Is Stephen Hawking a prophet?

So how does the overlay of classical philosophy look on superstring theory?

I'm not sure that Judaism has much to say about physics.

Joseph Smith, however, did have things to say about physics, and that's what makes it interesting. To Joseph, there is/would be no barrier between theology and physics. I think if Joseph were here on the earth with us today, few people would be more keenly interested in understanding theoretical physics and its implications as a lay person, than him.

His special genius was synthesizing an Enlightenment perspective (which was in the atmosphere) with a Christian, really, more Old TEstament magic world view. Kind of like a dirty gimlet.
