>At Google's Zeitgeist Conference in 2011, Hawking said that "philosophy is dead". He believed that philosophers "have not kept up with modern developments in science" and that scientists "have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge". He said that philosophical problems can be answered by science, particularly new scientific theories which "lead us to a new and very different picture of the universe and our place in it".[311]
Is he right?

>this is what anglos actually believe
That's retarded, disregarding the fact that his statement is a philosophical arguement and can't be proven using the scientific method it's still retarded.
>Philosophy is dead, science can answer everything
>except ethical questions
>And aesthetic questions
>And religious questions
>And any metaphysical question
>Stephen Hawking at a Google conference spoke some bullshit about his infallible god aka the Scientific Method
Why do STEMniggers feel so confident in making these sorts of grand proclamations about fields they haven't even begun to look at?
>Hawking is a brilliant man, but he's not an expert in what's going on in philosophy, evidently. Over the past thirty years the philosophy of physics has become seamlessly integrated with the foundations of physics work done by actual physicists, so the situation is actually the exact opposite of what he describes. I think he just doesn't know what he's talking about. I mean there's no reason why he should. Why should he spend a lot of time reading the philosophy of physics? I'm sure it's very difficult for him to do. But I think he's just… uninformed.
Tim Maudlin calling him a tard.
Well the humanities have definitely been taken over by political ideologues pushing an agenda, so make of that what you will.
