Hawking's Ego As Large As The Universe


I've read a few of Hawking's books and this guy has the biggest ego ever. Sure, he's a theoretical physicist and he has ALS. However, there are LOADS of other theoretical physicists that are just as bright, but don't act like total D-bags!

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for them they don't have ALS so remain pretty much unknown. Have you heard of any of these people?

Edward Witten
John Henry Schwarz
Yoichiro Nambu
Leonard Susskind
David Gross
Joe Polchinski
Juan Maldacena
Lisa Randall

I've heard of some. Haven't heard of others. What's your point? How is that Hawking 's fault?

Why the anger?

I think as he thought, that his fame is mainly influenced by his disability with all due respect.

In what way does he act like a douchebag?
