Stephen Hawking

I just don't see what this man has ever done to deserve his fame. Sure, he has made "contributions" to his field but has there been any great breakthroughs for science? He seems to have inherited Carl Sagan's position as the "go to" guy when newspapers need a quote. Carl Sagan, in my not so humble opinion, is also highly overrated.

Hawking's latest proclamation to his adoring masses is here.
