Stephen Hawking Finds Women To Be The Greatest Mystery

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

University of Cambridge physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking has probed the secrets of time and space, but there’s one thing that continues to puzzle him: the opposite sex. “Women. They are a complete mystery,” Hawking said in an interview with New Scientist. Apparently, the genius behind the bestseller “A Brief History of Time” doesn’t quite have the ladies figured out despite two marriages. Ahead of a symposium to mark his 70th birthday entitled “The State of the Universe,” Hawking, who has been left almost completely paralyzed from a rare motor neurone ailment (sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease in the U.S.), shared one of his biggest blunders with the publication. “I used to think that information was destroyed in black holes. But the AdS/CFT correspondence led me to change my mind. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science,” he said.
