    Default Stephen Hawkins is a Kantian

    Yup knew it. Just read his Brief History Of Time. So not only did Einstein plagiarized Kant's thinking, but Hawkins did as well.

    Kant said:

    1. If the universe had no beginning, there would be an infinite time of events.

    2. And if it had a beginning, there would still be an infinite time before it.

    Pretty much, Hawkin's entire book revolved around that one premise (which he admitted); sure he added more science, but the thinking was nothing new and a copy right of Kant's critique of pure reason.

    Skip the bullsh*t and just study Kant; these scientists are nothing more than parrots saying the same sh*t he said 200 years ago. Boring.

    Philosophy > Science

    Who the hell is Stephen Hawkins? You've mentioned him three times, is he famous or something? Am I right to assume you never actually read the book by the dude in a wheelchair with a similar, but not quite the same name?

    cool!

    and since you're a Kantian too, that means you're kind of very smart ad-hoc like

    The economics of Mises was founded on Kantian principles. You a Misean Rambo?

    Kant's work is dependant on Hume's as well, as was Darwin. Hume > all.

    You read the book so carefully that you apparently don't know his name.

    As I said before, Rambo is way past his prime. Maybe he's decent at flipping burgers, but that's it.

    Acting like Kant and Hume's ideas weren't around for at least a millenia beforehand

    And who the F is "Hawkins"

    Also, OP is clearly ignorant and has little to no understanding of astrophysics. Not that everyone should understand or be interested in astrophysics, but if you make this kind of topic...

    Hawking expressly wrote A Brief History of Time for the layperson, and decided to not include any physics or math except for an early mention of E=mc^2. Look at his actual body of work (easily found online)

    Hawking has made massive contributions to astro/physics. He led the way for modern physicists towards finding a GUT and attempting to reconcile the theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics. Even "side" contributions like the postulation (and discovery) of Hawking radiation has been absolutely influential.

    And yeah, "Philosophy > Science" may be true in terms of easiness. Philosophy is to science as armchair QBs are to the guys actually playing the game. I want to be clear: No disresepct to Kant, Hume, Schopenhauer (and all the Eastern philosophers who get consistently ignored in favor of European ones) and all the other guys who paved the way for people like Newton, Einstein, Schroedinger and Hawking to exist. They were tremendously influential and I do not dispute those philosophers' wit or contributions to society.

He said that philosophical problems can be answered by science, particularly new scientific theories which "lead us to a new and very different picture of the universe and our place in it".

    Rambo knows plenty about Manual Kant and Steve Hawkins and Alban Einsteinberg. He read their wikipedias.

    I don't about Kantian, but I'm pretty sure Stephen Hawkins is a reptilian.
