We live in a world where Hawking outlives Amy Winehouse. He's being kept alive by the lizard gods.

I don't doubt that there's plenty of scientists who are extending Tesla's work. But they're being stifled. If BP or whoever buy out a patent, well it doesn't matter what Hawking can figure out, because if someone beat him to it and sold the patent, then Hawking can do nothing with his fancy numbers and drooly chin.

You know who John Hutchison is, right?
