science link of the day

dr. hawking has made a complete reversal in part of his theory of black holes. even the smartest man on the planet can be wrong sometimes.

i actually had the priviledge of hearing dr. hawking speak at an astronomy convention in atlanta when i was in high school. it was amazing. i don't remember much about the topic of the talk anymore, and to be honest, a lot of it was probably over my head at the time. but it was absolutely amazing. and not only is he completely brilliant, he is really funny. and get this - he loves the simpsons. (that's why he appeared in that one episode).
