  • @BEHHHguesswho chill child, 10 years ago you were turning in your crib.

  • "nothing is faster than light, and nothing could escape" oh, how he must be turning in his grave.

  • Ok..now,after listening to this, I feel so small and dumb :D

  • have people now worked out why pulsars emmit radiation yet? i thought they had?

  • @Kitsua The axial jets of black holes have nothing to do with Hawking radiation, just so you know. Even our sun produced jets when it was forming. The jets are caused by the kinetic energy (heat) generated when sufficient matter falls in any gravitational field of sufficient strength.

  • @Kitsua Oh. I apologize as well for being a dick and pointing it out.

  • @majestic93 Please see my many responses to everyone's justified criticism of my silly comment. 

  • @Kitsua Hawking's what exactly? He didn't miss out on them. He died in '88, ABHOT came out in '88 also. Feynman was well aware of Hawking's scientific accomplishments (although I doubt he cared much as Feynman didn't work with black holes and relativity in the same way as Stephen).

  • @gorgolyt I know, it's exceedingly embarrassing. The one facepalming comment I make and it's the one everyone sees. And on a Feynman video too of all things! Oy.

  • @Kitsua lol okay. shame so many people rated your drunkenness so highly.
