British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, widely regarded as the most brilliant mind in physics since Albert Einstein, has revealed in a recent interview what he finds to be the biggest mystery in the entire universe: women.
According to Hawking, “they [women] are a complete mystery.”
In his interview with the New Scientist, Hawking also spoke about the state of physics today, its most exciting developments, his career, and what he would call his biggest scientific blunder. As is appropriate to the non-physics inclined masses, the New scientist, in addition to the Q&A, also has helpful notes to allow the average reader at least a little comprehension as to what Hawking is talking about.
As for the occasion, it is Hawking's 70th birthday. Is is commonly known, Hawking suffers from ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, a neurological disorder that paralyzed its victims and normally results in death within a few years of diagnosis. In what is, in all probability, a world record for survival time with the disease, Hawking was diagnosed 49 years ago.
However, despite being trapped in a body that is essentially a prison, Hawking's mind has remained as vibrant as ever as, through his decades-long career in academia, Hawking has revolutionized the world of physics, a fact that scientists from all over the world will celebrate this weekend at a London symposium held on Hawking's 70th birthday called “the State of the Universe.”
