that's a nice picture
Einstein did the same...there's a complex school of thought that says God and science are part of the same thing, but I don't want to get into a fight todayI thought so too, but I've seen some of his quotes and he references God sometimes.

Found this interesting too. Hawkings last post on Reddit, where he was often quite active:
[Reddit user's Question]
I'm rather late to the question-asking party, but I'll ask anyway and hope. Have you thought about the possibility of technological unemployment
, where we develop automated processes that ultimately cause large unemployment by performing jobs faster and/or cheaper than people can perform them? Some compare this thought to the thoughts of the Luddites, whose revolt was caused in part by perceived technological unemployment over 100 years ago. In particular, do you foresee a world where people work less because so much work is automated? Do you think people will always either find work or manufacture more work to be done? Thank you for your time and your contributions. I’ve found research to be a largely social endeavor, and you've been an inspiration to so many.
Hawking's Answer:
If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.

Nice. My hunch is many wealthy people only feel wealthy if they have more than those around them. It's all about status
