I've been at the edge of my seat (so to speak) about this since I found out about it. Hawking is one of the people I aspire to be like, and I've been doing all I can to try and keep up with his utter genius for years. I have to admit, I never thought he'd go back on this theory (although I always hoped, because of the incredable weight* this discovery might mean). Unfortunatally, I don't see mankind proving this theory in my lifetime, though I can dream. We have to move forward in several areas of quantum physics before we can begin to decode the information floating out there.
When I first heard that the International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation is heald in Dublin, I suddenly got this flash of a bunch of the worlds top physists telling really boreing physics jokes over tall lager beers in a pub after the confrence. Those guys know how to have a good time, after all.
