RIP, Stephen Hawking
A brilliant life has finally come to an end at age 76. We are very lucky to have had him for so long.

One burned so bright, He fought through crippling misfortune. To self-ignite others in the unflinching pursuit of knowledge. No greater accomplishment can possibly be asked of any man. His name will join the Greats of science, undiminished by time. His broad shoulders will carry the following generations forwards. Their paths constantly illuminated, by his unquenchable light. |

It means that North of the North pole and South of the South pole is a valid physical perspective as two dynamics and their traits are in operation. |

Gerald, must you hijack virtually every thread with your insane drivel? Your time would be much better spent reading an astronomy textbook to finally learn about what you *think* you already know, but don't.
If you have nothing to contribute concerning the life of Dr. Hawking in this thread, don't say a darn thing... |

Maybe you can write a book entitled ' A brief history of timekeeping' which is the background to all empirical notions since Newton. |

Loser 1461, AKA: The Oscar Filcher, was not invited to dance maniacally on the coffin at the great man's wake. |

Gerald, must you hijack virtually every thread I keep to my own topics by and large and it has been that way for quite some time. Physics at an engineering level is fine but astrophysics, cosmology or whatever buzz word attached to it nowadays always was contrived. Timekeeping is easy enough despite the multiple reference systems used through history but unfortunately Sir Isaac adopted the RA/Dec celestial sphere system which tries to undermine timekeeping and the Lat/Long system as it refers to the Earth's daily and orbital motions. Sir Isaac was trying to bridge the gap by doing a hatchet job on the Equation of Time by trying to define that timekeeping facility as time itself - "Absolute time, in astronomy, is distinguished from relative, by the equation of time. For the natural days are truly unequal, though they are commonly considered as equal and used for a measure of time; astronomers correct this inequality for their more accurate deducing of the celestial motions...The necessity of which equation, for determining the times of a phænomenon, is evinced as well from the experiments of the pendulum clock, as by eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter." Principia I give you more than a brief history of timekeeping, I presented this forum with a comprehensive perspective of 5 reference systems all the way back to the creation of the calendar framework and the astronomical event that determines it. Unlike the originator of relativity as another outrigger of Newton's absolute/relative 'definitions' who became acclaimed, the astrophysical narrative is so burdened with voodoo and bluffing presently that Hawking is only recognized for the headache inducing pronouncements about God. |

Don’t forget his ground breaking collaboration with one of your heroes Roger Penrose of Penrose tiling fame. Penrose seemed to have a much better opinion of Stephen Hawking on TV today. |
