Finemann, Susskind, Galfard and Chandra – Some of the inheritors of the Newton, Einstein, and Planck legacy. These are brains that change how we perceive the universe. But only Einstein and Hawkings will be remembered.
Why? Because Einstein had great hair. But Stephen Hawking is even cleverer. He had a best seller that we all bought and read the first half of before losing interest, so there’s a start. But in a post Dr Who age, where we in the West are all dimly aware of the complexity of the universe – he captured our imagination not because of his maths, but because he looks and sounds like Davros.
