LONDON - Physicist Stephen Hawking, the author of "A Brief History of Time" who is almost completely paralyzed by motor neurone disease, has been urgently admitted to hospital, Cambridge University said on Monday. Hawking, 67, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital in Cambridge, where he teaches as a professor of applied mathematics and theoretical physics. "Professor Hawking is very ill and has been taken by ambulance to Addenbrooke's Hospital," the university said. A university spokesman said his condition was described as comfortable and that he would be kept in hospital overnight. Hawking, who is only able to speak through a computer-generated voice synthesizer, had been ill for a couple of weeks, with his condition deteriorating since he returned from a trip to the United States at the weekend, a source said.

Prayers for Hawkins. Maybe he will finally see the light. I hope it is not too late for him.
I concur. He’s a brilliant man and I respect his work, but he’s so far left, he should’ve rolled out of that chair of his and down the street.
this is morally wrong.....but i can’t stop looking and smirking!
He’s got nothing to look forward to beyond death. How sad.
Too bad such a brilliant mind was dealt such a bad hand. Regardless of his politics, he has contributed much to the field of astro-physics as well as other branches of the science.
Too bad most other liberals do nothing but TAKE, and contribute little of material value to the future of man. Oh, I forgot. Global warming.....

Let the holy roller “he’s going to hell” types off the leash. Pardon me while I go vomit.

“Judge not, lest ye be judged”.
It’s OK to judge the actions, but not the salvation, of another.
If he’s in a British hospital, he’s probably a goner. He should’ve stayed in the States.
Thanks for the sermon.
