16 Times Stephen Hawking Made Us Laugh While Teaching About the Universe

It cannot be denied that the late Stephen Hawking was among the greatest and most intelligent individuals in this world. While we still mourn the loss of an incredible scientist, perhaps it is only right to remember how significant he was. And what better way to do that than highlighting his humorous side!

Yes, that is right – Stephen’s humor was as great as his intelligence. This was even clearly stated in a documentary called “Stephen Hawking: A Brief History of Mine.” According to him, humor will always have a major role in his life. Why exactly? Well, that is because it helped him overcome the struggle of degenerative motor neuron disease, a condition he was first diagnosed in 1963.

Albeit known for his intelligence, Stephen Hawking was also a man with a great sense of humor.

Hawking, in his documentary, was quoted:

I have lived over 2/3 of my life with a thread of death hanging over me. Because every new day could be my last, I have developed a desire to make the most of each an every minute.

Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival. As has been maintaining a sense of humor.

Sadly, Hawking passed away on March 14th, and ever since people have shared their tributes to this remarkable human being. One particular executive producer-writer (“The Simpsons”) named AI Jean went to social media to post his own tribute. He said:

RIP Stephen Hawking. A sense of humor as vast as the universe.
