No one has anything positive to say?

I think the guy was joking.
It's hard to compare modern scientist to their ancestors. The scope of knowledge has widened to the point that any modern discoveries seem insignificant due to their complexity and degree of specialization. -

I agree, Hawking is a genius, not only that it's awesome that he's been a guest star on some freakin cool TV shows, you don't see that many famous scientists who are that fun loving. Anyway these days I'd say that he's the closest guy to Einstein that we know of.

I have to admit that I don't know a whole lot of what Prof. Hawking has accomplished, so let's look at this from another perspective.
How many inspirations have come out of the Star Trek genre? Cell phones are one, video conferencing for another, and for some, an inspiration to become involved in science and space.
It is clear that many of his theories have been applied to Star Trek stories. Although fictional and unproven, Prof. Hawking left his impression on one of the most intriguing genres to date. His accomplishment, in my opinion, may have been simply to inspire imagination as well as more research into his theories by more able-bodied and younger students. -

beep anyone who insults him
.
There is nothing lower than a person who badmouths someone with a disablilty. The guy is a bloody genius and a credit to quantum physics (or whatever- I'm too thick to have read any book of his but a History of Time) and a credit to the nation (and the world).
In my opinion those who badmouth him are secretly jealous that they have but two brain cells in their tiny heads- one to think of themselves and the other to feel envy toward those better than themselves.

It is true that he is not the most important thing that has every happened to Science. However, he may not be a big deal compared to other great scientists in the past, but he is one of the best scientists alive and you have to give him credit for that. He also has a way of explaining things to the world in a language that the world understands and is interested in.
I also admire him because he is able to do what he has done even though he is disabled. I mean, if I was disabled, I would think that I wouldn't be able to achieve anything great. The fact that he is even able to contribute to science is just incredible, no matter how small the contribution may be.
