Note the British use of the plural "maths" instead of the Colonial singular "math." It will be an interesting paper. Extreme things always are.

The one reason that I would give deference to Stephen's new theory is this:

The man states his earlier theory WAS WRONG and he has a new theory that fits the facts better.

VERY FEW ever ADMIT THEY ARE WRONG. It is the sign of the most intelligent to admit mistakes. It is like a scale. Stephen Hawking at one end, DEMOCRATIC VOTERS on the other.

Hawking's black holes, unlike classic black holes, do not have a well-defined event horizon that hides everything within them from the outside world.

I don't have an event horizon either, yet I manage to lose information all the time. I guess I'm more powerful than a black hole.

Interesting -- before seeing your comment I thought "maths" was just a typo in the article.

I'm just a mathematician, but I have to ask:

Do you people have ANY idea what you're doing? It seems the theories swing wildly from one end to the other and nobody bats an eye.
