Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 London (CNN) - As one of the world's most renowned scientists, Stephen Hawking is regularly called on to help explain the universe's more mysterious phenomena. But asked to account for Donald Trump's political rise Tuesday, the British theoretical physicist was stumped. "I can't," Hawking told CNN affiliate ITV's "Good Morning Britain" program. "He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator." The Trump campaign did not immediately reply to a message requesting comment.

Didymus 34,380 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Accurate, but so are many (dare I say most) politicians. Edit: Actually it depends on your definition of the word. But I guess it's obvious how he used it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty Bad Anyway, Most scientists IN THE WORLD recognize the existence of Global Warming, but 50% of our population pretty much doesn't, sooo this means little or will have little impact Appeals to authority (while not necessarily wrong in insolated incidents, just as an absolute) are just that as well. The most knowledgeable person in the world on Physics doesnt necessarily know squat about racism or the social issues plaguing this country But I digress..., for those who DO fallaciously believe in Appeals to Authority, change your damn minds 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called Trump a demagogue, which any rational person with eyes and ears knows. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
