…I don't know it's hard to get a scale on these things. Yeah I was wondering if you ever had the time rise to Stephen Hawking or Carl Sagan or people like that. Not to Stephen Hawking. Carl Sagan visited me once in Hawaii but he was more concerned to…

…this is alive and well. I mean its latest greatest exponent in the bestseller lists of the last few months is Stephen Hawking who is a perfect exponent really of that platonic view of the eternal intellect, the eternal mathematical mind which somehow is…
…mind of god in some sense is there before and prior to matter or bodies. And as one of our British Journals put it, Stephen Hawking is the closest thing we have to a disembodied mind, and it's a perfect. You see, in a sense there's a perfect. I think…

…it turns out to be very hard to model the universe without resorting to a singularity or several. A few years ago, Stephen Hawking who has incredible press, I must say, Stephen Hawking hypothesized that the existence of what he called mini black holes. He…

…But it's very bad to have a lot of singularities. The more singularities you have the weaker your theory. That's why Stephen Hawking decided that there weren't singularities at the center of black holes, because there were so damn many of them. Well my…
…The orthodox story of how the universe got here demands a singularity as well it's called the big bang but again revised after Hawking only one. Well so science puts its singularity at the beginning of the universe, and here is what it is. It is that…
…mandala and so we look to media, to experts, you know maybe the Dalai Lama can clarify it or mother Teresa or Stephen Hawking. Well forget all that those are just linguistic concepts as far as you're concerned the only thing that's real to you is…

…singularity. The definition of singularity is: you don't know what it is. This is a fishy way of making theories. By the way, Stephen Hawking is a prime example at one point in his career he was very keen for what were called mini black holes, and…
