hawkins. If I was in his condition with the ALC I would find it difficult to believe in a creator to, even with all the proofs of his existence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958708.post-44674113309799575162010-09-05T18:03:25.752-07:002010-09-05T18:03:25.752-07:00my comment should have read "the apex of A co...my comment should have read "the apex of A cone"Edgar Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280475259670777653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958708.post-13773129931179306172010-09-05T18:02:08.493-07:002010-09-05T18:02:08.493-07:00I guess we'll have to read Hawking's book ...I guess we'll have to read Hawking's book to see his latest thoughts on gravity, but I know some years ago, Hawking proposed that "creation" occurred "without creation" since the universe's origin could be compared (purportedly) to the apex of cone, the figure of which is illustrated on page 66 of Paul Davies' work The Mind of God. But William Lane Craig and Paul Copan challenged this Hawking-Hartle model of the universe in their work on creation ex nihilo.Edgar Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280475259670777653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958708.post-23724130967616526022010-09-05T12:56:39.470-07:002010-09-05T12:56:39.470-07:00At least he calls it a theory.
