It was a philosophical discussion about Stephen Hawking, Phillips was lauding Hawkings theories of gravitational singularities, Black Holes, and Hawking Radiation, Wagner pointed out the the Hadron Collider proved Hawking was wrong and that light speed collisions of protons did not produce Black holes or Hawking radiation, at this point, Phillips lost his temper , broke his beer bottle and stabbed Wagner. Â
Hopefully neither had aids or hepatitis. He is lucky he is not charged with attempted murder.Â
