Wow! Really?

According to The Telegraph, Stephen Hawking is considering leaving Cambridge for Ontario. It's merely a consideration, but maybe it will reopen the eyes of British funding agencies if they might lose one of their most amazing scientific resources.

I for one hope he does it. It would make it easier for me to hero-stalk him if he's on THIS side of the pond.


Reading another article from last year about Dr. Hawking's 65th birthday, and a photo caption reads, "He was struck down by motor neurone disease when he was 21 and given a year or two to live." He was not struck down. He brought physics to the non-physicist. He won a Putlitzer Prize. He's taught people with severe disabilities a thing or two about keepin' on. He was not struck down.
