The Lighter Side of Stephen Hawking: The Physicist Cracks Jokes and a Smile with John Oliver

in Uncategorized | March 14th, 2018 Leave a Comment

In our tribute to Stephen Hawking earlier today, we discussed the intellectual legacy of the departed physicist, paying particular attention to his groundbreaking work on black holes. The video above is a bit lighter. It just lets you watch Hawking in a comedic exchange with his compatriot John Oliver. If I’m not mistaken, around the 3:46 mark, you can even see him crack a smile. Enjoy.
