I read his wiki page out of boredom today. Interesting.

 

So did I. Really interesting stuff I didn't know about him.

My grandma had ALS. Thus, my respect for Stephen Hawking grows 10 fold. He's really amazing as a human.

 

Here's him rapping vs. Albert Einstein

 

 

That was actually not bad. :lol:

I still can not figure out how the hell he communicates, or rather, how a sensor that detects his cheek muscles could possibly figure out what he is trying to say.

As I understand it, it is actually predictive text, he is clicking letters until the correct ones pop up. In a TED Talk it took him 7.5 minutes to complete an answer live. Still cool, but less amazing to me.

The biggest mystery in the universe perplexing one of the world's best known scientists is -- women.

 

When New Scientist magazine asked "Brief History of Time" author Stephen Hawking what he thinks about most, the Cambridge University professor renowned for unraveling some of the most complex questions in modern physics answered: "Women. They are a complete mystery."
