uh oh

Y’know, when I heard the news of his death, I thought back on Hawking’s greatest achievements, between writing A Brief History of Time, formalizing Hawking radiation, and even cracking a few jokes at the expense of John Oliver’s ego. When he first learned about his condition, the doctors told him basically OP’s question, but there he was, a being of both science and the strength of human will. I will never forget the accomplishments he made, despite his condition.

But none more than how he managed to-

“Wait, did I ever fact-check the last time I made a joke about Hawking having had an affair? The Wikipedia article doesn’t comment on it, and I can’t find anything that backs it up. All I have is Stephen Hawking filing a second divorce and some vague stuff about a strained marriage. Fuck it all, I’m just gonna stop making this joke every few months. He deserves better than this.”
