It's an image worth pondering for a moment. Maybe, when you cut past the instrumental and songwriting virtuosity, the funny voices and characters, what is left is a man alone in his recording studio for days at a time.
I'm not bashing anyone here, but what really seperates Hawking form the others is his knowledge of stuff not Earth-related, or of this planet. His knowledge is of the cosmic variety. I'm willing to bet that with his intelligence he could have accomplished everything everyone else here did, but they wouldn't have the slightest idea of what he is talking about.

He doesn't get string theory - not that I do either but its why his Physics is considered old hat now. As his body atropied he created tools (methods) for working out the kind of maths his cosmology required. Unfortunately they are tools ill suited to the Physics which was going on outside his mind, and he fell behind. No Unified Field Theory here! No chance anymore.

Yes he has visualisation techniques that he uses to model things in 3D an amazing but flawed skill. He is a one off no doubt but despite that his no Newton or Gauss
