We all know that people giving big,
important messages have to wear gloves.

No, he wasn't. As I've pointed out before, there is an overwhelming obsession with a) being right on the internet, and b) pointing out when everyone is wrong on the internet. Both of these stem from having a small penis, hence you see so few women on message boards being pretentious douche-bags. When Hawking came forth and said there was no escape from a black hole in classical physics, he was right according to theories in that field. However, quantum physics disagreed, repeatedly tea-bagging him and telling him it could, as he sat there, unable to defend himself. You see, when dealing with theories, you don't really know anything. You make a true, educated guess, and then test it. It has to hold up under testing, and to be completely honest, theory is all we have to work with right now on the subject. Scientist are not obsessed with being right. They're not obsessed with proving or disproving anything. They're obsessed with figuring out how things work. Hawking took a step back, looked at two different fields, agreed there needed to be a theory to bring both together, and openly admitted he was still looking for that answer. That's how science works; it's not a stupid meme with the word "science" written across it, or some jackass who barely understands the model of gravity saying, "It's just science." There is no right or wrong here. I'm right.
How Stephen Hawking sees himself,
according to classical and quantum physics.
