How does the most important physicist of the last 30 years not have a nobel prize?
Not high enough IQ
>>7782889
seriously why doesn't he have a nobel? he has more cultural significance than any other scientist alive. so he must at least be on the shortlist.
He's a meme who think ayy lmaos want our resources.
How does anyone with a basic grasp of space and scale come to that conclusion?
The answer is they wouldn't.
He's a living lie.
>>7782891
>he has more cultural significance
Then you might as well give a Nobel to Taylor Swift.
It's about accomplishments (substance) not popularity (style).

what is string theory

A meme

Not the way it works.

Nobels are not fucking Oscars.

If Obama got a Nobel prize for being black, then Hawking should get one for being a wheelchair.

He's not Jewish so they won't give him anything.

>Implying the fedora cripple is relevant
>Implying the Nobel prize is not a huge fucking scam
the real answer is he hasn't come up with anything that's been tested and yielded any significant results

You're all filthy goyims, this thread is getting meshuggah. I am -NOT- Jewish, gosh, gosh.
>>7783340
>I am -NOT- Jewish
we know.
Otherwise you would know that goyim is already plural of goy, there is no s at the end.

This is the only right answer.
If it were possible to test and validate his theories on black holes, he'd win a nobel prize for sure.

Popsci meme

calling string theory a meme is a meme itself.

He wrote an amazing dissertation out of grad school - the one where he compared the expansion of the universe to the time-reversed equivalent of a black hole. He basically conceptualized one of the leading problems in astrophysics at the time, and didn't win anything from it.
>>7782917
Hawking has little to nothing to do with String Theory. His famous black hole theories are obtained through quantization of normal general relativity. Because at low energies, non-renormalizable theories are acceptable.
>>7783332
this.
Same reason Peter Higgs got the Nobel after LHC found evidenc of the boson he described 50 years earlier.
If someone detected Hawking radiation he would get a Nobel without a contest.
