Hawking Searching For Africa's Einsteins

nuke-alwin writes "Stephen Hawking has traveled to South Africa in search of Africa's Einsteins. The project will create Africa's first post-graduate center for math and physics. The British government has unfortunately decided not to back the project, which is hoping to fight poverty by identifying the kind of talent that can create wealth." Neil Turok is deeply involved as well; he was recently named to head the Perimeter Institute in Canada, whose server we brought to its knees this morning.

    Africans don't have the brain capacity to be like Einstein.

    Good look to him. Perhaps he will find some Einstein from the white European settlers, but if he is looking amongst the blacks and negros, he's shit out of luck. Jenkem, rape, HIV, murders are about the only thing these creatures excel in.

    This seems like another one of those stupid liberal program that exists to boost negro's self esteem. It is not enough to have 'magical negros' in TV and cinema, we also have to reduce the educational standards to accomodate these beasts.

    Visit The Truth About Africa if you want to read more about Negros and truly understand them.

    Has Steven lost his mind now too? Nothing there but a bunch of uncivilized jungle bunnies that barely even deserve to use the worlds resources.

    Their only value is as an expendable physical labor source.

      WRONG!! They are too full of Aids and too lazy to be valuable for even that.

    ...all the physics in the universe won't help them.

    A major dose of population control is necessary as well, as a lot of Africa's civil unrest and political instability can be traced to overpopulation. Tribal lands get subdivided until they can't be subdivided anymore, and landless youth head to the cities where they are unemployed and easily pressed into whatever militia the local revolutionary, tribal rival or kleptocratic government is organizing today.

    Building infrastructure, handing out OLPCs, curing malaria, etc. isn't going to help.

    You can jump up and down and foam at the mouth as much as you want, it remains that "nothing can move in spacetime" is as true now as it ever was. Spacetime does not allow time travel. It forbids it! Why? By definition, that why. Contradict this truth at your own detriment and see if I care.

    My position is clear: Hawking is a time travel crackpot and so are his followers. I am not in the habit of kissing ass and tell it like I see it. If you don't like what I write, don't read it.

    If the answer is no (and it is), then you, Stephen Hawking, quantum computing crackpot David Deutsch, and a bunch of other famous physicists and scientists are bona fide crackpots. That is all there is to it. Take it or leave it.

    Also, mod me down and see if I care. You can muffle the truth or hide it. The truth always wins out in the end. ahahaha...

    seriously, africa is FULL of failed nigga republics. they get given control, kick out all the smart white people, then go on a rampage killing their policial enemies because their monkey brains can't absorb the concept for democracy.

    it makes me furious when idiots have the hide to turn around and blame the west for them killing each other. fuck make people take some responsibility for their own countries. and no dickheads, i'm not from america.

    I see you idiots are all clinging onto the work "Turok", anything but admit - there are no 'Einsteins' in Africa. Africans have an average IQ of less than 85, in some African countries the average is less than SEVENTY.

    What do blacks offer WHITES when they come to OUR countries? Nothing but crime and misery.
