[Vision2020] Stephen Hawking’s Blunder on Black Holes Shows Danger of Listening to Scientists

I am in some what more agreement with you here than on your previous immigration comments attributed to Bachman. I think that you should listen to scientists when they comment in their field. Just  understand that that scientist do disagree among themselves and that what is currently the preceived wisdom may change with new information.


On your immigration post, just what is your solution? I do not have one. Just shipping them back like some want to do, does not seem to me to solve anything. And just what are you shipping them back to? It is sensationalism to call them Labor camps. Some sort of facility to house and take care of them would seem to be the humane thing to do. I do not have any answers.

 Stephen Hawking's Blunder on Black Holes Shows Danger of Listening to Scientists, Says Bachmann
WASHINGTON-Dr. Stephen Hawking's recent statement that the black holes he famously described do not actually exist underscores "the danger inherent in listening to scientists," Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) said today.
Rep. Bachmann unleashed a blistering attack on Dr. Hawking, who earlier referred to his mistake on black holes as his "biggest blunder."
 

 

"Actually, Dr. Hawking, our biggest blunder as a society was ever listening to people like you," said Rep. Bachmann. "If black holes don't exist, then other things you scientists have been trying to foist on us probably don't either, like climate change and evolution."
Rep. Bachmann added that all the students who were forced to learn about black holes in college should now sue Dr. Hawking for a full refund. "Fortunately for me, I did not take any science classes in college," she said.
Bachmann's anti-Hawking comments seemed to be gaining traction on Capitol Hill, as seen from the statement by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), Chairman of the House Science Committee, who said, "Going forward, members of the House Science Committee will do our best to avoid listening to scientists."
