#1 I noticed in articles like this that Albert Einstein is frequently mentioned, but they never mention Stephen Hawking name. That indicate that perhaps Stephen Hawking work was not as ground breaking or an improvement over Albert Einstein work?

#3 Seeking, you only cite evidence/theories that agree with you (and most don't understand the difference between evidence and theories).

#4 G(r)omgoru, you forgot hypotheses! I understand a biy more than the average person and agreeing with me is rather irrelevant, what matter is a well thought out argument that can be repeated/experimented by others to prove/disprove a statement.

I'll stop here as i really don't want to go into my background.

#8 As I understand it Stephen Hawking made a lot of statements that cannot be experimentally tested and that the politics in the physics community around String Theory are vicious.

Counting time as a dimension is one thing, positing 13 more dimensions to try and make your math work is another.

#9 Don't you have this backwards AC? More dimensions make harder math.
