Stephen Hawking passed away today aged 76. He was a great scientific mind, but he also had a fantastic sense of humor. John Oliver, the host of “Last Week Tonight” on HBO, featured Stephen Hawking in 2014. The resulting interview was one of the funniest things we have ever seen.
In celebration of Stephen
Hawking's life, here it is again. Right out of the bag, Hawking puts Oliver on
his toes, sarcastically agreeing that the interview was “the single greatest
honor” that he has ever been given. Hawking and Oliver discuss the implications
of the possibilities of parallel universes, the potential for artificial
intelligence to overthrow mankind, and the chances of nuclear annihilation.
