>>29607154Stephen Hawking is washed up and you shouldn't pay any attention to what he says outside of his joint formulation of black hole radiation (which happened quite some time ago and was achieved using data he stole from a pair of Russian scientists). I mean, despite living in a universe that is accelerating outwards , he thinks that the universe is closed AND has zero energy. He also thinks that if there are multiple universes (something he flip flops on whenever it suits him) that transportation between them is impossible. He also thinks that global warming will render the earth uninhabitable in 1000 years, even though evidence suggests that even with our help, the greenhouse effect will only spiral out of control in at least a couple million years. Honestly, if you want a positive outlook of the universe/multiverse, support a formulary that believes that naked singularities (singularities with no event horizons) are possible within the confines of our universe.
