This has been a must watch for me over the past few weeks. Saddened to see it finish in a way, but it yet again highlights for me how very much we need to encourage and support science, maths and intellect.
I think these people are seen as "odd" in far worse a way by modern society than we cyclists could ever be. If we're accused of being "arrogant" they are accused of "playing god" and there is no greater insult and compliment rolled into one.
So why aren't we doing more to encourage the development of the human race? I wonder if its due to fear more than money. Many great scientific discoveries came from poor financial backing if at all. Serendipity plays its part ofcourse.
Anyway, it go me thinking not just about our development but how we will lose a great mind, Hawkin's, to disease. I really hope someone finds a cure oneday. Will he go mad from not being able to exclaim all that he used to, and being eventually completely and utterly trapped in his own body?
