I appreciate Mitra feeling bitter about this, but at least it should get his result more public awareness. I do find it very interesting, more so than any squabbling about who was first. Looks like Mitra has done a far better job anyway so that's what I'm really interested in. (Maybe now there will be an article for dummies like me in scientific american...) Also tbh I haven't really thought Hawking was doing much actual science for a long time, as an interested lay-person at least, despite him being called in on the odd well-publicised bet ... (plus his "imaginary time" idea seems to have dropped off the radar). He's good for the odd quote about the mind of God and fire in the equations... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
