The Brothel And The Academic

Jensen response to two articles he saw in the paper, one on a new Brothel in Sydney, the other on Hawking's statement about heaven: Articles | The Brothel And The Academic | Phillip Jensen:
"His [Hawking] opinion has less to do with his scientific expertise than his situation of facing imminent death for the last half century... His view of life after death is not a scientific view, and his eminence as a scientist is irrelevant to his opinion. Other equally eminent academic scientists, hold the opposite view to him on this subject. The media does not ask them because they are not media celebrities. Their opinion is not considered important because it is outside their field of expertise."
