All of the sudden, Stephen Hawking[wiki] has been all over the news with not just theories about physics, but also the future of humanity. It has a lot of people talking, and rightfully so.
Hawking is not talking through his hat when he says the survival of the human race depends on its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the universe, because there’s an increasing risk that humanity could be wiped out by a disaster. [indiatimes]
What I’m trying to sort out is his appearance at the String Theory conference in China[xinhuanet]. In a packed house of scientists, aka uber-geeks, was anyone paying attention when Hawking’s nurse was on stage?
I had a professor in college that told me numerous times that it pays to be a nerd some times. Of course, that professor was a female who preferred the comfort of fellow females, so I’m thinking this isn’t what she meant. However, I do beg to differ.
so are you saying you want me to get a nurses’ uniform for the sake of humanity’s future or did i just read that wrong? :-p
Yes. Yes, I do.
Only if I get the cool, motorized wheelchair.
