Stephen Hawking- Is he really as smart as he is said to be?
Read one of his books and then say the same thing :)
I read two of his books that were specifically dumbed down for the general public, and was still overawed and confused enough to curl up in the corner and fear the void.
Yes, I would go so far as to say that he is intelligent.

He's a smart guy, but it seems that often what gets the limelight is the whole issue of overcoming his adversity. I certainly wouldn't figure him to be king of the hill in his field. I read some stuff a while back that I unfortunately have no link to that essentially explained the effect of his popularity.
Its not so much his current work that makes him a genius, but his early stuff that went against conventional knowledge at the time... Like an Einstien of his age....
A book that confuses people...hmmmmmm. I like Sitchin better because his books actually make sense.
Zecharia Sitchin? He is a crackpot.
Hawking is extremely intelligent. His movies are boring, if you took high school physics you might have watched them, but when I perused his books at one point I was lost. He's beyond smart.
Either he's really smart or he just jibber jabbers until no-one understands him, hence coming to the conclusion that you did. And Sithcin isn't a crackpot!
