Einstein, from what I've read, seemed to have questions, problems, doubts, about alot of his own theories, or ideas he contributed to (entanglement). Then there's the Einstein quote about knowledge vs imagination.
Some quotes of Hawkings that I've read give the impression that he (Hawking) is way more sure of himself.
Plus the fact that Einstein knew Max Plank.
It all adds up to Einstein==way cool (even if he was "a lazy dog').

Hawking turns 70 Sunday.
I may have to change my vote.
I disagree with him on one or two things, but the man must have some kind of superhuman power.
And he did appear on The Simpsons.
Talk radio tells me when asked what his big mistake was Hawking replied: "Thinking information is destroyed in black holes."
Married and divorced twice, with what? Three kids? Hawking says. "Women, you can't understand them."
Now I can't decide who more fly? Einstein or Hawking?
