That depends… What is the definition of halfway between read and claimed to have been read?

Doesn’t anyone get the reference to the shape of the graph being the World Line thing? (It’s been a while since I read it, and I’m tired, but I know what I’m talking about)

dude just get the audiobook(don’t worry it’s not narrated by stephen hawking).. It’s a great road trip/plane listen. It’s actually really well done and humorous. For all the “P-Branes” in the house, The universe in a nutshell is my fav too though

I preferred his appearances on Simpsons and Futurama — if for no other reason than they actually *had* him come on to read his lines, rather than just using the Bruce” voice on the iMac.

This may have worked even better as a Venn diagram. Still, the idea is solid and funny.

I don’t think that was supposed to be Hawking specifically, or even in a round about way. Good episode though.

agreed. I was confused until i realized it should have been a bar graph. Understanding different values is *not* ill advised

Coincidentally, I read up to chapter 4 in Noah’s Bagel’s yesterday.

don’t you mean: “his sense of humor is actually pretty good!”

“This is a Stephen Hawking joke!”

“So is this!”

Same here. But I actually prefer “The Universe in a Nutshell”. His sense of humour is actually pretty good, too.

Reply buttons, on the other hand, are *not* ill advised.

Some people are huge nerds. That is also ill advised.

Boo…

Continuous curve between discrete domain values is ill advised.

It should have been a bar graph
