There's a story that Professor Hawking met up with Brent Spiner years later, and the first thing Hawking said to Spiner was "Where's my money?" regarding this scene.

No, Newton rules. This character sucks. Newton would've probably won the poker game too considering HE did a huge amount of work in probability for profits sake.
@1ockedand1oaded yea but in reality he is not dead, whreas Newton and Einstein are which means they have to create them with holographics. In this secene they actually got the real live stepehen hawking to play the role so he wasnt a hologram!! haha jaysuss

PLEASE don't fight a flame war here. Please. This was just supposed to be a silly little Star Trek clip. Go to a physicists' forum or something to fight your silly war, if it's really that important.
out of all the minds,datas is best lol. but realy,newton was the revolutionary,enstine was the philosofical and genius,but the hawk can put all that together to make it work. they need to clone his ass into a better body already and let him continue to rip science a new ass lol,am i right?
@Utoobepooper I have grave doubts that he'll ever be. Actually, the public don't even know who are world's most important living physicist (Hawking is one of them, but not necessarily the most important one) -much of his fame come from that he wrote several popular science best sellers and his personal biography.
@ebooklibrary27 I know what are Hawking contributions to the understanding of the physical universe and about his works on black holes. Yes, he's one of the most important living physicist today but he's not in the league of Einstein and Newton (and I can name other desist physicists I consider notable than him)
@COOH28 Nobody in the history of the human race is on the level of Newton... he discovered the laws of motion, gravity, optics and invented calculus before he was 27. Einstein and Hawking are both on the same genius level. One helped us to understand the very large and the other the very small. It's futile to argue who is better.
@meloveoasis Arguing that Hawking is at the same level of Einstein is something that only someone with little understanding of physics can argue. There are who argue that Newton was grater, as a physicist, than Einstein though most notable physicist would consider Einstein to be the greatest physicist of all time-and with very good reason.
@COOH28 I'm a physics student in uni! I can't write an eqn properly on the internet so I'll english it out and you solve it for black holes.... "The Ricci curveature tensor - half the metric tensor times the contracted curvature tensor is proportional to the stress energy tensor" i.e Einstein's eqn for genral relativity. Watch your math come up with infinate. I've watched Lawerance Krauss come up with crazy answers when he guest lectured at my uni.
Those of Einstein -i.e., getting to F=M*A is much shorter than getting to E=MC2. Newton was one of three greatest known mathematicians and one three greatest known physicists while Einstein was the greatest known physicist of all time and a gifted mathematician (but very very far behind Newton league in regard to math) .
@meloveoasis I didn't get how all of what you wrote have something with your argument that Hawking is standing on the same podium with Einstein. First, Einstein also contributed to our understanding of the small - he's one of the founders of quantum mechanics and his mind experience EPR -is the one which made it solid-though he himself didn't like it and co designed the experiment in purpose to refute quantum mechanics. Newton achievements are great but mostly intuitive when compared with
@COOH28 Arguablely Einstein's two greatest legacies are his General and Special theroies of relativity. General relativity is fine up untill a certian point. It dosen't explain the Universe as it is, it dosen't even explain what happens sub-atomicly, his theory is in-complete. However, it's along the right lines and would be shocked if the answer was way off. So Enstein's greatest legacy is "less then half a theory" for the understanding of gravation. Some of his other work was genius, no doubt.
@COOH28 but the thing we remember him for is a sham really. Aside from E2=M2C4+P2C2... When Stephen Hawking checks out we'll see how his work stands in 80 years. Then we can compare properly. To call Newtons laws "intuitive" shows your clear lack of knowlage on the subject. The laws were discovered in the 17th century. Before people knew of space and the forces that act in it existed...
@meloveoasis Lack of understanding is to put Einstein in the same level of Hawking and to call his work "half a theory". If his work is half a theory then Newton's one is quarter a theory. There were several forgotten scientists prior to Newton who already formulate part of his discoveries and in any case Newton theory made clear distinction between mass and space and between time and space, Einstein show how they are all interact and that time is actually a dimension
@meloveoasis that was the most counterintuitive argument was ever made in science. It's 100% true that Newton was revolutionary, but if you want to argue that his discoveries were more counterintuitive than those of Einstein then you must explain how is that that simple people can understand them many times after one single very brief explanation-which is certainly not the situation with Einstein theories. Your argument that Einstein contributed nothing for the understanding of subatomic
World is an argument out of ignorance. Einstein's PhD work suggested new way to calculate Avogadro constant and diameter of molecules and by that significantly helped to prove the very existence of atoms. Not to mention how many sub atomic particles were predicted based on his works or his development of the concept of the photon and other significant contributions to the physics like bosons which were side-works for him. Hawking is not even close to him, Newton does-but from behind.
@MastaMetalzilla Any comparison between Einstein and Hawking is ridiculous. There are very few scientists in history that can argue for place in the same league of Einstein and Hawking is certainly not one. What more that Einstein works were all of empirical nature since their beginning while Hawking work is very much impossible to prove or refute and in any case, much less significant than Einstein work. Newton is the only famous physicist that is in the same league with Einstein and is one
Newton is one of three greatest mathematicians in world recorded history, that's true, but it doesn't make him greater physicist than Einstein. Instead, it make him much better mathematician than Einstein.
@MastaMetalzilla well Leibnetz invented it on pretty much the same day. All of them stood on the shoulders of giants. I am sad Richard Feynman wasn't included.
I've just finished my second physics comedy video. Please check out my channel. I'm attempting to reach out to a crowd that will understand the jokes. Thanks for your time. Sorry for spamming I would really like to think there are enough minds out there that could go for physics humor.
As a great fan as I am of Hawking and his work, I find him sometimes hard to watch because of his condition. It is striking to see how, almost 20 years ago, he was still capable of moving his face and making an expression, yet now he can barely budge his eyebrows.

@blkchk... there's a podcast called "The Battlestar Roundtable" with Ron Moore and cast members of BSG where he relates to them the story of when Dr. Hawking came to visit the set of TNG... epic!
@miki1900 Newton broke ground (motiona movement of celestial bodies) Einstein broke ground ( The universe is four dimensional) Hawking broke ground (The temperature of black holes, which rediated triggering the eventual evaporation of these monster, which everyone scared to research. Eventually has been discovered that the singularity at the center of black holes have the same dimentions of the universe at the instant of the big bang.)
Stephen, Einstein, Newton, Gallilei, Napoleon Bonaparte, Khalid Ibn Al Waleed, Saladin, Gandhi, Luther King Jr., Mandela, Sun Tzu and Hannibal = EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see a history film where the greatest people of all time meet each other!
@JanusChristIsRisen well he spent too much time trying to convert ordinary metals into gold.,learning hebrew to read the "salomons temble code"..and exposing his eyes to sun during 1 hour...
@FULANODETAL Alchemy was not a ridiculous field in its day, for all we know string theory could end up in the same historical dust bin. So no it wasn't "wasted" time. To quote Thomas Edison "I didn't fail, I discovered 1000 different things that didn't work".
@minitrueful he is extremely smart. he chooses letters and words using his eyes and touching that thing on his face with his cheek. the synthesizer talks for him
P.A.M Dirac was another of history's great minds, similar to Hawking in that they both once held the chair of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge university in england. he was very astute, he theorised antimatter from pure mathematics during his preliminary attempts at unifying special relativity and quantum theory- which he was sucessfull at doing by use of Clifford algebra, by mere recognition alone of the similar matematical patterns. this proved the existence of the Q.M matrices.
His laws of motion and universal gravitation are still used today! Einstein's general relativity certainly explained a lot more but Newton's basic principles were still correct.
Not to mention, a little thing called CALCULUS. One of the most important creations in all mathematics. So many modern inventions never would've happened without calculus!
Lol sorry for the very nerdy rant. It is a star trek clip though so I'm certainly not out of place. Newton's my hero in science so I felt the urge to defend him. He was undoubtedly one of the most widely talented scientists who ever lived. The claim of the greatest ever physicist could go to any one of 5-10 guys (galileo,einstein,plank,newton,faraday etc).However, Newton is the only one who would actually contend for the greatest physics AND mathematician. Rant over!
Don't know much about him, other than his reputation. The problem is, you can be the greatest genius in the world and be completely forgotten unless you make a big discovery/invention. I mean, 99% of the physicists who ever lived were probably more intellectually bright than someone like Charles Darwin. He'll be remembered longer though as he revolutionised the world with his work.
@chebob2009 Agreed. When consider things like Darwinius Masillae hanging on someone's wall for 20 years without anyone realizing what it really was, it really is about being the right person in the right time. SOMEONE would have gone on that Beagle Voyage, Darwin was just in the right place at the right time.
@JanusChristIsRisen Just like Isaac Newton and the apple... the right place at the right time, eh?
You're selling Darwin a little short on his contribution. I believe the correct statement would be the right person, at the right place, at the right time.
I mean, it's not like Darwin was just some hot governor picked to be a Vice Presidential candidate. He actually had something (brains) to contribute to his field of study. He may not have been alone on evolution, but he was a leader.
@IaoGawd I hold Darwin in the highest of regards mainly due to his decision to publish "Origin" of which sat in a closet for 10 years. I suppose that you're right in that someone else might not have ever published such findings.
@JanusChristIsRisen He only published it because somebody else was going to publish a similar work first - whose name I can't remember because Darwin did publish his first.... but he was a lazy son of a bitch.
@JanusChristIsRisen yeah, totally don't believe in the existence of god. Its a myth, like any other religion. And like all religions, is the cause of war, bigotry and ignorance. I like to pretend I understand why people feel the need to believe in god, but I'm lying. I think its stupid.
@Katz1065 People feel the need to believe in gods purely for cultural reasons, it's hard to buck the system when everyone in your family, school, town, and nation believes something so strongly no matter how irrational it may seem to an outsider.
@Katz1065 as a matter of fact, Darwin took many ideas from the wrintings of his granpa, latter it took to him 50 years for him to finally end the book and publish it, but think 'bout the time in wich he lived. About the other guy wich name I also forgot, hehe, he came with ideas very similar to Darwin's, it's very common that in different places 2 o more people get to very similar conclusions without knowing a thing about each other, that's the beauty of reason.
I remember this episode when it first aired. In a way it makes me rather sad though-this was less than 20 years ago,but you can see the difference in Hawking then and now. Here he was much more animated and capable of expressing himself,but today he is barely capable of moving his facial muscles. He has handled it heroically, but to have such an incredible mind and be so limited in how to express it must be maddening at times for him.

Stephen, Einstein, Newton = Awesome!
Stephen, Einstein, Newton, Gallilei, Napoleon Bonaparte, Khalid Ibn Al Waleed, Saladin, Gandhi, Luther King Jr., Mandela, Sun Tzu and Hannibal = EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see a history film where the greatest people of all time meet each other!

@FULANODETAL Alchemy was not a ridiculous field in its day, for all we know string theory could end up in the same historical dust bin. So no it wasn't "wasted" time. To quote Thomas Edison "I didn't fail, I discovered 1000 different things that didn't work".

P.A.M Dirac was another of history's great minds, similar to Hawking in that they both once held the chair of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge university in england. he was very astute, he theorised antimatter from pure mathematics during his preliminary attempts at unifying special relativity and quantum theory- which he was sucessfull at doing by use of Clifford algebra, by mere recognition alone of the similar matematical patterns. this proved the existence of the Q.M matrices.

@JanusChristIsRisen
Was that sarcasm?
His laws of motion and universal gravitation are still used today! Einstein's general relativity certainly explained a lot more but Newton's basic principles were still correct.
Not to mention, a little thing called CALCULUS. One of the most important creations in all mathematics. So many modern inventions never would've happened without calculus!

@JanusChristIsRisen
Lol sorry for the very nerdy rant. It is a star trek clip though so I'm certainly not out of place. Newton's my hero in science so I felt the urge to defend him. He was undoubtedly one of the most widely talented scientists who ever lived. The claim of the greatest ever physicist could go to any one of 5-10 guys (galileo,einstein,plank,newton,faraday etc).However, Newton is the only one who would actually contend for the greatest physics AND mathematician. Rant over!

@chebob2009 What do you think of Edward Witten?
JanusChristIsRisen 1 year ago
@JanusChristIsRisen
Don't know much about him, other than his reputation. The problem is, you can be the greatest genius in the world and be completely forgotten unless you make a big discovery/invention. I mean, 99% of the physicists who ever lived were probably more intellectually bright than someone like Charles Darwin. He'll be remembered longer though as he revolutionised the world with his work.
chebob2009 1 year ago
@chebob2009 Agreed. When consider things like Darwinius Masillae hanging on someone's wall for 20 years without anyone realizing what it really was, it really is about being the right person in the right time. SOMEONE would have gone on that Beagle Voyage, Darwin was just in the right place at the right time.
JanusChristIsRisen 1 year ago
@JanusChristIsRisen Just like Isaac Newton and the apple... the right place at the right time, eh?
You're selling Darwin a little short on his contribution. I believe the correct statement would be the right person, at the right place, at the right time.
I mean, it's not like Darwin was just some hot governor picked to be a Vice Presidential candidate. He actually had something (brains) to contribute to his field of study. He may not have been alone on evolution, but he was a leader.
IaoGawd 1 year ago
@IaoGawd I hold Darwin in the highest of regards mainly due to his decision to publish "Origin" of which sat in a closet for 10 years. I suppose that you're right in that someone else might not have ever published such findings.
JanusChristIsRisen 1 year ago
@JanusChristIsRisen He only published it because somebody else was going to publish a similar work first - whose name I can't remember because Darwin did publish his first.... but he was a lazy son of a bitch.

@Katz1065 He wasn't lazy. You'd probably hold out too if you had knowledge that challenged the existence of God.
JanusChristIsRisen 1 year ago
@JanusChristIsRisen yeah, totally don't believe in the existence of god. Its a myth, like any other religion. And like all religions, is the cause of war, bigotry and ignorance. I like to pretend I understand why people feel the need to believe in god, but I'm lying. I think its stupid.
Katz1065 1 year ago
@Katz1065 People feel the need to believe in gods purely for cultural reasons, it's hard to buck the system when everyone in your family, school, town, and nation believes something so strongly no matter how irrational it may seem to an outsider.

Katz1065 1 year ago
@Katz1065 as a matter of fact, Darwin took many ideas from the wrintings of his granpa, latter it took to him 50 years for him to finally end the book and publish it, but think 'bout the time in wich he lived. About the other guy wich name I also forgot, hehe, he came with ideas very similar to Darwin's, it's very common that in different places 2 o more people get to very similar conclusions without knowing a thing about each other, that's the beauty of reason.

I remember this episode when it first aired. In a way it makes me rather sad though-this was less than 20 years ago,but you can see the difference in Hawking then and now. Here he was much more animated and capable of expressing himself,but today he is barely capable of moving his facial muscles. He has handled it heroically, but to have such an incredible mind and be so limited in how to express it must be maddening at times for him.
