So truthfully, I believe Einstein's wife (Mileva) was the real brains behind it all. Makes sense seeing that even though she was already in a position not given to many females, many men wouldn't take a woman's theories seriously unless they were theories of how to make dinner better.

Stephen Hawking.
Early in his carer he was outspoken against Einstein, and then he mysteriously developed his disease? How come then he is the only one to live this long with it? Makes no sense.
The fact of the matter is he's a vegetable, and just a puppet mouthpiece for MS science, what they want him to say, and that is to support Einstein fundamentally.
Yep, you've done been duped.
Happy trials [sic, deliberate], partners.

And what does that prove but that light has mass?
miss, never trust a jew
I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. These properties we can only speak of when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view.
ooooooooooooook. bending space can be witnessed. we frickin USE large clusters of mass far out in the universe as a lens because they bend space and observing more distant stars through the bent space allows us to see better.
It's hard to deny the obvious.

Any wonder he had to marry a math whiz to do his calculations for him?

Because really, what IS a photon? A particle? I think of a particle as something with mass, even if it is so amazingly small in amount, i would think that if you take that mass away and that leaves you with nothing. How can you have a light particle with nothing for mass? I could not in all honesty call it a particle anymore, you can't really have a particle without mass, it would be nothing and not there.
Not according to the Higgs-Kibble mechanism for generating particle masses. If the particle does not interact with the Higgs field permeating all space (and the photon does not because it lacks color and electric charges), then the Higgs particle cannot confer mass to it. Not having mass does NOT imply nothing is there. The quantum world is very counter-intuitive.

Cosmic rays do not go faster than light.
Just don't.
All it takes is a simple look into the matter, wiki if nothing else. Not terribly hard.
Cosmic rays attract great interest practically, due to the damage they inflict on microelectronics and life outside the protection of an atmosphere and magnetic field, and scientifically, because the energies of the most energetic ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) have been observed to approach 3 × 1020 eV,[5] about 40 million times the energy of particles accelerated by the Large Hadron Collider.[6] At 50 J,[7] the highest-energy ultra-high-energy cosmic rays have energies comparable to the kinetic energy of a 90-kilometre-per-hour (56 mph) baseball. As a result of these discoveries, there has been interest in investigating cosmic rays of even greater energies.[8] Most cosmic rays, however, do not have such extreme energies; the energy distribution of cosmic rays peaks at 0.3 gigaelectronvolts (4.8×10−11 J).[9]
Of primary cosmic rays, which originate outside of Earth's atmosphere, about 99% are the nuclei (stripped of their electron shells) of well-known atoms, and about 1% are solitary electrons (similar to beta particles). Of the nuclei, about 90% are simple protons, i. e. hydrogen nuclei; 9% are alpha particles, and 1% are the nuclei of heavier elements.[10]
The first detection method is called the air Cherenkov telescope, designed to detect low-energy (
We don´t make use of large masses bending space; large masses bend light.
So they did mask the word "neutron" with the terminology "nuclei of heavier elements", how strange.
