I bet he doesn't care.

[supernova1965]

I doubt he does either infact I bet he is dancing in his mind:D

[MrB]

Interesting, did he say it would never be found because he believed it didn't exist or just that we(humans) were unlikely to detect it?

[JB80]

It was more out of his own amusement really and the fact that science's greatest advances come about from unexpected results. If they couldn't find it then a whole re-think would of been needed. I doubt he actually disagreed with the fact it could exist.



Stephen Hawkings own words.
