Birthday

Today is the birthday of two famous physicists Dr Stephen Hawking and Dr Albert Einstein. The former was an atheist; he had written many books on Theoretical Physics; he was a man of extraordinary courage to face his rare motor neuron disease until his last moments. Some of his works such as the book 'A brief history of time' is against what revered Hindu Scriptures have mentioned. Hence Stephen Hawkings' book is just his own imagination and hence rubbish.

The latter was a vegetarianism supporter like George Bernard Shaw; he lined Gandhian values and declined an offer by the US Government to head the country's Atomic Enery Commission (I remember his comment broadcast over VOA's Studio One in the late 1960s); Most importantly he was an admirer of Bhagavath Geethaa.
