Did Johnny boy know that Stephen Hawking was going to tell him:

You are an idiot
[–] CodeInvasion 37 points 5 months ago

It took Hawking minutes to create some responses. Without the use of his hand due to his disease, he relied on the twitch of a few facial muscles to select from a list of available words.

As funny as it is, that interview, or any interview with Hawkins contains pre-drafted responses from Hawking and follows a script.

But the small facial movements showing his emotion still showed Hawking had fun doing it.

Yeah. What a privilege to be called 'idiot' by Hawking. (This is not sarcasm. I would brag about that forever, if I had the privilege.)
