In the aggregate, these seemingly disjointed turns of phrase -- "a dump on Stephen Hawking" and "hawking radiation" -- waft the whiff of the "mute" or at best chalk. Which is, I suppose, what we're doing here: fighting our way out of the entropic gyre by scribbling or perhaps simply daubing the walls. Surely some revelation is at hand.
