@josephbrown9685 I read it a couple of times. You really can't imagine women reading a well-known book written by our generation's Einstein? Really?

glyn hodges not sure why you'd claim he's famous for having a degenerative disease instead of being a pioneer in big bang theory, blackhole radiation, and all the math behind it. He wasn't the only one, of c (Roger Penrose is still around, and won the prize for 2020, I saw) but he tackled problems that were weird and contradictory, so I'm sure they ensuing indignation among acadamia helped keep his name known. He also captivated the lay man imagination, and tried to bring them up to speed with books. He is a household name for both his achievements and his appeal among the common people, just like Einstein.

glyn hodges I'd suggest Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Schrodinger, (and other quantum physicists I'm forgetting) are much more relevant today than Einstein. Or, consider that Tesla's work was "rediscovered" and is the basis of modern technology, and Einstein even called him the smartest man in the world. It is no insult to Einstein, as these men were all brilliant. As for their personal lives, I don't know much about either. But Hawking made appearances at conferences and TV shows BECAUSE he was a pioneer and wrote a popular book. It's ridiculous to think the book was a NYT best seller because he was disabled. I'm not sure where you animosity and zealotry comes from. All these men made remarkable insights that pushed their respective fields foward.
