It seems sooo disconnected from the physical nature of our objective reality to say that the Universe "simply followed the inevitable Law of Physics". He then furthermore implies that the Law of Gravity inevitably existed prior to the existence of the Universe. This is troublesome... given that all Laws of Physics (Gravity included), were perceived and mathematically revealed along scientific advancements of human knowledge. Whereby... the existence of the Universe -as the existence of singular entities of Physical Nature- inevitably existed prior to/brought forth the existence of Physics Laws (Gravity included). But what really made the difference between Hawking's being brilliant and not being wise, was his assertion that Philosophy is dead. Philosophy is not a discipline to be academically acquired. Philosophers are born, not learned. Where, Mr. Hawking is most definitely NOT a philosopher. I believe that Chris is an innate philosopher; and that his life-long teleological work (CTMU) is a superb theory of Philosophy of Science.

It's almost symbolic. Hawking believed that mind had no real control over body, and sadly this slowly became more and more true for him.
