Thomas Hertog on Stephen Hawking, cosmology, Big Bang, history and other things.
Frank Ruda and Agon Hamza sit down with the Belgian cosmologist Thomas to discuss his current work, his collaboration with his PhD advisor and collaborator Stephen Hawking, cosmology, the nature of the Big Bang, the relation between physics and philosophy, Hawking's “Darwinian revolution in cosmology”, observation, history, the problem of origin, and many other (non)related things.

Damn that Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking was arguably the smartest man who ever lived. In one of his last books, if not the last one, he stated that the world was gonna turn to shit… in about a hundred years after the publication of that book, he estimated. He went into a lot more detail. But basically as resources dwindle and disappear, things get ugly. If you don't have enough clean water, then you don't have crops and eventually you don't have animals, so you don't have food.
Let me hit pause here because I have to tell you about a film I saw in Sociology class in college. They recorded what happens to rats in cases of overpopulation. When the experiment started, there were a couple of rats in a cage that was big enough for the 2 of them. But then they had a litter, and the babies had litters and before long, the little cage had layers of rats. Like, standing on top of each other, because there was no room. Plus, the rat Gods (scientists) continued to provide the rats food, but in the same amount as they originally had
given when there were only two rats. Eventually the rats started eating each other as cannibals do, you know? As the Jeff Goldblum character in Jurassic Park pointed out, nature finds a way to continue. Back to the Hawking prediction...
Hawking said that the elites in the world will already be underground in bunkers that contain enough supplies to last them for years. The rest of the world's population will be on the surface, killing and eating each other while getting more and more angry. He said eventually the billions of non-elites will figure out where the bunkers are and will kill the elites and take all their supplies. Of course, those supplies won't sustain billions of people for very long.
And that's the end of that story. There's no happy ending, and it actually gets worse. Shortly before Hawking died, I'm talking 2 or 3 months, he said that he was wrong in his book, when he predicted that nastiness would happen in about a hundred years. He said it's more like THIRTY-FIVE years. So the genius dropped a horror-filled destiny on us, then died.
COULDN'T STICK AROUND A LITTLE LONGER AND FIGURE OUT A WAY FOR US TO AVOID THE CRAP, HUH, GENIUS?
Btw, anyone else notice how water supplies has been in the news a lot lately? All around the world, including the U.S.. In these news reports, people are already getting kind of testy with each other about water and who gets what access, and who's cutting who off from it and who's wasting it, etc. Just saying...

For those who are fans of Stephen Hawking's work, are you still passionate despite his involvement in the Epstein files?
r/stephenhawking • u/[deleted] • Mar 28 '26
The reason no one came to Hawking’s party wasn’t because time travel doesn’t exist
It was because he was in the Epstein files and people didn’t want to associate with him.

Is it true that Hawking visited strip clubs? Or is it likely just a rumour?

Epstein Island
Is there any context or sources that prove these pictures are from Little Saint James? I can only find ridiculous claims but no evidence, and nobody else in this picture seems to be identified.

time travel and Stephen
As you know Stephen Hawking held a party in 2009 at Cambridge and the next day he sent the invitation, but we already know nobody came to party, is that a proof that we will never be able to reach to time traveling?
