Lee, Stephen, Stathis, Jonathan,

Thanks for your illuminating responses.

I went to http://internationalreporter.com/news/read.php?id=641 and left a
message telling them that I objected to the slur on Hawking, and that I
thought Dr. Baldev was a charlatan. I also rated the article as "Bad," the
worst available rating.

Somebody responded with thanks. In addition to their gratitude, I noticed
that my "Bad" rating of the article had been magically transformed into
"Good."

I think he's talking about Hawking changing his mind as to whether
information can escape from black holes. Hawking always said radiation can
escape, but believed all information was destroyed. He changed his mind
about that. The above quote is pure bovine excrement. Baldev probably got
his doctorate in farming technology.
