Are you quite sure that was Stephen who authored that thought or Stephen
saying what
his book publisher put him under intense pressure to say? Recall that
Hawking's
books have been hailed as some of the most purchased and the least read (and
understood) of all science writers. I think I gave up on his legendary
"Brief
History of Time" after about page 45.
Shame on you. You will never understand the mind of God! :-)
Richard Feynman said that if we really understand something we can print it on a t-shirt
and explain it to freshmen. Historically, scientific theories tend to be messy and
muddled when they are first put forward, e.g. Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, and then they
get cleaned up and become easier to understand later.
