    Everyone that has been on the swings, that has fallen off something, that has jumped up and down.

    Everyone.

      Ok, I dd sound a bit dismissive. I've never done one but dream of being a bit more weightless.

        Baloney.

        Hawkings didnt do space walks - he went up once in a plane to simulate weightlesness.

        Grnated he did have some interesting ideas but was off the mark about Time Travel - ie he maintained it was possible to travel forward in Time but not backward.

        Altough he did have some interesting observations of gravity fields around Black Holes.

          Think he was right about Time Travel. I'll give it a go.........

          Yes - as I thought travelled forward 10 seconds. Now I'll try travelling back........

          Nope - didn't work

            Not really trying are you?

                      That's nothing speculative - It's a basic consequence of GR. You travel forward in time just by walking down a flight of stairs, compared with someone who doesn't, and in principle you could travel millions of years into the future compared with a stay-at-home, by making a sufficiently fast round trip.
