String Theory's Third Revolution

Nesti (Mark) · #1 09-11-2009, 02:17 PM

The info is three weeks old and I can't find a previous thread, but I've just read that Stephen Hawking's replacement is Michael Green

I must be living under a rock because I've not heard anything about it (sheltered I guess).

There's an Aether heratic at the helm

Tee-he-he-he

See what all that hard thinking, worry and theorising does to you!!!. A year ago, he was a young man...now he looks like he's 80 years old!!!

Hi Mark & Renorm,
I used to have greys. Now theyr'e white.
What do you suppose that means.

Steve Hawking. Kind of an end of an era. I have the DVD of his biography. A real pioneer and a fighter.

Cheers Marty

Hi Warren,

You're absolutely and irrefutably correct.

Cheers Marty

Nesti (Mark) · #7 09-11-2009, 03:15 PM

Oh, did I say grey?! I meant white.

Hi Mark,

Is there a prize for second?

Cheers Marty

Your photo suggests otherwise...balding issues...but young!

TrevorW · #14 09-11-2009, 04:57 PM
