Canada Goose online Did Hawking have polio rather canada goose outlet online store than ALS Canada Goose online
canada goose coats on sale Did Hawking have polio rather than ALS?As we all know, Stephen Hawking is a medical anomaly, for he lived for over half a century with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) a disease that usually kills you within just a few years of diagnosis. As far as I know, he had the canada goose outlet legit disease for longer than https://www.canadagoosejacketonlines.ca any human in history.The Torygraph has a new article, based on a physician letter sent to to the Financial Times that after some canada goose outlet black friday sale effort, I finally found unpaywalled. Here it is (I think the first sentence is an unintended double entendre):Well, this dude is a physician, canada goose outlet online uk and what do I know? But my canada goose outlet montreal impression of polio was that it does most of its damage at the outset, and doesn get canada goose outlet online progressively worse over decades, as Hawking illness seems to have done. Not that his polio if that what he had could have been ameliorated, but didn doctors think of that? And there must surely be a test to see if you have a virus versus ALS.Perhaps Hawking was simply an outlier: a very rare case of hyper longevity that has been seen in other fatal diseases. (Steve Gould cure of mesothelioma is similar.)Well, it not of canada goose outlet online store review great import what disease killed Hawking; what I found more interesting was this article, also goose outlet canada in the Torygraph (click on screenshot to see it).A final theory explaining how mankind might detect parallel universes was completed byStephen Hawkingshortly before he died, it has emerged.Colleagues have revealed canada goose outlet michigan the renowned theoretical physicist’s final academic work was to set out the groundbreaking mathematics needed for a spacecraft to find traces of multiple big bangs.Currently being reviewed by a leading scientific journal, the paper, named A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation, may turn out to be Hawking’s most important scientific legacy.Fellow researchers have said canada goose parka outlet uk that if the evidence which the new theory promises had been discovered before Hawking died last week, it may have secured theNobel Prizewhich had eluded him for so long.The problem with the idea of a multiverse, an canada goose outlet nyc idea that fascinates me, is that it seemed largely untestable. Hawking paper implies that this might not be the case:I asked a friend who has PPS and here is his response: “I assume one would have to test at the onset of the polio attack for the polio virus. I am unsure how are one tests for ALS. I was never tested when I was 17 but I had all the outward symptoms of a polio virus attack. Post polio diagnosis is all by symptoms, mostly by a weakening of the muscles after one has seemingly recovered from polio. I was tested for degeneration of the nerves when I was told I had post polio syndrome. I canada goose jacket outlet toronto was tested for the strength of the nerves that send signals to the muscles. I believe the acronym to test for proper working of the nerves is ESM or something canada goose outlet london akin to that. I canada goose outlet washington dc often wondered why Hawking lived so long with ALS. I thought it might be due to the highly skilled medical care he may have received around Cambridge U.”Absolutely stunning, if Hawking final work turns out to be so groundbreaking. The man was incomparable.Regarding Cooper letter, he makes the classic of one mistake. It is mathematically incorrect to claim probability that Hawking had is low. It canada goose outlet vancouver would be true to say that if canada goose outlet 2015 we randomly selected someone diagnosed with ALS, the probability that they would survive as long as Hawking did is extremely low. But canada goose outlet this isn what we are doing. We observed Hawking surviving for 55 years after diagnosis already; you can discard that information. If you could, then any outlier in any context would be an diagnosis, because the a priori chance of observing such an outlier is low. But given enough people with ALS, some will be outliers (this is mathematically guaranteed). canada goose outlet in vancouver The fact that Hawking was also brilliant and famous is likely a mere coincidence.But given enough people with ALS, some will be canada goose outlet location outliers (this is mathematically guaranteed). The fact that Hawking was also brilliant and famous is likely a canada goose outlet london uk mere coincidence.Though his fame (and profits from books) enabled him to spend millions of pounds on his care and keeping him alive and giving himself some degree of quality of life.And his personality meant that he was determined to keep going. Many people may have just mentally given up (I pretty sure I would have).So, maybe not just a coincidence.if canada goose outlet store new york Hawking’s final work turns out to be so groundbreaking. The man was incomparable. you mean this given his great courage with that illness, yes.But otherwise, I inclined to disagree. If simply incomparable scientifically, it would have to be incomparably lesser than Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Dirac, Feynman, again I disagree with myself there. And not incomparably greater than Steven Weinberg and Frank Wilczek, contemporaneous, in the same field again.The quote theory explaining how mankind might detect parallel universes. maybe should have said another different theory unless I am misunderstanding in comment canada goose jacket outlet store 18 below.I thought everybody knew that. Rosalind Franklin is the famous example of missing out through being dead. She probably would have shared in the Watson/Crick/Wilkins award had she lived long enough.In any case, nominees have to be alive on the date of announcement nowadays and they don generally make an award for several years after the work in question is canada goose outlet hong kong published (in case it turns out to be wrong), so Stephen Hawking has missed out by ten years or more if this latest work were to be the basis of his award.He probably should already have a Nobel prize though for some of his previous work.I don think a single spaceship would do the trickHawking seems to be suggesting canada goose outlet eu we can detect multiple Big Bangs originating close to our own Big Bang these might imprint on gravitational waves from our early universe. Those would be very long wavelength waves [I guessing] would require a space based version of LIGO. The proposed Laser Interferometer Space Antenna [LISA] a trio of spacecraft in an equilateral triangle with sides of 2,500,000 km long on a heliocentric orbit. The whole kit caboodle would canada goose outlet belgium work like LIGO with a split laser bouncing back forth between the spacecraft.I don know if LISA is big enough for the job, canada goose outlet sale but the computing power to extract the gravitational wave signal will be challenging you have to have the triangle at JUST the right size to pick up the waves of interest like tuning a radio to pick up a limited range canada goose outlet jackets of signals canada goose coats on sale.
