        It took Hawking minutes to create some responses. Without the use of his hand due to his disease, he relied on the twitch of a few facial muscles to select from a list of available words.

        As funny as it is, that interview, or any interview with Hawkins contains pre-drafted responses from Hawking and follows a script.

        But the small facial movements showing his emotion still showed Hawking had fun doing it.

        I mean, it would be in comparison to Stephen hawking, so who is immune

          Yeah. What a privilege to be called ‘idiot’ by Hawking. (This is not sarcasm. I would brag about that forever, if I had the privilege.)

    One of his closest friends near the end was Jimmy Carr, he loved comedians and comedy, every appearance of him in the Simpsons before his death is voiced by him.

    There’s this amazing rendition of the Galaxy song with a brilliant ending with Brian Cox and Stephen Hawking, that came out right around the time of his passing, and it tears me up every time.

    Great human being with a huge sense of humor.

    Didn’t Hawking get caught going to Epstein island?

      His name is noted on the guest list, although I think it’s likely that while anyone that visited should be treated with suspicion it’s likely that not every single person that did so is an abuser, gotta have some names to throw people off the scent.

      Hawking may very well have been someone doing the heinous shit on that island but we can’t ever say for sure and even if he did we can’t exactly say his discoveries are bunk because of it and he’s dead so we couldn’t punish him for it anyways. If he did fuck him but I’m skeptical

        Start with the frequent flyers. He likely invited people with the purpose of entrapping them with blackmail, so single trip visitors are not likely coconspirators.
