Stephen Hawking Is Very Smart


There are brains out there with some mighty powers.  Stephen Hawking comes to mind right off the bat.  Yes, that Stephen Hawking, the physicist whose work on black holes has led to an entire branch of theoretical physics devoted to understanding the singularity called the Big Bang that created our universe. 

If you want to make your brain throb, trying reading A Brief History of Time, his most approachable work that seeks to explain how looking backwards in time allows us to look forward to the moment when our universe will cease to exist. 

According to the New Scientist, in an interview last week, Hawking is looking at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN as the potential source of supersymmetric particles, specifically, the Higgs boson, that could potentially support the 11-dimension version of string theory. 

However, buried in the article, ostensibly on the occasion of his 70th birthday on Sunday, is a more telling quote that shows exactly how smart Stephen Hawking truly is.  When asked, “What do you think about most during the day?”, he responded:  “Women.  They are a complete mystery.”

Amen Brother.  Amen.

  1. But … but … you know TWO geniuses. And you never even MENTIONED me! 😦 (Sniff, sniff.)
    Or you could use the old quote from the musical “Camelot”. Quotes Arthur, “But Merlin told me once, ‘Never be too disturbed if you don’t understand what a woman is thinking. They don’t do it very often.’ ”
    And if you repeat that in the presence of a female, please include me in your will first! 😉
