Colby Cosh on the death of John Archibald Wheeler, the man who named "black holes"

John Archibald Wheeler died on Sunday. At 96, he had been the last notable figure from the heroic age of physics lingering among us — a man who could claim to be the student of Bohr, teacher of Feynman, and close colleague of Einstein. He is best known today for having devised the name for the bizarre superdense objects we now call "black holes"; he adopted it in the late '60s, he said, "as an act of desperation, to force people to believe in it."

Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it - in a decade, a century, or a millennium - we will all say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How could we have been so stupid?
John A. Wheeler

well... it guess this is the same for now... when we looked back at the past n think... how can ppl ever think that the world is flat?...

If you haven't found something strange during the day, it hasn't been much of a day.
John A. Wheeler

well... sth strange will help us rmb our day, don't u think so?
but i realli like this quote..
imagine when some1 asks, "hey how's ur day?"
n i say this... dun u think it's great? haha :p

No phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon.
John A. Wheeler

so if u dun see anithg, it doesn't mean anithg...
it's not real unless u can prove it's happening...

Time is what keeps things from happening all at once.
John A. Wheeler

so if time stops, does it means that everything will be happening at the same time?
if u dunno the time then u wont know if the thgs are happening together or not?
eg. if u have 2 exactly same bombs, the way to see if there are different is if they are set to go off at a different time... sorry bad analogy...

To hate is to study, to study is to understand, to understand is to appreciate, to appreciate is to love. So maybe I'll end up loving your theory.
John A. Wheeler

so if u want to prove someone wrong u muz study abt it...
u muz understand wad's the prob?...
well i think that's difficult esp if u dun like the person...
but i tink that's wad makes him a great man...

all taken from...

ok... meant to update sth else but this is sth i tink i shd share...
n realli sad to hear abt his death...
he was reallli great... well he did come up w so many theories...
realli respect him...
