The scientific consensus does not support Stephen Hawking's assertion that black holes do not exist. Black holes are widely accepted in the scientific community based on observational evidence and theoretical predictions.

Is a brief history of time outdated in terms of its scientific relevance and accuracy?

As of now, "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking is considered outdated in terms of its scientific relevance and accuracy. The book was published in 1988 and since then, there have been significant advancements in the field of physics that have changed our understanding of the universe. It is still a valuable read for its historical significance and as an introduction to complex scientific concepts, but it is not up-to-date with the latest scientific discoveries.


Who is the no 1 scientist of the world?

There isn't a definitive "number one" scientist in the world as scientific contributions vary greatly across fields. Some prominent scientists that are widely recognized for their work include Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Stephen Hawking, and Isaac Newton. Each of these scientists made significant contributions to our understanding of the universe.


How tall is Stephen Fry?

Is it true the universe began at a specific point in the past and it has been expanding ever since?

It is believed that it began at a specific point of time. Stephen Hawking discusses time as a vector. If it is, then there is a definite beginning, but not necessarily an end. The problem is, this is more of a philosophical or theological question and answer. Some years ago at Syracuse University at a lecture given by Niels Bohr I heard him say that Physics and Philosophy are different sides of the same coin. We may be able to pear into the sky, and see to a point that we believe may have been the origin, but that doesn't preclude something before that.
